Hi everyone, Whenever I have a big pdf file that I am trying to read via Adobe acrobat after couple of pages, sometimes 10 sometimes 100 Acrobat crashes. If I try to read the same file via XPDF everyting is fine Is this happening only in my case or is it common. How can I use the strace specific to acrobat to see what is happing . TIA -- Togan Muftuoglu

For 6.4, there's an Acrobat update in suse's ftp site; don't know for 7.0, but it may be worth checking. -- Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.4 -=- Kernel 2.4.0 -=- KDE 2.1.0-Beta1-0 6:40pm up 2 days, 18:21, 4 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.03

I am using 7.0 and I checked the ftp for any updates none is available. So how can I trace the fault ? -- Togan Muftuoglu
In the menu File->Preferences->General, disable the option "Use page cache", quit and restart to take effect. This seems to solve the problem especially if you are "tight" on memory (64M or less): When I turn on the option, it can use up to 150M for a 300 page document (memory leak?), as when it is off it might barely attain 16M. This also solves the "purple page" bug i have experienced. Else if it does not work, you might try the previous version (3.0?), which worked fine.
