The resulting PDF output
Hello, resulting PDF file is correct: I can read it using either mupdf or evince (and I see all the text there, not only the header). So this is acroread bug. Since this package is proprietary and binary only, I really doubt Gentoo devs will be able to help you here aside from version bump. Please report this bug upstream and/or switch to another PDF viewer.

The problem is only, if I send such a PDF file to MS-Windows users, they can't read it. If I open this file with inkscape, and then save it from inkscape again as PDf, the resulting file is also correctly shown by acroread. So maybe abiword is producing correct PDF files, but if the resulting PDF files are not portable and not read by the standard Adobe Reader, they are not very usefull.

PDF file read and saved by inkscape.
how are you generating that pdf file? I cannot reproduce this when simply saving your original file as a .pdf from Save As abiword dialog (I am running latest stable versions for abiword and acroread) removed |
Created attachment 398298 [details] Abiword example file If I print as PDF file the attached Abiword file, the resulting PDF file is read incompletely by acroread. Also with Adobe Reader under MS-Windwo. Only the header addresses and date is shown but not the remaining contents of the letter. Evince, okular, inkscape, inkscape etc do not have problems to show the complete contents. Is this a abiword or a acroread problem?
