Leatherpleasures · 01-20-2009, 04:26 AM

Hi guys,
sorry if this question has been asked before, i have been scrolling through and not found anything so sorry if i have missed it!
anyhow, i have a sony ereader and i am using pdf's most of the time and never had a problem. i have this on file which i can open and read on my computer but when i try and open it on the ereader library software it says fsk error code=-5 and when it is transfered to my ereader it has the title of the book but says there are 0 pages.
i would be grateful for any suggestions on this!
many thanks!

You say that you read PDFs most of the time but the rest of the post sounds like the file in question is not a PDF. What type of file is it and how large is it?

Hiya RWood!
Sorry if i wasn't too clear about it all! The file in question is a pdf and it is 995kb, so not a big one!

Do you have a link to this PDF?

I have the same problem with a 1.2MB pdf. Picture cover, regular book like pages viewed on the computer (in my case with Firefox) but the code=-5 message when imported to eLibrary. Any ideas anyone please?

Further to my previous the pdf may be password protected, though I can't see it and checked it unblocked in firefox, as Adobe digital 1.7 says when I tried to import it "This version of Digital Editions does not support password-protected documents." It was made in Acrobat PDFMaker 9.0 for Word

was a solution ever found for this problem? because I'm getting it on a html2lrf conversion. To be fair the file is about 10k pages long and the error crops up halfway through.

I'm thinking the size of the file may be the problem?
