It implies that the PDF is illegal.  Acribat Reader 3.0
was very lax and we got away wiith code that generated illegal
PDF about 3 years ago, but I don't think we have such bugs now.

Can you tell me your OS, your exact Acrobat Reader version
and also send the PDF file which produces the error.  Also,
can you try the same thing with PDF files produced by our
standard test suite, and see if it is generic and reproducible
or just from one file?
Finally, are you embedding any EPS files or other vector graphics
NOT generated by us in the document?

thanks,

Andy
