I suspect it depends on the .pdf file. Some files open just fine with
Adobe Acrobat, but many have that "color space" error and a bunch of black
boxes.

Since I installed (and registered) GSview, I have not had any problems. I
used Tony's suggestions (from SCOUG web site) and got it to work with both
Netscape and Mozilla.

Like Steven, I haven't done a major reinstall of OS/2 since 1997. Every
time I think I am going to have to give it up because of a program like
Acrobat Reader 3.0, along comes something else I can use. Hopefully, that
will continue to be the case.
