The document reader application is unable to read all PDF flavors. Especially 'exotic' PDF encodings and/or older PDF versions (PDF 1.2 or earlier). PDF 1.4 is recommended. The reader does not support PDF 1.5 Cross-Reference Streams. If the reader is unable to read the document try the following workarounds:

a) Try the free Word-PDF conversion tool provided on the Internet: http://www.doc2pdf.net/ (Word/PDF converter)

b) Try the built-in conversion features provided by Microsoft Word.
