I`m trying to make a PDF file from Scans with fxSCAN v4.05.
A good while ago it worked - but now I always get the error message
"Error: XObject `Im0` is wrong type"
each time I try to open the generated PDF with APDF.
I tried with source images in JPG and IFF - the result being the same.
I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what could be going wrong - someone got an idea?
Or do you have other suggestions how to create PDFs other than using fxSCAN (on an Amiga 4000 PPC with OS3.9/WarpOS16.1)?
:-?

Most likely a limitation of APDF - it only supports absolutely ancient PDF formats (v1.3?). Try opening it on another system.

Hmmmm - I just did a test with just 3 scanned pages.
Converting to PDF with fxSCAN did not produce any error messages.
Tried to open the PDF with APDF and got the error message:
"Error: XObject `Im0` is wrong type"
Tried to open the test.pdf on my XP-PC with Acrobat reader and got these error messages:
1) "An error occured while processing a page. A problem occured while reading this document (20)."
2) "A problem occured while reading this document (20)."

Hmm, okay. Not an APDF problem :)
Not sure what's wrong. Is fxScan correctly installed? A lot of its functionality is distributed across a few different modules - maybe one of them is missing/wrong processor version.

fxSCAN should be installed properly. I created usable PDFs in the past. As I wrote - there were no error messages from fxSCAN while creating the PDF.
Its just that I cannot open the PDF...
I edited the test.pdf, but cannot see any obvious errors:
