Difficulties in displaying and printing .PDF files?

1. Some MS Internet Explorer for Windows users have experienced difficulties in displaying and printing .PDF files. A work-around solution is to right-click on the file and specify that you wish to save the file in a local directory on your computer (i.e., “save target as”). Then view with Acrobat Reader locally. If you use Netscape, you should not experience difficulty.
2. Another work-around is to re-configure Acrobat or Acrobat Reader 4+ to operate independent of your browser: To configure an Acrobat 4.0x viewer as a helper application: 1. Exit from Internet Explorer or AOL. 2. Start the Acrobat 4.0x viewer. 3. Choose File > Preferences > General. 4. Deselect Web Browser Integration in the Options section and then click OK. 5. Exit from the Acrobat 4.0x viewer. 6. Restart Internet Explorer or AOL. (See http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/98fe.htm for additional details.)
