PDF Files won't open in Browser

[Jason]

I am a newbie, front page 2002. I have links to a pdf
file. While in Microsoft Front Page, it links to the
correct file, opens the reader and I see the file. After
publishing the web, which I have tried several times, I
go to the link through the browser, it goes to a blank
page (has document name in address bar) but the page is
blank after it is done loading. What am I not doing
right? I have searched the knowledge based articels and
am doing it exactly as instructed by Microsoft. Please
help!

Thanks -- Jason

Can you provide a URL for us to look at? It's hard to diagnose a problem
without looking at it.

Sorry about that. www.midamrealty.com

Thanks for your help.

Jack:

It is under the link to "our partners". The pdf file is
linked to the "insurance services" link on the our
partners page.

Thanks.

Jason,

My first guess is that there is a problem with the filename:
"http://www.midamrealty.com/Mike's PDF Brochure.pdf"

As a rule, you should avoid non-alphanumeric characters (including spaces)
in filenames within websites. Try changing the pdf filename to something
like this to see if it fixes your problem:
insurance_service_brochure.pdf ("Mike's" seems a tad informal...)

A standard tactic is to substitute underscores (_) for spaces in long file
names.

Ditto for the "Dan's PDF.pdf" on the same page.

Thanks Jack. Appreciate your help.

No problem. Be sure to post back if that does indeed fix your problem.

And make the check out to "Cash."

Works fine for me in IE 6.

I would suspect an issue with your Adobe reader installation.

Did you try it before or after he renamed the files?

I just checked again and both PDFs load fine in IE6.
