IE6 and opening pdf's - 8/22/2005 7:33:31
Following the update to IE6 in August links to pdf's on some sites may become inactive, or otherwise unusable. It appears that the closer association between Adobe and M$ means that they are sharing bad habits. To regain the ability to view pdf's you need to change one of the Acrobat Viewer's preferences. If you or your users have the Viewer set to open pdf's in the browser you have to uncheck this option and force IE into opening a new window to display the pdf.
This reference gives detailed instructions for various versions of the Viewer/Reader. What to do when PDF files do not open correctly or when your browser displays a blank white screen after trying to open the PDF file... Blank page display
Grrrr...
