    Default PDFs with forms added in Acrobat Pro 8 causePreview.app to crash...

    The subject line summarises my problem... has anyone else seen this?

    I've tried it on a couple of computers with a a couple of different documents and as soon as I add form fields the resulting pdf causes Preview to crash.

    Interestingly it only seems to be when I add forms using the new "auto-detect" features that it causes a crash (but I haven't confirmed this yet).

    Not everyone here as Reader installed (or set to default)...
