Hello Panos,

Thanks, i was not aware of that report. Btw. you are commenting in that report, that you could replicate the problem with a 316 page PDF, but not with a 5 page pdf.
In my case the PDF has only 1 page.

I knew that one already, because its a bug report based on a support request i filed. ;) 
To be honest, i almost forget about it. 
Rereading my comments i remembered that one hast remove the plugins and logoff and login again to get it working with the widget.

Btw. this might be a workaround for me if i need also the Acrobat plugins, but according to the dictionary the PDF widget is only available with a Pro license.
So this is not a workaround for everyone.


Anyway, thanks again.

Matthias
