PDF-Export Format not readable for non-windows users

Hi NG,
i received the following mail today:
<snipp>
May be the reason is that I didn't read
this file with the Acroreader version 7.0 which is the latest available
for Windows. Please take into account that not everybody lives in a
Microsoft world: The latest available Acroreader under Linux is version
5! So I kindly request a readable version of my personal pdf-statement
P.S.: A closer analysis of the pdf file shows this error message:
**** This file has a corrupted %%EOF marker, or garbage after the %%EOF.
**** The file was produced by Microsoft Rptg Srvcs PDF Rendering
Extension 8. 0:
**** please notify the author of this software
**** that the file does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
</snipp>
My question:
Does the hotfix from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885444/en-us
fix my problems?
I got the beta SP2 already here, but the production environment is german so
i couldn't install the sp2 there.
Brian?
regards
FrankDear "Frank",
are you running SP1 now?

Password Required on Open of Linked Access mdb file

Any help would be great. I have an mdb file that is linked
to a table on my SQL Server which resides on a corporate
Web Server. I have a non-Windows Authenticated username
and password to the SQL Server database, so I have to
enter the password everytime I open the Access database
that links to the SQL Server. Is there anywhere to store
my password so that I can bypass having to enter it
everytime I open a linked mdb? Thanks!That information is stored in the tabledef properties of the linked
tables. One solution to this problem is to write code when the
application starts up. The code creates new tabledef objects,
supplying the user name and password (which you can collect from a
form). When the application shuts down, delete the tabledef objects.
This way security information persists only for the life of the
application instead of being permanently cached with the linked
tables.
