Adobe Acrobat Reader becomes compute bound

[jon]

Sometimes, when I try to exit out of a PDF document from a web browser
(either IE or FireFox), the system hangs until I kill the Acrobat process.
Any idea what is going wrong, and how I can make Acrobat stop clobbering me?

Thanks!

Don't use Acrobat or use it stand alone. It almost never crashes standalone. Edit - Preferences - Options to choose.

Thanks, but Edit, Preferences, Options does not work in Acrobat 6. I
couldn't find anything like "standalone mode".

What other compatible readers are you aware of that will show PDFs on a
Windows machine?

Thanks!

I would think that if you unchecked the box in preferences that forces
Acrobat to be viewd in the browser would force it to stand-alone??

Version 5 is far superior to Ver 6. It usues terminology like Display in IE or something. I found it in 6 in 10 secs when I installed 6 (and reverted to 5 a day or two later as 6 is a DOG). Look on your menus.

No doubt that 6 is a total dog, and I'd love to download 5, but it's no
longer available from the Adobe site. Any thoughts?

Adobe Reader 5 came with a lot of install CDs for reading pdf
documentation.
