PDF Issues

[Guest]

I recently started having problems with opening PDF files. When I click on a
link that goes to a PDF, a dialog box comes up with the option to Open or
Save. The file can be opened if I save it and then open directly in Acrobat.
But if I select open, Acrobat loads but gives an error "There was an error
opening this document. This file cannot be found." I checked the settings for
temporary internet files and it is set to keep 50megs. I tried clearing out
the temp files, and it still doesnt work. This seems to be an issue with
opening files directly. I have also tried to open a TIF image and that does
not work.

I'm running XP SP2 with all the latest updates, Acrobat Pro 6, and Reader 7.

Hi Brad

Try the following and see if it helps:

IE browser software defaults Acrobat Reader to "OFF" to display PDF files.
You can restore the setting to"ON" by finding an Acrobat document and then
opening it.

Then click Edit> Preferences> Internet> check the box nect to "Display PDF
in browser"

If still no joy, try the information here:
