Summary:                    pdflatex doesn't seem to recognize .tex document
Description: 
When trying to open a .tex file with pdflatex we are getting an error
message. It looks like pdflatex doesn't recognize the .tex file, because it
says that "\begin{document}" is missing. This is however not true. This is
an excerpt from the tex document:

\setlength{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}
\setlength{\footrulewidth}{0.0pt}
\begin{document}
\parbox[t]{9cm}{{\bf To:} \parbox[t]{8.0cm} {

Here is how we execute pdflatex:

pdflatex -halt-on-error -interaction batchmode <fullFilename>

Can you provide a minimal but self sufficient source file to reproduce and
analyze the issue?
