Greetings,

I've just built a big rich-media pdf on my Mac (acrobat 9 Pro), checked it twice, runs fine here from a DVD disc. Checked it on several friends' PCs running Vista and Reader 9, comes up "damaged couldn't be repaired," running from the disc or the desktop.

Could file size be an issue? The pdf is almost 3Gs; I noticed that I couldn't optimize it for earlier versions down to 6, didn't yet try going back only to 7 or 8. But then it was Reader 9 that didn't like it on those PCs.

Pulling my hair out, ANY ideas very much appreciated!
