Configuration in Windows for Acrobat Reader.
I have a problem with the way Acrobat Reader is working. I am pretty sure it
is the way Explorer is configured or it is a Registry entry that isn't as it should be. If I am in the incorrect forum then please advise the correct one. I have Acrobat Reader 6 installed on the system. However there are some Registry entries for Reader 5 as well. Problem. If I click on a Acrobat Reader file on a web site, the file is downloaded and the reader is opened but an error message comes up that the file cannot be opened as a file is missing. However,if I download the same file and save it, open the same version of Reader and then locate the file from within the Reader, it opens OK. Any ideas what the fault is. Thanks. Alan |

If you have an older version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed (in this case
version 5.x), remove it by using ControlPanel Add/Remove Programs. Then, reinstall Acrobat Reader 6. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Alan" wrote in message ...

Configuration in Windows for Acrobat Reader.
Start Acrobat, click "Edit", "Preferences", highlight "Internet" and make sure
that "Display PDF in browser" is checked. In not, check it and click "OK". Ben "Alan" wrote in message ... I have a problem with the way Acrobat Reader is working.

Alan Thanks for all your suggestions. I have in fact tried to uninstall anything Adobe Acrobat and found that after uninstalling via Add/Remove, there appears to be a lot of unconnected files and folders left for different editions of Adobe. I am at present deleting manually and then I will move onto the Registry. It is also somewhat complicated by having four different profiles/logins on the PC so I am having to go through all the profiles to ensure everything is removed. Alan |

Unfortunately, the problem still exists with the download from this particular website. (I went to a completely different web site and down loaded a PDF from them perfectly ok). So it looks like a problem with this site, whatever it is. Alan |
