Ghostview fails to open this pdf as viewable:
http://www.qsl.net/ke5cty/reviews/icom728/arrlreview728_729.pdf

Anyone else seeing the problem?

I don't see another pdf viewer under PupGet or DotPup.

Thanks! doc

1.2 Meg is a pretty hefty file when you think about it. I am guessing that the file did not download correctly. Did you save it to disk first and try to poen it from there? With a high speed connection it takes me 6+ minutes to download.

Running 1.0.5rc, not only did that pdf link not open in Ghostview, it also crashed Mozilla! -- I was most surprised, Moz suddenly disappeared

I have found quite a few files that ghostview wont open usualy comes up with an error but doesnt crash, I have found that if your quickly and do a few pagedowns sometimes I can get past the section that it doesnt like. Adobe reads the files fine so its not corrupted.
