Thanks for the great input.  I'm really stumped.  The pages are dynamically
generated.  If I simply save that as HTML and then run it through HTMLDOC;
no problem.  When I run it, generated on the fly, the page throws an error.
Even stranger, the page prints correctly with other data (HTML generated
from a mysql db) and even display correctly via HTMLDOC through another
(similar) application using the same database.

Does anyone know if there is an error log file in Acrobat?  The debug
message is pretty weak, ""the file is damaged and could not be repaired"

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
