Can't see PDF documents in IE 6.0

I upgraded to IE 6.0 a few months ago and I just noticed that PDF documents are not displayed when I click on them. I just get a blank white screen with the little square symble thingy in the upper left hand corner. Any ideas?

Is your Adobe Acrobat Reader still installed/Working?

Ron,
I use IE6 and Acrobat Reader 5.0 and the .PDF pages read fine.
As Morris said, Acrobat installed? Or maybe a setting in Advanced?

Actually, I have Reader 4.0 installed along with the full version of Adobe Acrobat 4.0. I think the problem began after I installed the full version of Acrobat.

Check to see if it's not set to load in the browser instead of in Acrobat. Go to Prefrences, Options, uncheck "Display PDF in browser".

Dr.Z, is the setting you referred to within Acrobat or IE? In Acrobat reader 4.0 I have a setting checked under General Preferences called "Web Browser Integration".

In Acrobat Reader. For me, if that option is enabled, it will load the PDF file in the same browser window and while it is loading it shows just a blank window, which might be what you are seeing. In Acrobat Reader 5.0 there is a "Display PDF in browser" option I always disable.

Seems to work now. I unchecked "Web Browser Integration" and now I get the option to open or d/l the pdf.
