    I recently converted my company's software manuals from FrameMaker to
    XEP, but the PDFs generated by XEP are causing an "Object label badly
    formatted" error when viewed using the Adobe Reader 6.0.1 browser
    plugin.

    I know about the user workarounds (saving the file to disk, turning off
    the "Allow fast web view" option), but I really want to solve the
    problem from my end so that customers don't have to be bothered.

    Adobe claims that this problem is caused by web server problems, but I
    don't think that's true in this case, because PDF documents generated
    by FrameMaker work fine.

    I'm using XEP 3.7.7 with this Ant command to generate the PDFs:

           <xep in="fo/AdviceBook@{platform}.fo"
                out="pdf/AdviceBook@{platform}.pdf"
                overwrite="false"
                format="PDF">
             <classpath refid="xep-classpath"/>
             <sysproperty key="com.renderx.xep.ROOT"
    value="/Users/samalone/XEP"/>
             <sysproperty key="com.renderx.xep.FONTLIST"
                        value="/Projects/Life Balance/Documentation/pdf/fonts.xml"/>
             <sysproperty key="com.renderx.xep.LINEARIZE" value="true"/>
           </xep>

    The resulting PDFs are available from my company's web site:

            http://www.llamagraphics.com/resources/documentation/index.html

    Any ideas what's causing this problem or how to fix it?
