Acrobat Reader 7 definitely has some issues. Sometimes it uses up my whole 1 GB of swap space for a small document, which is a serious problem. I suggest declaring 7 as experimental (maybe via 'install()') and splitting up the 'acroread' package into something like 'acroread5' and 'acroread7'.
This task depends upon

Note: this *may* only surface with the browser plugin (I was using Opera), but IIRC it also went bonkers with only the standalone executable running.

Yeah; you can thank Adobe for the fantastic programming... other than that, I think our hands our tied. As this is closed source and all. I'll update it to 7.0.1, maybe that will help.

For now, I'd like to stay away from adobe7 and 5, but I've not closed that door yet, we'll see how things go..

Thanks
