While acrobat is at version 6 it is only using PDF standard 1.4

Ah! Trying xpdf I get the following error messages:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...

Did not get errors like that from the other applications.
I still need to upgrade acrobat on my Windows 2000 box to see if it can
read these files or not.
I had the files sent to me twice just on the off chance they had been corrupted. I guess both copies could have been munged the same way but I have received other pdf files from the same source no problem.
I wonder if it is a font problem based on that first error message?
Consider man xpdf and visiting <http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/>
-- good luck
