RE: Corrupt PDFs?

Brian,

Are you sure that the files in VSS are OK? Remember, PDF is not only Portable Document Format, but also Package Definition Files for Microsoft's SMS... which if I recall correctly are textual in nature.

Regards,
Richard

That won't cause corruption, unless you've set 'svn:eol-style' or 'svn:keywords' properties on the file. If you haven't done those things, then svn will *never* change the contents of files. Unlike CVS, svn assumes that all file contents are opaque strings of bytes.

So... you'll need to come up with a new hypothesis. And more details.
