IE6/FF3 crashes opening pdf documents
My web browser lately keeps crashing when I try to open a PDF document from a link. It was working fine until recently, but I don't remember exactly the last time I clicked on a pdf link while surfing. I normally use Firefox but I have also tried IE and the same thing happens. As soon as I click on link to a PDF document, I do see the document but it crashes within 15 seconds. I read somewhere that disabling "open pdf documents in web browser" in the Acrobat options helps but that didn't work for me either.
I am using FF 3.0.3, IE 6.0 and Acrobat Reader 9.0. Any help is greatly appreciated. Last edited by Subhash; 09-28-2008 at 05:35 PM. |

You might want to try uninstalling adobe acrobat reader, and trying out foxit reader.
See if that gives you problems.

Is it a specific PDF that causing the problems, PDFs from a specific site, or just PDFs from any site?

Adobe Reader has turned into a hopeless intrusive pig. Use Foxit.

Thanks glc and shadowpr. I uninstalled Acrobat and installed Foxit. No more crashes. Still wondering if there is a fix to the Acrobat Reader. Would going back to Reader 8 help ? |

8 is still pretty bloated. Even 7 is a pain, that's what I have on this box right now.

I've had a good experience with 9 so far, although I still use foxit as default.
