I banged your accurately transcribed error message into Google and got the following http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com: 80/support/kb/articles/Q241/3/85.ASP&NoWebContent=1
which fixed it for me For your problem http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/96e0771aad1c025a862569d8006aae4f might be useful. There are one or two intriguing looking MS KB articles as well but I can't seem to get to microsoft.com at the moment. The following is a work-around ---- Open Adobe Reader, Go to Edit > Preferences, click on "Internet" in the menu list, and uncheck "Show PDF in Browser" (These are instructions I saw on my own machine running version 6, hopefully 4 is similar enough..) This is make reader load on its own, or let you download the pdf instead of loading it into the browser. This might solve your problem ---- Hope these help John ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 2:26 PM Subject: RE: created pdf via FOP, try to load via https and get unsafe ActiveX control msg > thanks for the hints John, I may have to rewrite with > the application/pdf mime type, > > but back to the FOP thingy > > it seems if I do not use https > the pdfs load fine in IE (and mozilla) > once I turn on https, IE says > "This page provides potentially unsafe information to an ActiveX control. > Your current security settings prohibit running controls in themanner.
