Works for me in SM 2.04 under Windows XP with 4GB RAM, with a caveat noted below. Right-click and Save Link As on the View link by each project saves a PDF locally. Attempting to open it in SeaMonkey invokes Acrobat Reader to display the PDF. One thing you might try is a configuration change in Acrobat Reader. Invoke Acrobat Reader, select Edit/Preferences, and in the Internet page *uncheck* "Display PDF in browser". Normally, the browser attepts to call Acrobat Reader as a plugin, and displays the PDF in a tab. Unchecking that option in Reader makes it open in a new window as a separate external process. I formed this habit years back to work around a bug in Acrobat - if it was called as a plugin from the browser, the Acrobat process remained in memory, even *after* closing the browser. It's possible Acrobat Reader no longer has that annoying behavior, but I've felt no need to change back to the default behavior. Do that and I think it will fix your crash problem. > vampire13 ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
