Yeah, but the words are those in the document that links to the PDF, not the PDF itself. You're still looking at the wrong section of the debugging output. When htdig encounters links to other documents, all it does is queue them up for later retrieval. That's what those "pushing" messages were all about. When it actually pops one of these URLs off the queue and fetches the document may be quite a lot later, depending on how much was in the queue already. Find the part where htdig actually fetches a PDF, and then look to see what it does after that. Even if acroread isn't segfaulting, there may be other clues there. > Gilles Detillieux wrote: > > According to Curtis J.

What version of acroread do you have? Does it work to convert some of your PDFs to PostScript? E.g.: "acroread -toPostScript wsipc.pdf" -- Gilles R.
