I have links on my website which open PDF documents.

Since last night when these are clicked only a blank screen opens.

Request help.

Arya.

Are you getting any error messages?
Are these PDF's hosted by yourself or on another site?
Are you running the latest version of Acrobat reader (7.0.7)?

There's a few things to think about.
I may just be a simple case of the PDF's being moved and your link is going to the wrong URL.

Answering your questions:
# 1. no error messages, just a blank page where the PDF should be
# 2. hosted by myself.
# 3. yes

# 4. how would I know if the PDFS are being moved?

Adding more input:
When I open the link on another computer the PDFS are seen clearly, this happens only on my PC

Have you tried reinstalling Acrobat Reader? I've seen problems where something 'breaks' the plug-in, and a quick reinstall sets it right again.

Also, you can test to see if it's a plug-in problem by, instead of clicking on a link to a PDF document, you right-click/save as and save the PDF to your PC. Then try opening from where you saved it.

Certainly:
Link: http://acu-free.com/

Please home page, see the product Deep Diagnosis, and click on the Preview link. All Preview links, connected to a PDF doc, are turning up blank. Checked on other PCs these are seen clearly, just are blank on my PC.

I double checked the integrity of the linked docs and even revised these.

I thought there were a pop up blocker, am running Mozilla as browser, but that does not seem to be so.

I get the pdf no problem on my end using both FF and IE... so must be something on your local computer.

I received this email, went to see the response, but could find none by that name. What can that mean?
