I have used Foxit reader for some time & have been very pleased with it. I use it to fill in forms as my handwriting has degraded over time. I scan the forms & save them as a pdf file and use Foxit reader to fill in the required information. I upgraded to Version 2.0 build 1414 and now I can't open the forms I have previously filled in. I get the dialog box asking if I want to send the error info to Microsoft & then it shuts down Foxit reader.

I can open them using Adobe 7.0 but a dialog box comes up saying"The font 'Times-RomanBold' contains a bad /BBox". Also the information I filled in using Foxit reader does not display properly in Adobe.

Hi,

Seems like your file is damaged or something. I think you can try a utility called Advanced PDF Repair to repair your PDF file. It works rather well for my corrupt PDF files. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/

Hope this helps.
