PDF Import Bug

[MarcT]

Hi, This has been puzzling me for a while but I couldn't quite narrow the causes.
PDF file is generated by Illustrator

If no file are opened, the PDF opens fine.
When certain files are opened, opening the PDF afterward will jam the graphic renderer in Designer Pro7.

I have found a xar file that will cause this behavior and another that won't.
Attached are:

TestFile.PDF
YesBug.xar - With this one opened the bug occurs
Nobug.xar - With this one opened it's ok

The steps to reproduce the bug:
-Open YesBug
-Open TestFile.pdf (Either by dialog or dragging the file next to a tab)

Thanks and happy holidays to everyone!

I use Designer Pro 6 but tried it anyway to see what would happen. All opened OK in any combination, no lockups.

Thanks for trying Jim, maybe it's a thing with version 7 or my hardware.

And what I mean by "jam the graphic renderer" is that all the graphic area turns white, the program remains all there and I can see the scroll bars moving if I attempt to zoom in or out. I also can save my work.

Having either XAR file--and both at once--I can open the PDF in XDP7 just fine. I can insert it to either XAR file just fine.

Merry Christmas.

Take care, Mike

Thanks for trying this Mike, it does happens several times a day for me.

I'm using windows 7 64.

Hi Marc--I have other issues, but not that one...

I too am using Win7 64-bit.

Take care, Mike
