Denis,
Is the problem not to do with your version of Adobe? I managed to open the pdf file with no problems. The version of Adobe Reader I am using is 9.3.2. Sorry I can't help you with your question about informing a user about a problematic pdf file.

If you open the file in Acrobat, it displays correctly there is nothing strange in the document properties but if you copy text from it and try to paste it to another document (Word or text) you get gibberish. Therefore we think something in the file is corrupted. We suspect that the reason in the way how the document was created. The question is, if there is any way that we can inform a user that we have such problematic pdf using PDFBox tool The version we use is pdfbox-app-1.2.1-ecmts-1.5.jar Thanks Best Regards.
