yeah - exact details on the observed failures and issues would be very
much appreciated. We made some refinements to the way we build and
"optimize" the pdfs recently mostly to optimized the quality and the
size of the files, and while we did extensive testing on a variety of
platforms and pdf viewers there might still be some odd platforms that
behave differently.
