I am having the same problem - just upgraded Adobe Reader to 7.0.5.
Looking at the pdf created in NotePad: Starts with
%PDF-1.3%
1 0 obj [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI] . . . has a bunch of stuff . . .
"ends" trailer << /Size 10 /Root 8 0 R/Info 9 0 R >>
startxref
3893
%%EOF
then after the EOF is a full dump of the HTML code:
%%EOF
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title> . . .
I've asked the database manager to look at the reporting services logs but
if this gives anyone a clue to the cause/solution . . .
