Incorrect structure PDF file

[Gravelines_stéphane@adobeforums.com]

Hello,
I'm french and not so good in English but I need help.
I prepare documentation and I add pages after pages. The followingstep is to add signet to go directly to the correct page. After this time, it is impossible for me to modify the file. Each time I want to erase a page or replace it, the windows opens and shows : "Structure de fichier PDF incorrecte" - Incorrect DPF file structure.
I don't know what I am to do ! because I don't find myself, and I have already search a lot.
Can you help me?

For english only contributors Signet means BookMark.

Stéphane,
Can you please provide a few details of OS, Acrobat version, applications used to create PDFs, how were the PDF pages created and perhaps an outline of what you're trying to do.

Are all the pages you're combining from the same source and created with exactly the same settings, or are they all from a wide variety of sources and applications?

How many original and added pages are there - for example 1 original page and 150 others added one by one?

Lastly if your stuck for a French/English word or expression show the French and your best guess at the English, and I'll provide an corrections needed.
Cheers
Ian

Hi, Ian
I work with Windows 98SE, Acrobat 5.0.5.26, and a scanner HP. The pages were scanned to have several small pdf files. I use "insert" or "remove" pages. All the pages come from the same source. I start with about 50 pages and I insert up to 200 pages, by 1, 2,...6 or another pdf file this signets. At this step, I still can do what I want.
But after adding the "signets", it becomes impossible to remove a page : Structure de fichier PDF incorrecte. It is still possible to add a pages, but not to remove it later.
Thank you for your help !
Kind Regards
Stéphane

Stephane,
I searched the forum for "incorrect file structure" and found this
Nathan Strong "Error when trying to delete pages" 9/24/03 7:48am </cgi-bin/webx?13@@.2ccd83c5/0>

The last post indicates that once this situation occurs that one way out of it is to redistill the badly structured document, replace the bookmarks, and continue the work on the file.

I would guess that Acrobat is running into difficulties tracking all the changes. After each series of changes try do a Save As, instead of a Save. The Save simply tacks on the changes to the end of the file. The Save As does a complete parse and rewrite of the file so this might avoid the bad structure problems.

Here's another Thread that may help, but not a lot:
GaryA "Combining Many PDF's to One PDF?" 8/13/03 9:27am </cgi-bin/webx?14@@.1dea5070/0>

Finally this thread offers the same solution; try to recreate the PDF by redistilling the whole file again and then replacing the bookmarks.

Finally the knowledge base has nothing about this problem.
Cheers
Ian

Cher Ian,
Thank you a lot for your help. It seems that my files are too poor in structure. I did like explain on the other conversation and it is a good issue for me. As Nathan, I "just" will have to re-write the bookmarks.

Kind Regards
Stéphane

PS: Et bonne chance dans la recherche d'un emploi !
Ne trouves-tu pas que les Parisiens sont "un peu" speed ?

[Ian_B...@adobeforums.com]

Pas seulement speed mais aussi socialement aggressives et impatients mais quand meme ca va si on n'attend pas des reactions intelligents.

Bon chance avec tes bookmarks.

Bonjour, le week-end fût-il bon ?
Je m'interesse un peu à Paris parceque je vais peut-être avoir une proposition de travail à Elopak, près de Versaille. Je connais un peu les environs: j'ai des amis à Melun, à Chelles et j'ai travaillé à IBM Corbeille-Essonnes. Mais je suis du type prudent, j'aime savoir d'avance où je met les pieds. Je sais seulement que ce coin est très cher, que ce soit immobilier ou coût de la vie.
Les gens du Nord sont tellement plus sympa, même si ils ne sont pas toujours très fute.
Ah ! Pariss!
Bonne continuation.
Kind Regards
Stéphane
