 I am viewing the Nov/Dec issue using Document Viewer 2.28.1 on a Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit system with 6 Gbytes of RAM.  It all works well until I get to about the last 3-4 pages.  At that point when I try to scroll to the next page the viewer just closes.  I downloaded the PDF using the bypass wizard link and selected the Linux file under Standard Edition which worked well.  Is there a problem with the file or is it a user SW problem?  I have downloaded a second file which exhibits the same behavior at about page 145 or 146.

JB, If you click the 'index'

JB,

If you click the 'index' button on the nav bar (at the bottom of the magazine window), does it successfully jump directly to page 148 (the index page).

How about using the table of contents to go directly to Reverse Running on page 147?

Can you  scroll backward from the index page?

Have you tried reading MRH using Adobe Reader?

Jeff - you're our Unix/Linux guy ... can you duplicate the behavior JB is seeing?

Don't have Ubuntu, but...

I don't have an Ubuntu install, nor do I have Document Viewer, but I just opened, went to page 140 and paged to the end (usually using the viewers page buttons) of the issue under SuSE 11.0 using Adobe Reader, Okular, Evince (internal buttons didn't work) and X-PDF.

There certainly doesn't appear to be anything weird on page 145 or 146 that would do it - maybe Document Reader is reading ahead and stumbling on the Dashboard controls on page 148?

I'd recommend downloading and using Adobe Acrobat for Linux.

Document Viewer?

Okay, I went looking for a program named Document Viewer and couldn't find it. What I did find was that my version of Evince (which probably did the worst job of displaying MRH) is version 2.28.2.0-1.3 - so I'm guessing that's the program you are using. If so, based on my version number there is an update to Evince/Document Viewer out there for you.

Otherwise, I'd really have to recommend grabbing Adobe Reader. The newest version is 9.4 and can be downloaded from http://adobe.com/
