A little help please,
If I click on something like this :-
http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/cms_reso...05%20G-EUOB.pdf
I get a blank browser page with Done in the bottom left hand corner.
To view the page I have to go
File-Save Page As-Save- click on saved file and bingo.
My computor used to do this automatically,
click on the link and up comes the file.
I am running Adobe Reader 7.0.5

Ditto.... My PC used to do this automatically, but will now only open PDF files after I save them, find them in some arcane location, then open them.
I assume that some "upgrade" from either Microsoft or Adobe has stopped this functionality for some reason, but I can't see why or how.
PDFS were fine on my PC until a few months ago, when they just stopped opening.
If anyone knows the fix for this, I'd be grateful as well.

Steamhead - I'm afraid the Pprune BB software has truncated your URL (painful:D ) so I cannot check on my machine, but 7.05 seems to show 'done' when it is still downloading. Given patience, the pdf eventually opens - when it is ready:mad:
How long have you waited? If it is a big file it may take a while.

Hi BOAC
No not a time problem.
I'm on cable broadband and its fast.
It used to be instantaneous when clicking on something like this.

I had this problem and found the solution here:
Freeze when you start Adobe Reader or Acrobat (6.0-7.x on Windows) (http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329444.html)
Worked for me. :D

Thanks ExGrunt
I did as you suggested and then used the Detect & Repair in Help of Acrobat and it started working as before.
Well Done
