Sure? I get:

! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
<*> \input{conv SDEN 2005.tex}

Which seems to indicate that it tries to interpret the filename as
