Both of your attached pdf's were missing the required fonts to display the
content on this locale=en machine, as the latest acroread for linux (7.05)
advised me about both, and the second one, while it did display the cover
page in english at a scale far larger than my 1600x1200 screen, it
actually locked up X and I had to reboot. I thought I had enough fonts
here to cover everything too. :(
