It is a shame that my version of Acroread is 4 versions too old so that the Adobe site is of no help to understand what the error message means. While reading a google PDF file, I get often the error 9, which is also something I don't understand. In both kPDF and the native PDF reader of Konqueror, I can read those files with no error message and I presume any PDF reader not from Adobe would do the same. Fortunately, I found an alternative mean to keep the images I need, i.e. irfanview and the image capture. What I want is a mean to copy data to my database...
