I created a report with Sweave today, that displayed perfectly on screen, but crashed both Adobe Pro 9.3.1 and Adobe Reader 9.0 on Windows 7. Output with Foxit Reader was flawless.
I was able to reproduce a "minimal" example, which is not really minimal but the smallest I could get after 2 hours of wasting paper. Required: latticeExtra calling both panel.xyplot(...) # both lines are required, no problem with only one of them panel.smoother(...) # pch = 16 (lower number were no problem) At least 300 data points with some overlap; I did bracket it exactly, but 200 did not show the problem. I was not able to generate a runif-based example, therefore a simplified data set from my original report is included. Reproduce: Run the example. sessionInfo see below. Open the created pdf with Adobe Acrobat Pro/Reader. It displays perfectly. Print it to any device; I used the virtual Windows XPS printer because after 30 pages I was running out of laser printer toner. Adobe Displays: Flattening, and hangs after 94%; must be force-restarted after that. When using more data points, it hangs after a lower percentage; looks like "flattening" has to do with processing of data points, and 300 is just above the limit. My workaround is to use something else than pch=16, because I cannot force customers to install Foxit.
