you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

Best Answer
I get the same error with MikTeX 2.9, WinEdt 7 on Win 7. There is an undefined char (german umlaut?) in the
pdfauthor
property. If you remove/replace this character LaTeX runs until the\newtheorem{example}{Example}
definition. Here one get the error that\example
is already defined. Rename it and LaTeX compiles the whole document.
