Hi,

I just noticed that though I can read pdf files, the standard pdf reader on my pocketbook pro 903 seems to fail at rendering one of my pdf files.

I have this pdf file that is about 50 MB in size, containing about 500 pages.
I can correctly open it on my windows pc.
I also have already opened pdfs with more pages than this one on the reader, though the size in MB was much smaller than this one.
Therefore I drew the conclusion that this will probably be just a bunch of scans grouped in a pdf document.

Anyway, what I get is the following:
in the status bar, it reports the correct number of pages, but all text and pictures are replaced by blocks.

In the properties it says the pdf was created using ABBYY finereader 10
It also says it is PDF version 1.6

Can it be that this version is not supported by the pdf reader on the pocketbook?
Or is this pdf somehow protected that it puts blocks on the text so you can not read it?
Or maybe the reader can not handle pdf files of this size?
Or maybe the reader can not handel scanned pdf files?

Is there a better reader out there?

I am using pocketbook pro 903
software version: D903.2.0.5 20110314_121317

kind regards,

Nirious
