One thing you should do is upgrade to the latest acroread (version 9). It is no longer provided by the medibuntu repository. It's in the Canonical Partner repository (see Software Sources->Third Party Software).
If that still doesn't fix the issue, I highly recommend the PDF Download firefox extension. Whenever you click on a pdf, it pops up a dialog asking what to do: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636 -- Firefox freezes when trying to open PDF links (Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
