Re: showcase on mac?

[Willi Egger <w.egger@boede.nl>]

Hi,

This is strange. I use also the 8.1.2 version of Acrobat Reader on a  
MAC with OS 10.4. I have precisely the same problems als Frans  
mentioned. - I now realize that I encountered this already a longer  
time ago, but due to the fact that I download manuals directly from  
the tree, I forgot this.

Kind regards

Willi
