Hello,

We use Bleubeam PDF Revu application in order to edit pdf files provided by customers.

We open orginal file in Bluebeam, copy part of the drawing and paste into new PDF generated in Bluebeam adding comment.  

After new PDF file is saved we can open it in Bluebeam also preview it in Google Chrome without error, .

Unfrtuantely sometimes when we open document in Adobe PDF Reader (both 11 and DC) it shows famous generic error dialog: "An error exists on this page....".

I ran into a similar issue. What I had done is reduced the lumosity through color processing. I opened the original document seperately brought all my new elements in via copy and paste without adjusting lumosity and the error no longer existed. Not sure if it is the same case with you, but this work around worked for me. Not optimal, but it relieved the issue.

This is usually a pretty good indication for a problem with the PDF file. If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can run a preflight check to list syntax errors in the PDF file. Just because other PDF viewers are not reporting this error, this does not mean that there is not a problem in the PDF file. Even Acrobat or the free Reader will fix certain errors behind the scenes.

In my opinion, software that silently ignores errors is actually doing you a disservice: You want to know that some of your application are creating corrupt PDF files, so that you can complain to the developers and have them fix the problem. If you save this file, and not touch it for five or ten years, who knows what software we will be using then to view and process PDF files, and what such an application will do with a corrupt PDF.

Hello Karl,

Unfortunately I have no access to Adobe Acrobat Pro.

I can provide you sample file if you can check it for me.

If you can share a file, you can upload it to Adobe's Document Cloud and then share the link here. See here for instructions: Share Documents via Adobe's Document Cloud

Because most people here on the Adobe Forums are volunteering their time, it may take a little until somebody can actually take a look at your file.
