PDF files blank when opened

[Guest]

I have Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1501 with the Adobe Reader 8
installed. I am having a problem opening some PDF files. They come up
blank. Most of the PDF files I receive I am able to open. I installed Adobe
Reader 8.1 with the same result.

Why are these attachments blank (even if I save them & try to open) and what
can I do to see the information sent?

Download a freeware program "Foxit Reader" it is far less bulky, and will do
all that "Adobe Reader" will, plus more & it intergrates well with all
browser.
Maybe the ones you cannot open are being sent by someone using Foxit!!!!!!

Bob, Foxit is good for most things and while this might not apply to this
user, it may apply to others. If a user is in the habit of attaching PDF
files in Quicken, you cannot use Quicken's encrypt function to encrypt those
PDFs if you use Foxit. In fact, because of a bug in Quicken, you can't use
Adobe Reader 8 or beyond for that function either, at least not up to
Quicken version 2006.
