Hi Christian,

 Thanks for your example. I have tried it with ROOT 4.01/01 on my linux 
machine. I have generated a PDF file from the "File" pull down menu in the 
canvas menu bar. I can visualize the generated file without any problems 
with: acroread version 5 and gv on my linux machine and with acrobat 
reader version 6 on an XP machine. Note that I saw the problem with the 
file test.pdf you previously sent me (you had generated it with ROOT 
4.00/08). Looking at the recent changes in TPDF, I do not see one which 
could have fixed a such problem. It is difficult for me to debug this 
without a macro reproducing the it, because the error message you get 
comes from a binary compressed part of the PDF file. So to debug it I 
need to regenerate the file without compression.

 Cheers,       Olivier
