PDF files created in Microsoft Project 2007 cause silent crash in Acrobat 8 or Reader 8Products affected
Issue
When you scroll in a PDF file that was created in Microsoft Office Project 2007 either by using the PDFMaker add-on or by printing to the Adobe PDF printer, Adobe Acrobat 8 or Adobe Reader 8 crashes without displaying an error message.
Reason
This issue only happens if the PDF files are created with the option "Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" in Microsoft Project is checked.
Solution
Re-create the PDF file in Microsoft Project without 3D Gantt view.
- Start Microsoft Project 2007.
- Choose Tools > Options.
- Select the View tab.
- Uncheck the "Bars and shapes in Gantt view in 3-D" option.
- Click OK.
The graphs in your PDF file will be diplayed as they would appear in Microsoft Project 2003.
