[matplotlib-devel] error with basemap and pdf

I have attached a PDF created with matplotib/basemap.  On my mac,  
Preview opens this file without any errors.  However, Adobe Acrobat  
9.2.0 (Mac) reports this error:

"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page  
correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to  
correct the problem."

It then goes ahead and displays the image correctly.

I have found similar issues with Illustrator, and older versions of  
Acrobat Professional where those pieces of software are unable to open  
the PDF at all.

The only free software I could find to validate PDFs (http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/index.html 
) has no complaints about this file.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing these errors to  
(sometimes) occur?

Info:
matplotlib: 0.99.0
basemap: 0.99.4

The code that created the PDF is below:
