There are gazillions of PDF readers. All have their ups & downs; after trying many of them I settled on Sumatra as I found it least offensive, and it does the job. Foxit used to be great, but has fallen off, IMO. The BitDefender warning about Sumatra is a false positive, BTW, see https://forum.suma

Devon, I suggest “caution” in continuing to use Acrobat Reader, is it now “end of life”. I have been receiving emails saying uninstall and do not continue to use etc, advice is to upgrade to a paid version (or seek an alternate and dispense with Adobe now). Not sure if this might be affecting

Thanks for the tip. My earlier problem was definitely something wrong with Acrobat. It now works fine. On Sun, Jan 3, 2021 at 9:32 PM bill lam wrote: > You can try the output option eg > 'output pdf a1.pdf' plot i.10 > 'output pdf a2.pdf' plot *:i.10 > > > > On Sun, Jan 3, 2021 at 3:35 PM Devon

Yes - it's probably a problem with Acrobat; being able to also display the plot.pdf file in my browser is a red herring. Process monitor shows AcroRd32.exe being launched by jconsole but the display window does not appear anywhere I can see. Pointing to the plot.pdf file in my browser also lets me

It unclear to me how you had set your config for display pdf. There is an option inside base.cfg to set the specific program to display pdf not necessary a browser. For windows, the full path name to acrobat reader is required. If it still caches the old plot then you need to set file name of plot

Hi - in the most recent version of J my plots are acting oddly. I did not change my config so it should be continuing to use Adobe Acrobat reader (AcroRd32.exe) to display PDFs which typically pops up in a browser (MS Edge) tab. Now Acrobat seems to continue to run in the background when I kill t
