Nov 18, 2009 13:17:29 I couldn't find the forum where this post would go, so the mods may move it if they deem necessary.

Anyway, I downloaded (two different ways) the November Errata update, the pdf file. However, every time I try to open it, I get the following error:

And then it opens, with dashed lines instead of text for powers, magic items, etc etc etc.

How in the Nine Hells can I fix this?

Is your Adobe reader current? In another thread, some people who were having this problem said it went away when they updated Adobe.

If you are comfortable with sharing your email addy, PM me your email address, and I will send you a copy of the pdf that I downloaded and can confirm works on my computer.

It's also free
