Hi all,
I'm fairly new to processing PDF files, is there a way to verify that 
a PDF file is good or not? We have a system that rips (rasterizes)
PDF files for digital offset printers and the rips fail on some
PDF files for reasons I can't figure out, but look like problems
in the PDF files. I'd like to be able to verify the PDF files, figure
out what's wrong and fix our upstream process that produces the
PDF files.

Thanks in advance,
Doug
