Dear pdf experts,
I have an issue opening a pdf-file in java on windows the straight
way. I do it this way
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd /c start acrord32 " \"" + fileName +
"\""); //fileName e.g. test.pdf
Adobe reader opens but with a message dialog (I translated with
original german message into this english):
"acrobat could not open "test.pdf", because the file type is not
supported or the file is damaged (e.g. if it is sent as email
attachement and ws not decoded correctly."
After touching with my java exec the pdf-file cannot be opened via
windows directly any more. When I open the document it has another
decoding now (many black rectangles with some strange other
characters, the lines are pretty short now).
I really don't know what could be happening.
You are creating a file test.pdf.
I assume you can open it before the exec.
Can you open it from a DOS box with cmd /c start acrord32 ?
Does this command make the PDF corrupt?
What if you make a simple standalone Java program
and do the exec. Does this make the PDF corrupt?
I think it's not the 'touching' with java exec that causes
the problem, but that something else is happening along
the way (be it in your Java program or by something
that is active in your Operating System).

Bruno
