I recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 7.0.7. I can still read documents on the web and older .pdf files that I have saved. However, there is one serious problem. Many problems present a graphic image, or figure, with captions, and the captions no longer appear properly. Instead of being able to read them, I see a series of extended European letters (the letters with the odd symbols running through them.) For instance, in this document (Primer of Quantum Theory) there is a lot of gobbledygook above the graphs on page 5, yet I know that it is really SUPPOSED to say "combination of two sine waves" But it doesn't show this. I get some unreadable extended character set. http://www.chem1.com/acad/pdf/quantum.pdf Interestingly, when I copy this unreadable nonsense and paste it into this simple text window, the correct sentence appears! So Adobe Reader 7.0.7 is *almost* correctly reading the document, but in some cases it can't figure out how to display the captions. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I really need this to work. Thanks, Robert
