Hi, I am trying V8 and having problems in importing some files. For example, in the documentation we find about the command *Import* - Import content from password-protected PDF files. - <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Import.html> Import and <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Export.html> Export support PDF Version 1.5 and *earlier*. - <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Import.html> Import["file.pdf"] converts the pages of a PDF file to Mathematica vector graphics. - <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Import.html> Import["file.pdf"] imports a PDF file, returning all pages as a list of graphics. The following, however, does not work in Version 8 /Trial (it renders *$Failed*) but the same construct does work in version 7.01. Module[{fullfilename, filename = "Marshalian-Walrasian = Equilibrium.pdf" }, fullfilename = FileNameJoin[{NotebookDirectory[],filename}]; pdffile =Import[fullfilename]] The construct, anyway, works for other files in V8. "Marshalian-Walrasian Equilibrium.pdf" is a version 1.3 PDF file (password-protected, as I think), but according to WRI, PDF files version 1.5 and *earlier*, are supported. I am also having problems in importing my own MS *.rtf files (Office 2003) although I am able to import my own *.xls files made with office 2003 too. Any help? E.
