Hello!
This time, I'm not 100% sure, if it's texlive problem, but it seems so,
because compiling my old sources, which were working very well with
other tex distributions, fails now too.
I have the newest texlive2008 (installed on monday) with almost all [1]
the updates (installed today), running under WinXP. When I try to
include any pdf image via \includegraphics{} (and graphicx package) I
get an error:
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex.exe (file ./images/overview.pdf): xpdf: reading
PDF image failed
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Here the list of files of my minimal working example:
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.8-beta-20080506 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(format=pdflatex 2008.5.26) 30 MAY 2008 14:50
*File List*
article.cls 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX document class
size10.clo 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX file (size option)
graphicx.sty 1999/02/16 v1.0f Enhanced LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR)
keyval.sty 1999/03/16 v1.13 key=value parser (DPC)
graphics.sty 2006/02/20 v1.0o Standard LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR)
trig.sty 1999/03/16 v1.09 sin cos tan (DPC)
graphics.cfg 2007/01/18 v1.5 graphics configuration of teTeX/TeXLive
pdftex.def 2007/12/04 v0.04i Graphics/color for pdfTeX
supp-pdf.tex
***********
And the minimal example itself:
%\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{image} % you need any correct pdf image
\end{document}
I have no idea, were the problem is, since this error message is not
really helpful. But I'm almost sure, it's a problem with some part of
the tex distribution (pdflatex? graphicx?)
While answering to this e-mail, please add me to CC, since I'm not
[yet...] a subscriber to the list.

[1] I wasn't able to update bin-texlive and texlive-infra:
"We cannot upgrade bin-texlive on win32, since we are running it!"
I didn't find any hint, HOW to upgrade those packages "not running
them". It would be great, if you could write such a hint in this error
message.
