>I had a pdf file that neither Acrobat Pro nor Preview would open
>because it claimed it was corrupt. After panicking, I decided to try
>various other applications, just to see what would happen.
>
>I opened Get Info and just started down the list of identified programs.
>
>All of the following were listed as apps to open the pdf.
>
>AppleWorks simply stood mute
>ColorSync Utility did not work [but then, why would it?]
>Graphic Converter complained and did nothing
>OmniPage Pro claimed inability
>Pages said no go
>QuickTime said it wasn't a movie
>Safari wouldn't bother because it did not start with "%PDF", whatever
>that means!
>Text Edit said go away
>Word just laughed
>
>The only winner: NeoOffice opened up the pdf as a Word document
>quickly and easily. Everything was there, even the formatting of a
>table was translated!
>
>Hooray!!
