Are the SDK4 Acrobat doc files purposely different for Unix and
Windows? I downloaded the Unix SDK (palmos40dr4-sdk.tar.gz) by mistake
and had nothing but trouble trying to open the Acrobat files. Grabbed
the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe web site and still
got the 'File is damaged but being repaired' error messages.
Once I realized that I had missed the Windows SDK, I went back and got
it as well. I noticed that the sizes and checksums are different, and
that the Windows doc files open fine. Strange, huh? (The "Palm File
Format Spec" and "Web Clipping Guide" are identical in both SDKs, and I
had no difficulties opening those two files.)
OS: Win NT4, SP4
Acrobat Reader version 4.05c
