I am having a problem when it comes to opening pdf files in the literature and manual section. When I click on a subject matter it switches screens then I get a white screen that says done at the button and just stays blank.

Yet if I right click and save as a target item and down load to my computer I have no trouble with opening the pdf file. Can someone please help me.

I am running windows vista home edition. I have tried to downloading adobe 9, but after I try downing loading it. I get a window that pops up and reads corrupt file or another window will pop up and reads failed to load core ddl.

John-

When you click on the link directly you are loading the entire document into the browser. This is where you rely on the browser's connection to a PDF viewer. You should try reinstalling the newest PDF viewer which is 9.1. It's over 40 megs so give it plenty of time to download; you may be interrupting the download giving you those funky error messages.

Actually the best way is to right click and save as... just like you mentioned. Some of Kevin's files are MANY megabytes.

John,

I would actually expect you to get that white screen if you simply click on the PDF link. As you are trying to view the PDF over the internet. So basically your browser has to download a majority of the file before it can start to view it. So if you click on a 25 meg PDF. The white screen you are seeing is the broswer trying to download the file so it can view it. If you are on dial-up, or slow connection, then this may take a long time. This is not a website issue, but a file size vs. download bandwidth issue. I bet if you waited for the website to download the entire file, that eventually the white screen would disappear, and the document would view. Hence why at the bottom of every Article I have the note about right clicking and downloading it to your PC for viewing.

If the software support world I would refer to this problem a NFF. No Fault Found. Ticket closed.

Kev, don't know if it's on your end or mine, but all of sudden the pages sure load slowly. Using Windows XP and Internet Explorer.
