PDF files only: when [] or () are used, the file won't open - ISSUE RESOLVED
My problem started (I think) when I upgraded to the current version, which is 8.1.1

For example, if I have an an editor listed in the author field, such as this:

xxxx, xxxx [Ed.]

the file doesn't open. The "Book Files" also will not open. When I remove those brackets, then everything is fine.

Same thing with parenthesis in the author field, as below:

(put author here)

Same issue here, but in the TITLE field:

[15] The Works of James Branch Cabell : The Eagle's Shadow

When I delete the brackets, the file opens.

This is only with PDFs, by the way.

Sometimes I can be pretty stupid about obvious things. Don't hesitate to let me know.

I don't know, but I am able to export the file, using the quartz filter, and save it as a black and white PDF file.

(Mobileread memeber DrChiper - see above - has added additional info on this issue.)
