  • Problem displaying PDF file in IE...

    Hi,
    I can't display this FILE correctly in IE eventhough I have the latest Adobe Acrobat reader installed (ver.4.05). It first displays the content of the file but immediately goes blank... Sometimes it displays the content and freezes and does not allow me to scroll up and down ( though, I still can use "Back" or any button in IE's menu bar)
    I can open PDF files on most websites without problem. This problem used to happen with any PDF file. It is partially fixed when I installed new A.A version.
    This is happenning with both IE 5.01 SP1 and IE 6 (beta).
    Can someone try to open it and tell me what to do?
    I'm using Windows 2000 Pro SP1
    Thanks.

    It is opened correctly if I first download it to my HD and then open it. It occurs only when I choose to open directly in IE.

      It worked fine for me using the link you posted (opened in IE).

      Running: Win2k (no SP), IE 5.01 (no SP), Acrobat 4.0 (Acrobat, not just the reader), and G400 5.20 driver package (if that matters).

      Not sure what the problem could be, but good luck.

      Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? But why put off until tomorrow what you can put off altogether?

        It's a bug in either adobe acrobat itself or IE can't remember which. However the solution is to download it and then open it directly or use another browser.

          I long ago gave up using Adobe Reader as a plug in with IE. As with others here, I just download a view.

            I haven't really had problems with Acrobat 4.0 and its plugin to IE5.01 (no SP). However I was using an SMP NT4 machine yesterday that was running IE5.5 and Acrobate Reader 4.0. While I could easily open files for viewing, when I tried to print them the Acrobat reader would consume 50% of both processors and just sit there eternally. If it didn't do that, then it would simply Blue Screen me instead.

            Downloaded the file, opened in the viewer manually, printed like a champ.
