| | Internet Explorer Hangs on PDF I have a problem with Internet Explorer and Adobe reader. If I try to open a pdf file or link to a pdf document from a web page IE hangs and displays a blank screen showing its trying to download. However, if I right click on the document, I could download it and Adobe reader can open it. The problem occurs only if I am opeing the document from within Explorer. I have installed and uninstalled Reader, 6,7 and 8 no dice. I checked to make sure the options to open pdf within explore is checked in Adobe Reader and that the add-ons from Adobe are enabled. What else can I do. Please help. I have Vista 32 bit. |

| | Re: Internet Explorer Hangs on PDF Have you installed the latest version of the Adobe Reader, version 8.1? Other than that, the best you can do is ask in the Adobe Reader support forums: http://www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry <malamilia@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1bb98464-23b2-41ee-b494-5e1fde3bd567@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a problem with Internet Explorer and Adobe reader.

However, if I open a pdf using adobe in IE is that the stupid Adobe "there's probably maybe a new upgrade or something can I go check huh can I can I?" window pops UNDER the browser window and waits for you to click yes or no. The browser looks hung but there's really a popup popped up UNDER it waiting for you. |
