Although I am not sure how to reproduce this, it seems
Backtalk is generating broken PDFs; Acrobat 5 opens
them only after it has 'rebuilt' the page (message
dialog is too quickly gone to determine details).

Attached PDF is such a corrupted rendering.

    The problem is that every pass in the
    BookmarkDocTemplate.multiBuild method is written to
    REQUEST.RESPONSE or to a cStringIO.StringIO object. So there
    are two PDF documents (for 2 passes) in the file.

    The problem is only there if you generate a TOC (without the
    TOC only the build method is called and not multiBuild).

    multiBuild only functions if you supply a filename as an
    argument. I have a workaround for this. I will mail it.

    This might only happen when a TOC is generated, and may now
    be solved by a recent commit to PDFClass.py (thanks to a
    patch by Holger Hoffman).
