Yes, I have heard of this before. 

Two things to check here. First check in Acrobat Reader -> Edit ->
Preferences -> Options and see if the "Display PDF in Browser" is checked.
Second check in Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types
tab for the PDF extension and click the change button to see if it is still
associated with the Acrobat Reader program.

The final fix I've found is to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Reader, that
sometimes fixes it.

Subject: [wdvltalk] linking to files...


We've a problem on our site...
we have several pdf's for download.
On different computers, we have differnt results when people click on the 
link...
1. the user automatically downloads the pdf and opens it in the browser 
window
2. The user gets an open/save/cancel dialog box
2a, Open causes acrobat to say an error was detected
2b. save, works just fine

I've compared IE verson No etc, on my bosses and my computer etc... and 
they're idnetical...

It seems to work for everyone when the user right clicks and saves as...
I've put a disclaimer up to say this, but my boss still doesn't do that, 
and she keeps getting errors...

So, has anyone heard of this before?
