Exported PDF files cannot be merged or inserted using third-party applications

Description

PDF files exported from ArcGIS 9.0 cause errors or unexpected results when they are merged, inserted, or manipulated by third-party applications. They display normally in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Cause

A defect in the exporter causes the stream length of compressed vector graphics to be incorrect, which causes some third-party applications to fail.
