I generated a PDF output file of 10 plots. When I try to view it with
Adobe reader (R4 & R5), it will lockup the reader (it is consuming 100% of
the CPU) after presenting the 4th plot. I can generate the plots just fine
in Windows and as a postscript file reading it with GSview.
Is there anyway to tell what might be wrong with the PDF output? The file
is 890KB in size if anyone would like to look at it. The postscript file
is 783KB in size.
I was able to isolate it to a single plot in a PDF file and it had 38,000
lines of the following that composed 99% of the file: (I was plotting out
individual events, which were about that many)
86.66 88.67 m
86.66 92.81 l
86.66 96.95 l

I don't know of such a bug. Can you provide a simple example that (re)produces such a plot that "lockups" Acrobat Reader? I guess it just needs a huge amount of time for calculations, but I might be wrong ... Uwe Ligges
