Damaged PDF files

Hi,
I have created a web application with ASP.Net 2.0. I also have created a
report using Reporting Services 2005. After showing the report on the
screen, I give the suer the possibility to export to report. One of the
possibilities is PDF. Now we have some troubles with this export.
On some PC's after saving or opening the PDF we got the message :
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could
not be repaired"
It only appears on some PC's, on other PC's exporting the same documents
works fine. It also didn't have any effect on the version of Acrobat. The
problems comes with Acro v 5, 7 and 8. Even after upgrading, deinstalling,
rebooting, installing a newer version the problem still exists on those PC's.
So I hope that someone have a solution for this as we don't know if it's a
problem with reporting services or with acrobat.

I've never seen this occur before; however, from what you are saying,
it seems that it is a non-Reporting Services issue. Traditionally, if
it was SSRS, then all of the machines would be behaving the same way.
It may not be related to Acrobat either; however, I'm not sure what
could be causing the problem (missing Adobe update, missing MS Office
update, etc). Sorry that I could not be of further assistance.
