a little more of a description would help. Do you get an error
message? Does nothing happen at all? etc...

What version of Acrobat Reader...What version of IE...What operating
system and is it up to date....all pertinent to the answer....

You may wish to explore Acrobat's own site that address many
compatibility problems dependant on the combination of the above 3
variables.

I had this problem on one occasion. 

Previously, it had worked OK.

I solved it by removing the Acrobat Reader & re-installing, probably
the same version.

Good Luck!

Can you right-click on the link which leads to the PDF page and click
Save-Target as to save the pdf file to your computer and then open it?

You may need to upadate your version of Internet Explorer! The sate
may even be having bandwidth issues, IF you have tried many sites then
I would say update your Acrobat, maybe your computer is too old... and
last you may have a MEAN virus. I don't know of any off the top of my
head but its a possiblity. Goodluck!

Hi~If you can't browse it in ie or other browsers,you may right-click
your mouse or use some download program like netants to save it on
your own disk,if that works,you'll see the pdf files.
