Frank,
Can you help me? I have a similar problem. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with
IE7 and Acrobat 8.1. I can open .pdf files off my hard drive using Adobe 8.1
no problem. But when I'm inside IE7 and want to look at a .pdf file that I
see online, then it crashes and won't even open the file (I've tried numerous
online sources of .pdf files so it's not just one file or source). Also, if
I'm in IE7 and I try to open one of the .pdf files on my hard drive, it has
the same crash, even though that same file would open fine if I tried it
outside of IE7. My computer didn't start out with this problem, but it just
sort of showed up a few weeks ago???
Thanks,
Claire Eichenberg

On the IE6 version open Windows Explorer and click Tools | Rolder Options |

Scroll down to PDF files and uncheck "Confirm oopen after download".

IE7 is fine, it's the IE6 computer which produces the dialog box.

Two computers - one computer uses IE7, the other uses IE6 When I click
on a web link to a PDF file I get different results:

On the IE7 computer, the PDF opens normally in Adobe Acrobat 81.

But on the IE6 computer, we first get a dialog box asking if we'd
like to open or save the file. Clicking on Open causes it to do just
that.

I assumed the difference had something to do with my security settings.
But a quick comparison doesn't reveal anything obvious.

This is probably a setting inside your PDF reader, but what is the
Windows version where IE7 is giving the problem?
