Michael,
Thanks for the clue. On closer inspection, I do indeed get those warnings, so I
deselected those 'base' localisations, and will try this again as soon as I
have access to a 10.6.8 machine. I’m really hoping that this test app shows
that the PDFView problem is somehow a bug, because I tried rolling my app back
to the last version that did work on 10.6.8 (2 point releases ago), but the
problem persisted. Yet if I download the older version from my website then it
runs fine on 10.6.8, so it’s clearly a build issue of some kind.
Thanks!
Martin
