PDF download problem

[Gordon]

Since installing SP 2, my Windows XP Pro system won't open an
Adobe PDF file in my IE browser. I get a small rectangle with a
red X in it and no more. Yet, I can right click on the link then
"Save as" to put the PDF file on my desktop, then open it later
and it works right. I have turned my ad-blocker off and tried
everything else I can think of. Any suggestions??

Gordon,

Is the Adobe Acrobat ActiveX control and Adobe BHO enabled? You can verify
this via "Manage Add-ons" option in Internet Explorer. Secondly, some users
have reported that reverting back to Adobe Acrobat Reader v5.x has resolved
the problem (in case you have v6.x installed).

Ramesh, I checked and see that Adobe Acrobat Control for Active X
is enabled. Also, ACRO IEHlprObjClass is activated, but I don't
know what its purpose is.

These are the only two Adobe Acrobat related functions that are
listed on the "Manager Add0ons" pane.

Gordon, Have you tried updating Adobe via the Help menu?
