The problem with garbled text in PDFs was something I found over a
year ago. At last years openoffice conference I found someone from the
KipperPippa team who was able to reproduce the problem on some other
app on Linux. This made it a lot easier to get the bug fixed.
Unfortunately I had to wait a long time before the branch was
integrated into the trunk.
I'll echo what eric has said.
If the problem occurs in 2.4.1 there may be a case for doing a bugfix
release of 2.4.3. If the problem no longer exists in the latest
developer release, there will be no action as bug has been fixed
already.

I have a problem with OS 10.5.5 opening PDFs or viewing folders

Confirmed. Would you please file an issue and attach the PDF
Document that causes the high cpu usage.

I haven't filed an issue yet.
a) I haven't figured out how to do it yet
Maybe you can start at
<http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/ooQA-ReportBugs.html>
b) I've done further investigating and the problem doesn't occur
with OO,o 3 created PDFs.
That are the good news.
The problem PDF's were created with the developer builds of OO.o
2.4 Aqua. The ones I have made with OO.o 3 work fine. A couple
made with 2.3.X11 open okay with Adobe Reader but have some
garbled text in Preview. They don't crash the system though. Old
ones from OO.o 2.0 to 2.3 Windows open. (I switched to Mac June
2007)
That's strange. I once had a similar problem reported and there was
the font replacing causing the garbage. Maybe it's the same for
you.
I was able to open folders containing the faulty files after
unchecking "Show icon preview" in the Finder View options. I then
discovered that it was only the 2.4 PDF's that were causing
problems, and was able to eliminate them after many system
lockups (had to reboot from external drive once when starting
computer locked up on three consecutive attempts)
I experienced the same with the one PDF that you uploaded as an
example. The whole system froze and after a reboot I used the
terminal to delete the PDF.
If you still want me to file an issue I will figure out how to do it.
I don't think so. 2.4.x Aqua previews are too long gone and the
code looks to be fixed when 3.0 PDFs work.

Eric
