That's extremely odd. Can you send a sample PDF file (along with the source
code) for us to inspect it? I'm using Mac OS 10.5 on Intel, so I'd like to
confirm the behaviour you report.

That really doesn't make sense at all. Sounds like a problem with the Apple
code analyzing the PDF file, but I've never observed such a bizarre behaviour
myself, and I use mostly Preview on the Mac to view PDFs.
