    Question Adobe Reader "A drawing error has occurred"

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a weird problem that I have not found an answer for on the Internet. We have a user running WinXP SP2 and using Adobe Reader 7.0.5. When he tries to open most .pdf files he gets an error to the effect "A drawing error has occurred". There are other people at that office with the same version of Adobe Reader and they can open the same files without error. No matter who is logged onto his computer the error still happens. I have been able to open the same files myself with Adobe Reader 7.0.7, and so have a couple of other people at our location. When on his computer you open Adobe Reader and go to Edit>Preferences>General and in the "Selection" area where it says "Text Selection Margin" and "Column Selection Margin" the pixel size in the text box is 1.#J and -1.#J respectively. You can try to change these settings and they will not save. Does anyone know how to get rid of this drawing error? Thanks in advance to all who reply.

    I'd download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader.
