    Hello, has someone had the same problem when displaying some pdfs under morphos?. I begin opening the file perfectly, then in a moment the app seems to be freezed. I can move the pointer, but can't close or iconify the app, thus, not being available to kill the app via scout, so i'm forced to reboot the old way, using the power button.
    Is this a bug in apdf?. Will it be upgraded soon?.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Well i was about to edit the message when i read your reply. I was meant that i cannot move the mouse, so no possibilities to recover the system. Its a shame, as i have always viewed pdfs without problem until now.
    Well, seems that i need to boot into osx, sigh.

    As a stopgap you can alway try using OWB to display PDF files:

    This way you won't have to boot into another OS.
