65052 2002-07-26 01:34:00 Well, I think I've fixed it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I hope .

Everything kept checking OK but files still wouldn't open, so I had what I thought was a bright idea . If they work together off-line, why not force the issue and make the two programs work together in an on-line web environment? ?:|

I opened Acrobat and minimised it, then went surfing . Every PDF I tried opened automatically . Great I thought, so far so good, a workaround that will keep me sane! Then I closed Acrobat and tried again, just to see what happened .

Well, you wouldn't read about it :O (anywhere except on Press F1 of course) the darned greebnch had got the huff and sloped off .

Something got reset and now all PDFs open automatically again . I'm :^O :^O :^O :^O cos if I wasn't I'd be :_| :_| :_| :_|

What a way to earn a living, right now politics looks like an attractive alternative! :(

Thanks to all for the help . It is worth remembering this one as it seems that IE and Acrobat just forgot about each other for a while and needed to be reintroduced .

Cheers

65054 2002-07-26 02:21:00 See you are running Acrobat 5.05, it has a nasty habit of producing blank pages if in Edit | Preferences | you have ticked "Allow Fast Web View".
I unticked mine and it allows the pdf file to fully download before being displayed, progress of download shown by the usual grey bar. ?worth a try.

I only just installed 5 . 05 in an attempt to cure my problem, but I'm pleased to say that normal PDF service has been fully restored regardless .
