Question

I get blank PDF document when opening the generated file with Adobe Reader (8.1.2), output: "There was a problem reading this document (14)." When opening the same with Foxit Reader, it looks fine. It also works with Adobe Reader 8.0 on another machine.

Anyone with similar issues?

I had the same problem, and as per your comment (22 Apr 2008) on GenPDFAddOnDev, it was the embedded font. Thank-you for that lead!

I got it to work by modifying GenPDF.pm (down near the end, where all the other arguments are added) to add an extra argument like so:

push @htmldocArgs, "--no-embedfonts"; # required with Adobe 8.1.0. and 8.1.2.

That argument also makes for smaller (but less portable) PDF files.
