Sometimes Acro 4 crashes during capture (running Capture Server), although infrequently...this can be midway through the second or third page...a total freeze that needs a hard restart (glad I'm using a Mac)

Most frequently, however, it is during correction of "Capture Suspects" (...sounds like a bad cop show from UPN). I seldom can correct more than two pages of text without Acro 4 self-shutting and my computer telling me to save whatever I can and restart. Upon "restarting", Finder quits (not the cpu), and I find rejected files in the trash (sometimes some in the Temp folder in Capture's folder). I can then reopen Acro 4 and continue, although usually I actually restart. i.e., when acrobat crashes, normal restart suspiciously becomes a two-staged process.

Also, nearly as frequent, is "soft crashing" while using Text Touchup...often at the end of one or two pages (I don't attempt any more...correcting text attributes for more than 2 pages causes a consistant application crash)

NONE of this happened with Acro 3...I could flip on through 5 or ten pages at a time without difficulty.

True, I prefer using Acro 4 with its greater control over the creation of files, and I prefer the ease of OCR in Acrobat over the somewhat more sophisticated OmniPage Pro...the end result is to be .pdf files, either for archiving and student use or for my web site; why not do it all in Acrobat.

I have it working after a fashion, but that's like saying one can walk on one's hands...not very far and only a bit at a time.
