I've been finding that alot of academic pdf files won't open in the latest 
version of Adobe Reader, whatever that is - it says it's version 9.    It 
claims they're corrupt.    Problem happens only slightly less often since I 
upgraded to the new version.

When I had a trial version of Nitro's pdf software I never had this problem, 
and it was also easier to navigate.
