Uwe: I'm getting this error even with files that don't have included PDFs. Also, I've generated the included files (where I use them) with Acrobat so that they are PDF version 1.4.
I'm using this version of pdflatex (running on Fedora Core 3): $ pdflatex -v pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b kpathsea version 3.4.5 So are you saying that I should install a new version of pdflatex? Any other ideas what could be causing this?
