sql server reporting services : Error opening PDF files exported from Reporting Services

Hi,

When I try exporting reports from Reporting Services to a PDF format, I
get the following error:

"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and
could not be repaired."

This has started to happen all of a sudden. There were no problems
with pdf exports before. I have checked and there have been no recent
changes to adobe reader version(5.01) on the user's machine.

Any ideas or guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Hemil.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm all of a sudden having the same
problem with a report that worked fine earlier.

If anyone knows the answer to this . . .

I believe it may have something to do with the version of Adobe Reader. I
just updated to 7.0.5 and started having the same problem. Does reporting
services have a patch or do I need to drop back a version on Adobe Reader?

I am having a similar issue like the one I found on TechNet (at the bottom of
this email).

There are 4 emails generated by Reporting Services for this particular
report, two go to our customers in the “To:” area of the email and two in the
“Bcc:” area. The two going to the “To:” area can not open the PDF file. They
get the error …

Adobe Reader could not open 'Dealer Report FI Only [1].pdf because its
either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for
example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasnt correctly decoded).

(note that the above message was typed by our customer and may not be
exactly what was issued)

The customer says that they have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The
curious thing is that when they forward the email to me I can open it just
fine. Very strange.

Can anyone in the Microsoft world help with this issue?

Thanks,
Larry
