PDF Viewing

[flopstock]

I know this is going to be something stupidly simple, but here goes...

I'm putting in some new workstations. The users can't click on a pdf link and have it open - the page just hangs up and eventually times out. You can save it to the desktop and then open it however.

I have the latest reader downloaded. However- they also have acrobat 7 standard installed. But (and here's the pisser) - so do the older workstations right next to them that have no problem viewing the link.

Same browser versions - ie and firefox both.

I've messed with pluggins - I just don't know.

any suggestions?:surrender

I've ran into this before... you are running into conflicts with reader and standard.

I think I needed to change up which version was handling the file in the firefox options. It was a real pain to figure out, but I was able to google a solution.

I'll look to see if I can find it again.

Try this out

Did you recently upgrade to Acrobat 7? I had the same problem, and I was finally able to solve it this way (this assumes you are running Windows):

Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\Browser (or whatever the corresponding path is on your computer)

Find nppdf32.dll.

Copy it into your Firefox plugins folder, which is probably at c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins. (There might already be a copy there; if so, this is the old version, so go ahead and overwrite it with the version you copied from the Acrobat 7 folder.)

This fixed the problem for me, and hopefully it will for you too.

Try this out

Nope, but hopefully points me in the right direction. I'll remove everything and load one at a time to see what I get.

It's these little things that drive me nuts..D
