I have creaed a latex file and converted it to PDF, and it won't open on a friend's machine.
In my preamble I have \usepackage mathptmx In order to run the conversion, I simply exported the document using the file->export->PDF option. I have a linux box, and I can open the resulting PDF file with both xpdf and acroread. In addtion, I mailed to the file across my apartment to my girfriend's Macintosh, and the PDF file opens perfectly with Acrobat 5. The file looks beautiful. However, my friend has a Windows box, and he reports this error: Adobe Acrobat 5.0 tells me that it cannot open it and that the "root object is missing or invalid." I tried exporting the document as latex and running dvips -Ppdf -o outfile.ps infile.dvi ps2pdf outfile.ps Again, this produced a perfectly working version for both my linux box and for the Macintosh, but it would not open on the Windows machine. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]* ************************
