Here's a quick and dirty way of finding out if Acrobat Reader
thinks your received PDF is corrupted or not. A number of lines
equal to 1 means the file has been touched in a malicious way:

   >>> corrupt = open("corrupt_file.pdf", "rb").read()
   >>> working = open("working_file.pdf", "rb").read()
   >>>
   >>> len(corrupt.split("\r\n"))
   1
   >>> len(working.split("\r\n"))
   214

> a. Using python 2.3 and reportlab 1.19, windows

Now guess, which component is most likely to be blamed for that? ;-)
