      PDF is a strange bird. It's a so-called "open standard," but Adobe retains control over who can use it and what they can do with it. Sounds like they need to visit GNU or something. Never send a human to do a machine's job Agent Smith

        I'm glad. Adobe has been unable to produce a simple stable PDF reader, and as far as I know they didn't really open the standard to allow other full-readers to me written. All version of Acrobat Reader I've tested had bugs. Even the current Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 has a critial resource leak which causes Windows to crash. I reported it about a week ago but hasn't been fixed yet, but I had to reboot my PC several times: Here's how you can check it: 1 - Save all opened documents. 2 - Open Task manager. Show column GDI Objects. 3 - Open a PDF File in Acrobat Reader. Select File->Print. 4 - Move the page cursor from one page to another several times. 5 - In the task manager you can see how GDI Objects are allocated and never released. 6 - After a while, Windows is left out of resources and system crashes.
