Hi,

A quick Google search on the Web for the string:

  "The page contents object has the wrong type"

reveals that this is a common problem in
Acrobat 5.0. It seems that this version is
more strict in error checking, and previous
PDF generators are somewhat relax on the
rules about the content allowed in a blank
page.

The messages indicate that the online converter
from PS to PDF does not produce this error.

Sounds like our Linux box is getting scheduled
for a ghostscript upgrade....

BTW, this anoying error doesn't prevent from passing
the page..., so don't hesitate to click on the "ok"
button and continue...

You can also use "gv" to view the PDF, the error
doesn't appear in this case.



We'll get distiller versions as soon as possible.


Our apologies,



    Luis
