I am having problems opening PDF files from the internet. The file opens and downloads the first page then stops. The window in which it is open then crashes.

The computer has acrobat 7.0 installed and also has the full adobe cs2 suite installed.

Any ideas?

Save it to your hard drive then read it offline.

Or don't open it online - just save it deirectly to hard drive as a .pdf file - then open the .pdf from the hard drive.

Or the .pdf file is corrupt on the site that you're downloading it from. Try to find an alternative site to download from.

Have you tried reinstalling Adobe Acrobat?

i can right click and save target as then open, but this is more of a work around than a fix. I've tried opening several PDF's which all do the same thing.

i've tried reinstalling Acrobat but the problem is still there.

Usually helps if using IE7.
Open Acrobat Reader, On the Edit Menu - Preferences, Internet, Uncheck the Display PDF in Browser.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but usally works.
