I have been trying to create a minimal example. Now that's bad:
minimal example works OK with the same set of settings and same text.
It's only the 60-pages document that fails.

I'll send you the link, but it could just as well be that it's a bug in Acrobat.

How can I uncompress the files generated by Adobe?

I only wonder if it's a bug in ConTeXt or Acrobat ... If it was a
problem with maps or whatever, single-page example should have failed
already.

I'm fully aware of that :(
But I could think about that a few weeks ago.
