I opened the referenced document with all of these (in kubuntu Linux): xpdf version 3.02 Okular version 0.10.5 Document Viewer 2.30.3 All worked fine. What did you use? Have you checked whether you're using the latest version of whatever viewer you tried? -Kevin

I tried Adobe Reader 9 version 9.4.7 and it works fine, including thumbnails and table of contents. What exact version does "Help" -> "About Adobe Reader 9..." show? Maybe a download problem? When I run md5sum against the file, I get: ba50d312b97b222627e75b0aefba91a4 postgresql-9.1-A4.pdf How about you? -Kevin

[...googling...} and there are tools for that, this is one: http://www.md5summer.org/ anyway, if your using windows try deactivating any antivirus you have installed (when i used windows years ago i had problems with downloads because of that) -- Jaime Casanova www.2ndQuadrant.com Professional PostgreSQL: Soporte 24x7 y capacitación

Hello all, I have been downloading the postgresql manual in pdf form. I had downloaded for 9.1 release pdf in both A4 and US formats. I tried opening the pdf files on windows 7 using Acrobat Reader X version 10.1.3 and Foxit reader 5.3.1.0606, but both do make complaints of the pdf file. Please suggest alternatives to above pdf readers or please verify the correctness of the pdf files. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/postgresql-manuals-tp5601581p5716885.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - docs mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The 9.1 A4 PDF file from here: http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/9.1/postgresql-9.1-A4.pdf seems fine to me. I tried the same version of Foxit reader on Windows 2003 R2, and am able to view it without trouble. Chrome, Preview, and the pyPdf library on OS X also have no troubles. What "complaint" exactly do you see in Acrobat Reader and/or Foxit? Are you able to download and open other PDFs from the web? Also, could you verify the location you downloaded the PDF from, the size of the .pdf file, and if possible the md5sum as well? Josh

We made some refinements to the way we build and "optimize" the pdfs recently mostly to optimized the quality and the size of the files, and while we did extensive testing on a variety of platforms and pdf viewers there might still be some odd platforms that behave differently.

Hi Josh & Stefan, Download location of postgresql-9.1-US http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/ specifically http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/9.1/postgresql-9.1-US.pdf Details of postgresql-9.1-US File : 2.41 MB MD5 checksum : 9769ad5ce059c295f08666b20a1c4e55 (calculated using winMD5FREE. www.winmd5.com) When opening the pdf in Acrobat Reader X version 10.1.13 on windows 7, i get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired". When opening the pdf in Foxit Reader 5.3.1.0606 on windows 7, i get the message "format error : not a pdf or corrupted.". I could open other pdf files downloaded from internet using both Acrobat Reader X and Foxit Reader.
