Ok, I have tried everything, from suggested fixes to
service pack updates to reinstall and acrobat settings,
but pdf files will just not open in my browser and i am
tired of 'save as target' everytime i want to view a file.
Is there anyone who knows a fix for this? please!
This worked for me but please know I running an old system, Windows 98 & IE
5.5, so this may not work for you. In addition I have a very slow
connection speed which may or may not contribute to the problem. However,
my suggestion is easily reversible so there is no harm done if it doesn't
help.
Open Acrobat Reader 5.0 and open the menu Edit/Preferences/General/Options.
(Your acrobat reader may or may not have a General tab. If the General Tab
is not available to you, proceed to Options.)
Disable the entry: "Allow fast web view."
Save the changes and reopen the web browser and try to view the report.
My experience is that the file will open in your browser with a white
screen. The screen will stay white slightly longer than it might normally
but the file will be downloading and always opens without a hitch. Before I
made the change I could open small pdf files but large files always gave me
a white screen and then nothing. Hope this helps.
