Troubleshooting PDFs
If you are using Internet Explorer or AOL, you may get a blank page when you try to open a PDF file.
This problem occurs when Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader opens inside your browser window rather than in an Acrobat window. There are two ways to solve this problem:
Save the PDF file
- Hold your mouse over the link to the PDF file
- Right click
- Choose Save Target As in the pop-up menu
- In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save
- Start Acrobat Reader
- Open the file you have just saved.
Re-configure your Acrobat
Acrobat 6.0 and Acrobat Reader 6.0
- Exit from IE or AOL.
- Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
- Choose Edit > Preferences.
- Select Internet in the list on the left.
- Deselect Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
- Restart IE or AOL.
Acrobat 5.x or Acrobat Reader 5.x
- Exit from IE or AOL.
- Start Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
- Choose Edit > Preferences > General.
- In the Options section, deselect Display PDF in Browser.
- Click OK, and then exit from Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
- Restart IE or AOL.
The next time you select a link to a PDF file in Internet Explorer or AOL, a dialog box will prompt you to specify what to do with the file:
- If you select "Open this file from its current location," your browser will open the PDF file in a separate Acrobat window. You will have to go back to your browser window to go to other places on the Internet.
- If you select "Save this file to disk," your browser will save the PDF file to your hard disk, from where you can open it later.
