Hi Christian,
	X has a bug when running in 24bit mode which acrobat hits on which can
give those symptoms.  The advice is to run in 16 or 32 bit mode - in my
case 32 bits is mapped to 24bits by the driver, leaving me with yukky 16bit
if I want to use acrobat!  I dont believe any of the apps suggested  can
handle password protected pdf's (which can give different and odd symptoms
when confronted by one, rarely even sayings its protected, often gives a
black page and the app disappears if any manipulation is attempted.)  The
security provisions within acrobat (and all are placed on these files by
the author) prevent saving in a different format, cut/paste/copy etc - a
dead loss in my opinion for distributing this type of content!
