Cannot open the Insert object (Pdf file) form Excel 2000(9.0.8968 SP-3)
I've just checked mine, I hadn't bothered before as I don't use it that much
just when I want to download my phone bill and an occasional cross stitch pattern. I have version 2.3 Build 2923 installed on Vista. -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "Heather" wrote in message ... "David H. Lipman" wrote in message ... From: "Joan Archer" | Or do his computer a favour and install Foxit PDF Reader instead, much | smaller footprint and works equally well if not better g FoxIt is now crippleware and acting badly like adware and requiring the installation of an Ask Toolbar. If you choose not to install the Ask Toolbar, FoxIt is crippled. I am using an older version I guess.....but my Foxit is not crippled nor is it asking for a Toolbar (pun not intended, grin). Just checked it and it is Version 2.0, Build 0930. I use it fairly frequently for jewellery designs, etc. And it works just fine. It did ask for something recently, but I said NO, and it worked just fine. I think all of us who used WinME for years are wary of adding stuff to programs, etc. I will admit to it myself......but it is a hard to break habit. I would assume that www.oldversion.com just might have this version. Heather |

From: "Noel Paton"
| OK - just d/l'd and installed Foxit 3.0 | If you don't let it install the Ask Toolbar, then it won't let you use | @typewriter tools, Text viewer, and Text Converter@ - whatever they are. | Since I've never heard of them until now, and can't see what earthly use | they'd be to me for reading PDF files, then I don't care about about not | having them. | For god's sake, David - it's not as if Foxit is disabling the ability to | read PDF files!!!! | What I do mind more is that they try and sneak a quick install of eBay links | after you've already dis/allowed the Ask ones. The Typewriter tool allows you to literally type into fields. This if you have a non-editable PDF form you can use the Typewriter Tool to place your text in the desired fields. { I personally would try to use Acrobat and LifeCycle Designer to make the form editable such that the form and data can be saved with Adobe Reader }. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

Noel, that's great for you. However I can find hundereds of non-fillable PDF forms on the web where the Typewriter tool fills the niche very well. As for me, I work with PDF all the time. I do all our office forms in Adobe. I even scan forms into PDF format and then use LifeCycle Designer to make them editable forms. Back to the point of this... The latest distribution of FoxIt has gone adware. They want to bundle Ask Toolbar and will cripple FoxIt if you don't install it. That's the point. I will note that you can install FoxIt and the Ask Tolbar and then disable and remove the Ask Bar BHO and have a full functioning FoxIt Reader. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

Yeah, you tell 'em Furball!! (VBG) But to be honest, I totally agree with you. I have NEVER used Adobe or Foxit to edit stuff......and I get really p.o'd when I have to d/l a pdf just to read something. It seems to be gaining in popularity, but most times I just hit the cancel button for pdf's (other than joolz). XX Figgs |

I honestly don't know, but I will look into it. I get tired of all of the junk that will land on my computer with updates.....gave Yahoo hell cuz there was NO box to uncheck to prevent their toolbar (with the latest Sun Java update). Upshot....I have the Java update and deleted the toolbar. Getting testy in my old age.......lol. |

OT.....I have used MusicMatch to play my mp3's for eons......it is no longer in existance and Yahoo bought it and then dumped their version of it. Any suggestions for a music player that is as good as MM?? If not, I will stay with it. I hear Real Player is becoming a bit of a PITA. Cheers....Figgs |

The Firefox addin for Foxit is downloadable from Foxit once you have it
installed (via the included updater) RealPlayer has ALWAYS been a real PITA! -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Heather" wrote in message ...
