See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/012867.html > * If it's not possible to make the PDF file created by TeX more > robust, how can I contact Adobe in order to file a bug report? Be happy that Acrobat doesn't crash ;) Snow Leopard kept crashing on my files, even if I only wanted to attach them in my emails. It's not the same company, but I submitted a bug report about rendering of smooth shading to Apple around 2007. Last month they replied me for the first time, saying that I should upgrade to 10.7.<latest> which probably fixes the bug. Of course it doesn't (except that Lion now doesn't crash, but it still renders patterns in the wrong way). Mojca
