The (old) pdf reader seems to be full of bugs. At the moment I've observed the following:

1) Annotation: Merging does not work when special characters are used in the comment text (see the discussion above)

2) To many comments per page slow down the working speed of the M92 (only for the page with the many comments)

3) The combination of pictures and text can slow down the working speed of the M92 dramatically (possibly related to bug 2?)

4) In some pdf documents the space characters are are not adopted in the comment text (thetextisnotreallyreadable)

Additionally we have still the problem of janek

Im really frustrated at the moment. Problem 1) I can avoid until the bug is fixed. Because of the others it's not possible to WORK with pdf files for me. But this (working with pdf files) is the core feature of the device. As long we have this beta status the sellers should not advertise with this core feature in my opinion! The potential of the device is high - no question. But at the moment it's not more than a (frustrating) toy.

I try to examine the bugs 2-4 to locate the reason. Than I'll try to generate public test files.

If you've observed similiar or other bugs concering pdf reader please let me know.

Thanks.
