Sandy,

You know, I just have not had that problem with Acrobat 3.0 for OS/2. In
fact, once I brought home an *.PDF file from work. My Win Acrobat 4.0 at
work could not display all of it. No problems here at home, with 3.0 for
OS/2

I also have Ghostview. I use it to read and print *.EPS, *.PS and *.PDF
files. It's a bit slower, especially in its "Find" facility (that's the
biggest problem for me). Ohter than that, it works well.
