Re: [foxboro] Acrobat reader problem - Try XPDF

Hi,

The problem is based to the color memory map of the system.
The Foxboro Display manager or (Foxview) allocates the first color numbers
and replaces them with the Foxboro color panel.

If you are looking for just a basic PFD viewer without any fancy things try
the open source XPDF.
I'm sure you'll get better results.

Martin,
    We had a somewhat similar problem with Acrobat Reader colors on our
AW51's.  It occurred when we launched Netscape first, and then picked on
a pdf pick, which then launched Acrobat.  As it turned out, Netscape
grabbed all the remaining colors, so Acrobat didn't have much left to
work with.  To fix the problem, we made up a Netscape startup script
that launches Acrobat first.  This fixed the color problem for us.

Hope this helps.

following problem. The installation works fine but when I run it, the
background colors (dark green) of the reader blink (on an AW51D). I tried
changing the "visual id" option on startup, but the other color schemes are
even worse. On an AW51G the colors don't blink but it doesn't look good
either. At least in this case the visual id for b&w (0x24) seems to work.
Has anyone run into this problem before?
