Any have trouble with acroread taking up massive cpu and memory?
I exited my Firefox browser and the lil bastard was still hogging up my resources.
Took up 69% of 4GB, and wouldn't let go, until a kill -9 showed'em, have to do it every time I open a pdf in firefox.
Any use Xpdf or something else?
For .pdf files I have on my HD, I usually view them with KPDF, which is based on xpdf. One of several KDE applications I use, on GNOME. There is an Add On or Plug in, for viewing .pdf files on Firefox, PDFescape, which I have installed. I've only used it a couple of times but it seems to work.
