Good day,

I work helpdesk for a government division in Canada and some of the employees I support have been having some difficulties with particular PDF files that look somewhat corrupted. One tried printing with a LaserJet 4100 and it output like 50 pages of random coding... I've taken all the necessary steps to rule out the possibility of the driver being faulty and I am positive that it was this PDF file is to blame. I've also tried it on other printers and they react differently but still abnormally (like taking an extra long time to load it up to memory). Another strange thing about these file is that when I try to "Read out loud" it says (outloud) "Warning, empty page".
