Random links in pdf don't work, but only on RHEL 5

Hi, Robert.

There may well be _some_ readable text inside a PDF file, but the file is binary for sure - most of it will be unreadable in that regard.

If you edit a PDF file with a standard ASCII text editor and save the file, it _may_ get quite corrupted (for example, if the editor adds life feeds or carriage returns at awkward place). This will usually prevent the file from being usable in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader (or any PDF reader) after that.
