Friends,
Thank you so much for providing this service. I really appreciate it.
I downloaded the Swedish and the Finnish course pdfs the other day.
The Swedish one works fine with the 9.3 version of Acrobat but it crashes when I open the Finnish document.
It happens on both Vista and Xp. As far as I know both computers are updated in all respects.
I would greatly appreciate some help.
Best wishes
Rolf

Rolf, I don't know what the problem might be with the Finnish course text; I just downloaded it myself and it worked fine for me with Foxit Reader. If you look just below in the Russian FAST discussion, there was a similar problem with that course in Acrobat, but it worked fine when the person tried it with Foxit.
So as a quick and easy remedy, I'd advise you to download Foxit Reader (free, and a very small download) and give it a shot with that. If you search for online comments on it, you'll see that most people seem to have quite good luck with it. (For the record, I have nothing to do with Foxit, other than recommending it twice now in the past couple of days, but my experience, and that of my wife, have been so positive over the past couple of years that we've been using it that I recommend it to everyone whenever the subject comes up. I earlier had problems with Acrobat, which was slow with big documents, and would often crash, but Foxit has been a delight to use, much faster and more stable.)
I don't like to sound like a commercial, but I'd suggest you read about it a bit and give it a try; if it doesn't work, maybe VagabondPilgrim will have some suggestions, but I'd try Foxit first.
In any event, good luck.
