GamPI have seen this before.
I found two possible reasons for it, and neither seem to be appropriate for your situation. I'll mention them anyway.
First reason was that the pdf file had been created with an adobe writer api that was of a higher release then the adobe reader reading it.
Second reason was that something had messed the file up during ftp or mail. After the faulty transfer the reader failed with the same error.

PrarieI ran the report in HTML and it seems to be this line that is causing the trouble. This is a input text field:
server Report - % Canada WS No Canada virus report -- report being worked on * 3.

LeahCompound reports expect something from eaach report, so if one is not producing any output, can cause issues. I always used
SET EMPTYREPORT = ON
at the start.
So if the one 'being worked on' shouldn't be in the stream, comment it out until fixed.

srizzo123I know that this is a very old topic, but in case anyone runs into this issue again, this error message can occur when a component name in a PDF compound report exceeds 16 characters in length.
