I'm using your library as part of an asp.net solution that fills data in on PDF forms and merges them into a big output PDF. So far, things have gone really well, but I've hit a bit of a snag.

See, I have a Pdfdocument object save itself into a MemoryStream object, and then I write that out to the client. That works well, and everything goes fine, except that Acrobat 7 doesn't seem to be able to open it. However, Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9 have no problems with it. ..Which is odd, considering that the input PDFs are all PDF version 1.4 (Acrobat 5) to get around not being able to handle iref streams Plus, Pdfsharp only appears to support PDF 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 anyway, so that starts to get really peculiar.

Do you guys have any idea what's up? We can probably get away with requiring Acrobat 8 or higher, but I have a feeling that I'm just missing something.

Thanks for any responses. :D

..Fixed my own problem, heh. Apparently, our code that streamed the file out corrupted it, and later versions of Acrobat were just able to fix it.

Well, anyways, thanks for a great PDF lib. =)
