PDF corrupted in VSS 2005   

We have found, after installing VSS 2005, that our .pdf files get corrupted 
when moving them into VSS.

If you try to open them directly from or VSS (view or edit) or Get Latest 
and open them on your local machine, they are corrupted.

I get the error message:

An unrecognized token '0.0r' was found.

We have no problems with any other type of files.

We get the same error if we try to open the file using an older version of 
VSS with these files.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Tom

It sounds like VSS is mistaking the pdf file as a text instead of a binary 
file and performing line end conversions.

Run the Visual SourceSafe Administrator program, Select "Tools, Options...", 
"File Types" tab, and make sure "*.pdf" is added to the list of binary 
files.

Hope that helps,
Mark

You may not have seen my previous post:

    file and performing line end conversions.

    Run the Visual SourceSafe Administrator program, Select "Tools, 
Options...",
    "File Types" tab, and make sure "*.pdf" is added to the list of binary
    files.

Hi,

If you need to recover the pdf file, you may try Advanced PDF Repair
at http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/ This tool is rather useful in
salvaging damaged PDF documents.
