I can't open a .pdf file from a website anymore, since installing SP2. I
can only download.

Has anyone else noticed this?? Is there a way around it?
 
Article 883260 is about attachments. I never open attachments unless I know
who they are from and what they are.

My question is different - when I run across a pdf file in a Google search
and want to see what's in it, I have previously been able to open it just by
clicking on the link. Then I can save it to the hard drive if I want to keep
the information.

But now I just get a box with two options: DOWNLOAD and CANCEL.

Yes, I've heard of many problems with SP2. So I suppose MS need to get to
work on an SP3!
 
Q883260 also includes new policies about downloads in IE6 SP2; among them is
PDF files.
 
Dear Sir,

I regurally Create and use use Acrobat PDF Filese in
Intranet Websites that we have in our company.

Recently I downloaded Microsoft latest Critical Security
Update for Windows Xp.

Now None of the PDF's will Display in the Browser.

The New Active Content Tool vbar stops them.

How can I get them to display.

Is there any way that I can switch off the potential
Active Content in a PDF File when I am Creating it.

kind regards,

Michael Mc

Are you going to abandon mvps.org host? Do I have to reassociate all of my
Bookmarks!?!?!?! <argh>
 
I don't have plans to abandon the mvps subweb, but may no longer add any
page. I've also mirrored the utilities (such as toolbarcop ~100k) to
winxptutor and this should definitely reduce the load on mvps servers.
