Hi Harry,

I know I've read about more people having pdf related problems in the
comments on the blog posts for the various beta builds and the RC's that
have come out recently. As Finnigann mentions, everything worked fine in
9.xx and 10.00/02, it's the 10.5x versions that have been causing problems.
I use Foxit Reader and it worked before 10.50, didn't work after that, even
uninstalling Foxit and installing a newer version to see if it was Foxit
causing it to crash.

I won't try Adobe as I've never liked its attempts to take over everything
(ie. all the hidden update programs set to run at start-up). If it worked
before 10.5x then it's a problem with Opera's handling of pdf files. I now
just changed it to always open in the external program, but it still doesn't
fix the underlying problem.

Regards,
David.
