Troubleshooting:
Some photos/images are missing on my PDF file:

I can only see blank pages on my PDF file:
We tested our application with hundreds of PDF files without any problems but we
recently found some rare cases in which the pictures will not show on the application,
our developers were able to identify the problem and is related to the JPEG2000 image
compression. This compression is used in some PDF files and this type of compression
is not currently supported by the iPad OS, we already notified Apple about this issue.
If you have a Mac computer, there is an easy way to fix this issue, open the PDF file
using preview on your Mac, go to the file menu and select "Save As", and save the file
as a new PDF, the new PDF file will work fine with our application and with any other
iPad application that supports PDF files.
I can only see scrambled text:
This problem is related to the iPad operating system, for some reason it doesn't
correctly decode some particular fonts, showing a scrambled text. We already notified
Apple about this issue.
