Bill,
My first impression is that when you did the copy and paste from the PDF into the INF file, you had one or more line breaks, in the wrong place, since when pasting into Notepad, it appears there, exactly as it does in the PDF file.
The instructions say to make sure there are no page breaks, but it doesn't warn about line wraps, and virtually every line in the sections to be copied is wrapped. So, unless you went through and "un-wrapped" each and every line, this is likely your problem.
