Bug Description
SOLUTION:
.......
This is now fixed for 3.1.90.
To fix broken documents run the following:
simple-scan --fix-pdf ~/Documents/*.pdf
.......
Binary package hint: simple-scan
A scanned document produces a pdf that can be opened correctly in evince.
When opening the same document using Adobe reader 9.4.2 2/11/2011 an error appears before the document is opened "The file is damaged but is being repaired". After this the document is opened and can be viewed as expected.
When reading the same document on an android mobile phone using adobe reader an error is displayed "the document cannot be opened because it is corrupted or damaged". The mobile version of Adobe reader is 10.0.1 build 37149. The mobile device is an HTC Desire running Android version 2.2.
The scanner is a Canon Pixma MP640 printer/scanner communicating with a laptop over a wifi network.
This problem happens whether I scan as a text document or colour on simple scan.

Hi,
Could you load the PDF into your version of Acrobat and then save it using File>Save and attach the file?
Also could you try the test.pdf I'm attaching to this report and see if it does the same thing?
I don't get the errors with Adobe reader 10.0.0
Thanks.
