I have run into this problem before, curiously enough with a shop manual on disc for one of my other collector cars! It that case it will only open with Adobe Acrobat Version 4.0. Any newer version won't work! Fortunately, the disc's publisher had the presence of mind to install Acrobat Reader 4.0 on the disc to make things a little easier!

Bob,

The CD I received pretty clearly says it is for a PC running Windows 98 or
newer. However, the PDF files on it are Adobe Acrobat 6.0 compatible. I
don't know whether Adobe changed the file formats, but I have no trouble
opening them with any version.

Cheers,
Lew

The MG Pre-War Models, 1928 to 1939, CD-ROM being advertised by the
Heritage Motor Centre is said to be in .pdf format - its is not !

It should open on a Mac or a PC but it won't open on a Mac. It won't
even open on a Mac running Virtual PC, but will open on a PC running
Windows. (Bill Gates strikes again.) As far as we can judge it is in
some sort of .pdf format, but not the version marketed by Adobe.

Cheers, "Bob".
