There will be a PDF version of the 2.6 Zope Book... it may not cause Acrobat to lose its mind. ;-) It will likely be created out of the BackTalk PDF generation facility (the 2.5 Zope Book PDF was created, IIRC, out of html2ps). Hopefully Acrobat won't barf on it.

Because, as I noted, it only happens with that file. That doesn't mean acrobat is not buggy but it does mean that file is special, special in a bad way.
I'm sure both components are in error in some way but I'm not likely to have much influence with Adobe.
BTW, it's not the Reader I'm talking about here. I have Reader installed, sure, but it's Acrobat (sans 'Reader') that most likely adds the PDF Properties tab. That's why I imagine very few other folks have seen this.

How is this a bug in the book and not in your version of Acrobat? The sins of the data should never be visited on the reader. ;-)

I've got a very strange problem with the PDF version of the Zope Book under Windows 2k. If I right click on it and select properties, the properties dialog never appears. Instead the explorer starts sucking down all my CPU cycles.
This only happens with this book. The Admin guide shows its properties just fine.
I have Acrobat installed, which seems to supply explorer with a PDF Properties tab under the standard properties tab. I'm guessing the ZB PDF is malformed in some slight way and the PDF Property pane freaks out.
Is anyone else seeing this? Can it be isolated and fixed for the 2.6 book release (assuming it's not just me)?
