Hi.
We use RS intensively in our app. However, we have had several reports from our customers, that they cannot open our pdf-files on their macintosh computers. I have investigated the problem, and found that this is due to a very simple omission in the rendered pdf.
Apparently the 1.3 specs requires a "carriage return" (char decimal value 13) after the %%EOF-element. If I add this manually, the files open just fine on mac.
Is this a known issue?
Is there some way to get around it, apart from adding it manually in the code?

(Note: There might be some pdf-readers for mac that can read these files, but we have no way of controlling our customers ap-selection.)
I was a little fast on the trigger there.
After manually adding the carriage return, they still do not open on mac. It only made some of the unix-tools we used for testing stop complaining (pdf2ps).
Are there any known issues with pdf-files from RS and Macintosh compatibility.
|||We found out, that if we installed Adobe Reader on the Mac, we could view our file.
So it's propably the internal (default) pdf-viewer, that doesn't understand the RS pdf format.
