Many thanks to Yvonne and James Devenish for playing around with my 'corrupted' files earlier this morning and for experimenting and creating their own files to test the problem.
Looks like the 51 page limitation (or bug) I reported earlier arises ONLY when creating PDF files using TextEdit and reading the PDF file using either Adobe Reader 5.0 or 6.0. The 51 page limitation (or bug) does not appear to arise when creating PDF files using, for example, AppleWorks or M$Word (Office X) and reading the PDF file using either Adobe Reader 5.0 or 6.0. This appears to be another one of those curious little twists in this 10 dimensional universe of ours. I hope I've made sound inferences there ... I have consumed so much coffee this morning in preparation for tonight's webcast that I'm not sure I am thinking straight ... but I'm looking forward to an orgy of new low-cost iPods in the wee hours tomorrow morning ... maybe the release of iWrite ... wondering what GarageBand actually does ... and wonder whether I'll be able to afford to upgrade my Toyota Echo to a Hilux Ute and start saving again before Apple releases its liquid-cooled G4 iBooks ... ahhhh ... speculation ... speculation.

I've been turning text and other documents (e.g. web pages) into PDFs on my iBook for portability reasons (I'm a Mac user working in a cold Windoze world) and have noticed that the 'Save as PDF' feature in OS X can't handle more than about 50 pages of text. <SNIP> Is this a bug, or could it be a deliberate limitation on Apple's part so as not to cut into Adobe's commercial product sales? <SNIP>
