[QCWA] PDF Reader problems - Another solution

[W1EOF]

Very true regarding being VERY careful about what's checked and not checked.

There *is* an alternative to Adobe Reader by the way. I use it on my
computers
and it's free. It's called the Foxit Reader. You can get it at
www.foxitsoftware.com
No nag screens or any other limitation as far as I can see. I have not run
into a
file it did not handle either. Seems faster to load.
