Hi @Fred28450006ea4n

Sorry to hear about the trouble caused.

The error message "A drawing error has occurred" can occur when opening a PDF file in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

Regenerate the PDF file. If you use a third-party application or plug-in to generate the PDF file (for example, iText), ensure you have the latest version.

Please refer to the suggestion given here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-drawing-error-occurred-acrobat.html

Thanks,

Akanchha
