Blank PDFs in Linux with [acroread]<defunct> Adobe Reader 9.4

Aug 12, 2011 10:20 AM

I am having an issue on a SuSE 11 sp1 box where opening a pdf after closing one gives me a blank screen.

a ps -ef | grep acro* shows [acroread]<defunct> for the acroread process that was running.

 

I noticed that I can open & close as many as 20 pdfs from a web page with no problem.  Everytime I close one out I leave an additional acroread defunct process running.  I can do this all day long.

 

If I close out one & go to a different web page to open a pdf, I get the blank screen and the ps -ef | grep acro* never shows a process starting.

 

This is becoming a critical issue here.  The answer to just restart the browser every time is not gonna fly around here.

 

SuSE 11 v.1

Adobe Readler 9.4.2-1

Firefox 3.5.19

 

Any thoughts here?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
