Hi all,

We have made some research on the 
'Error Locating Object Handler' problem and 
I'd like to share my experience with you in the
hope that it may help somone who has faced the 
same thing.

The problem occurs with Acrobat Reader 4.0 and MSIE 5.0

The possible reasons of this problem can be:

1.) The URL of the generated PDF (usually a servlet's URL)
is too long. Our one was 468 chars long and it didn't work,
so we shortened it to about 120 by renaming and/or eliminating
parameters and the problem went away, however an other PDF
generation still produced the issue: see reason 2.

2.) There is a DLL called nppdf32.dll that needs to reside
either in 
Program Files\Internet Explorer\Plugins
- and -
Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\browser

In our environment it was missing from the latter folder.

So, if you can, avoid this configuration.

HTH,
Gyula
