Display of .pdf files

[Guest]

When I access a web page that contains a link to display a pdf file such a
downloadable form or an online bank statement, the pdf file no longer
displays if I choose to display it on screen. If the item can be downloaded
and I save it, I can open it with my Acrobat software.

I have the same problem. Please let me know, if this problem is fixed

Hi,

Have you tried removing Adobe Acrobat Reader and installing the newest
version for www.adobe.com?

Thank You,

I have Acrobat Standard 6.0 installed and have tried to correct the problem
by repairing the installation but to no avail. I noticed the problem soon
after installing the new Google desktop search tool but it may have been a
problem before then. I've tried opening a few more links but I often get the
IE error detected box and I have submitted the error message.

You do not say which operating system you are using but with XP, when IE 6
went stupid on me, (it kept closing with an error and sending off so many
reports to MS that I must have filled a server or two). I used

Start > Run

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

I will not say all my troubles went away, but the IE6 ones did!

I am using XP and I gave your suggestion a try but it did not solve the
problem.

Don Y,
Sorry, that was my best shot, but another poster suggested that you remove
Acrobat and then re-install. You said that you had repaired but not that
you had uninstalled. I suggest that you try the un-install reboot and then
re-install and see if this resets anything that may have been damaged on
disk or in the registry. There have been several updates to Acrobat 6, if
you re-install I suggest that you check for updates before trying to run the
program. Will Acrobat start if your either click on a saved *.pdf or if you
start the program and then select a file so open?

Richard,
Thanks, I'll give it a try and, no, Acrobat doesn't seem to have a problem
opening saved pdf files or opening pdf files using File/Open from within the
Acrobat program.
