I am trying to open an Adobe Acrobat 4.0 .pdf document but getting an error message "error opening document, could not repair file" from one PC. However, when trying to open the same document from another PC the document opens fine. Other smaller types of pdf documents open fine on every PC. I have tried recreating the document several times using both the distiller and writer. I have also already tried reinstalling Adobe and making the file paging size larger, did not work. Any suggestions?

1) Do you meant that if the pdf is smaller than it works well in this computer? If yes, then it may be related to the memory problem.
If you are using the Win98; use start-->run-->msconfig-->in startup options unclick all the unnecessary software.
2) If you are using a floppy disk to transfer the file; then the media problem of this disk may be a problem too.

3) More RAM may be helpful.

If the above cannot fix your problem; please post more details for further diagnosis.
Thanks! I hope these can help you.
May God bless you!

I failed to mention that I an opening this file up through a dial up connection and getting this error, the file will open directly off the network fine not dialed up, and smaller files of this type will open through the dial up, these error files are around 50kb and will not open.
