HTMLDOC is a great app but it could be many things. Did your HTML  
change? Is the HTML for the PDF generated dynamically? If so, perhaps  
someone entered a strange character or something else that is  
creating the bad PDF. Have you checked the HTMLDOC forums?

http://htmldoc.org/

Does it generate some pages correctly and not others? I usually have  
to work it down until I can find a hanging white space or stray tag  
that is problematic. Does the PDF open in any other reader? The  
encryption might be causing an issue, are you using that? Best bet is  
to try to recreate the error in a controlled environment, ie. simple  
HTML.

Good Luck
