Phoenix, Acrobat and Windows

Post by David James »

I quietly installed Phoenix on a computer in the economics computer lab a little while ago (and, as best I can tell, some people are using it because not all the websites in the history are ones I've been to). Anyway, use of Page Up and Page Down seems to be broken in Acrobat with Phoenix. It works with Netscape 4 and it works in Linux here at home but not with Windows. Odd. I think it was Acrobat 4.0 and I seem to recall it working with 5.0 on a different computer. Still weird though as the latest Linux version is 4.0.

So is anyone else seeing this?

Acrobat 5.0 page up/down works in Phoenix 0.4 on Win98

I just tried it on my Win98 system with Acrobat Reader 5.0 on Phoenix 0.4 and it worked fine, so....

That's right... at home I use Linux with Acrobat 4.0, where Page Up and Page Down work. The computers in the lab are all Win98, three of which (of 14) now have Phoenix on them courtesy of me :). The one I was using today had Acrobat 4.0, which did not work. At some point in the past, I used one of the other 3 (obviously) and I don't recall it not working, and I think it had 5.0 rather than 4.0. So the problem I think lies with Phoenix, Win98 and Acrobat 4.0. Netscape 4.7, Win98 and Acrobat 4.0 works though. Perhaps I should just upgrade the lab's computers to Acrobat 5.0 as I use them...
