Cause for "Too many arguments" in Adobe Reader 7?

[Matthew Langham <ml...@s-und-n.de>]

Hi,

A few people seem to be having problems opening FOP generated PDFs with the
new Adobe Reader 7. They basically get an error message "There were too many
arguments" and after closing the error box, the document is displayed
normally.

To date I have not seen an answer to this and therefore posted the problem
again to the Adobe support forum. And I received a reply that basically
states there is an error in the PDF - the whole anser is here:

Just "Login as Guest" to read the thread.


The author of the answer also points here as to the cause:

Can someone from the FOP team give me a heads-up on this - and is there a
fix? And I apologize if this has already been discussed somewhere - just
point me there.

Thanks

Ok, I guess I can answer that one now myself. Looks as those having the
problem are running an old version of FOP - as this bug error:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9054 seems to be exactly
that.
