I've notice that Acrobat seems to crash a lot, especially when we are using Pitstop. I've tried adjusting memory settings, but this doesn't seem to help. Does anyone else seem to have this problem and are there any settings that can be adjusted to make it more stable?

fyi:
It seems to happen more often on the machines running OS 9.2.2 and Acrobat 5.0.

btw
Does anyone think that working in Acrobat 6 is almost like learning a whole new program? It's like walking into a store that you knew very well and everything has been rearranged.

I've never had any problem with acrobat and pitstop in 3 years. However I never ran it on Acrobat 5 except on the PC. I run it on Acrobat 4 on os9.22 and Acrobat 6 on OSX. Sounds unusual that you are having problems.

I feel the same way about Acrobat 6 pro. I mean they really changed it so much that it is totally confusing. Before...just hitting c brought up the crop tool. For the life of me right now I can't remember how to get to crop tool in 6. I think you have to go to advanced editing or something like that. How advanced is the crop tool for crying out loud????? Yeah, it's gonna take a long time to get used to 6. When you switch between versions you really don't want to have to think that hard!!!!

What's up with that Adobe??

Acrobat v5 was buggy. Make sure you apply
THIS UPDATE
I agree Acrobat 6 is a mess. I think Adobe tried to add to many features and dropped the ball with the old ones. I still can't find the text pallet that was in v4 and the edit image is also different. I do have PSP for v6 and with it I can get work done but sometimes it would be nice to be able to just use the native tools like in v4. More is not always better.

Yeah, it's funny but the only time I felt familiar with using Acrobat 6 was WHEN I installed pitstop! Finally something was familiar!!!!!!

Did you toss out your prefs on the apps- they might be shot. also when you adjusted Ram did you leave enough for the OS because if you didn't your other apps are going to crap out before the rOS does.
