Parsing errors

Nov 30, 2003 2:28AM PST

I recently downloaded a manual from a website and it came up in adobe acrobat reader. As I was scrolling througth the pages I kept getting the message " there were several parsing errors on this page." What are parsing errors and how do I correct this. I haven't had this problem before. I've searched the adobe website and can't find the answer.
I hope I'm in the right forum.

Thank you
Flora

I find I have to contact the author of the document and ask they remake the PDF file.

Google does find a page describing this problem on the Adobe support site: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/18b42.htm

Either you use an old version of Stuffit Expander to download a compressed file which contains this pdf, or there is something wrong in the file and the guy who made it must make a new version. It's a very understandable article.
