I have tested your file with the Foxit reader (which is the one you mentioned

in your PM) from

http://downloads.foxitsoftware.com/foxitreader/FoxitReader23_setup.exe

It loads your file just fine, and turning the mouse wheel scrolls

up and down. No crash so far.

You wrote "certain Readers" (plural) - can you name others that crash?

1. I assume something is different in these Eagle PDFs, when I found the

problem I was able to open all other files I tried.

2. The crash occurred with an earlier version of Foxit Reader. In a try to

fix things I upgraded to the newest version which did not help at that time.

I tried again today (because Foxit asked for this PDF), but to my surprise

everything went fine. I assume because the PC rebooted in the meantime.

3. Foxit received the file in question. I have asked them to notify me if

they find anything unusual in the file. If so, I will come back to you.

I remember I had problems with Acrobat which I got rid of in the meantime.

The entire installation was ~200MB before I removed it. This thing became

way too slow for my taste, and made some trouble when opening PDFs (went

stuck quite frequently so I had to kill the task) -- but I'm very sorry,

since I wiped Adobe off the system I cannot tell which Eagle generated files

were affected.
