I can not open my pdf link to read the content anymore.
Please tell me what's going on?

It's an issue with the Adobe PDF plug-in that needs to be upgraded to handle garbage collected programs like the new version of Bookpedia.
If you don't use the Adobe plugin you can remove it from your computer in order to allow Bookpedia to use the regular Preview installed with OS X for PDFs. This is the file you need to delete:

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin

Another option is to make sure you have the latest version of the plug-in that might support garbage collection. But Adobe is not a quick updater so even the latest version might be incompatible.
