Is it possible that it is something from Adobe Reader?

The next time this happens, try using Adobe Reader to open a PDF file
that you already have.  First, double-click on the PDF file to see if it
opens in Adobe Reader.  If that works, then close the PDF file and then
try to open it via the File menu on the Adobe Reader menu bar.

Don't test it now.  Wait until you have the problem again.


I do have the problem now. I just tested the Reader, and it works fine.

Try Preferences >Browser> Helper Applications
Click on the listing for PDF. choose Reader.

Or if you have plugin use AdobePDF plugin.

On Mac it only works with Safari on windows it works with anything and 
everything.


*Side Note*: for Mac Users download PDFViewer by Schubert it works with 
everything except Internet Explorer allows 
SM/FF/Safari/OmniWeb/opera/and iCab to open PDF within browser.


Most people here despise the idea of a Pdf opening directly in a 
Browser. But I think it great. A lot of my website uses PDF's and makes 
convenient to view the pages.

Go to Mozdev at  for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications.  You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.

Trouble with PDF's

[Tom Pamin]

I'm using SM 1.1.18 with Win7 64-bit. I keep getting an Adobe popup box 
with a question mark when I try to open pdf's in SM. What is causing 
this? If I reboot it works for awhile, then goes back to the question mark.
