[Edwin van den Oetelaar <oetelaar.automatisering@xxxxxxxxx>]

You are the man.
I viewed it with xpdf, imported it in gimp and Adbobe-Reader-9.
It works.
Things I notice :
1) yellow and light blue text is not readable (could be my eyes need
more contrast)
2) adobe says 'document assembly' not allowed... Is this important?

Keep going man.
Respect,
Edwin
