The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Can't open PDF in IE7 but can save it and then open it

Asked by dcadler in Adobe Acrobat, Internet Explorer Web Browser, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Internet Explorer Adobe Reader fails PDF

I have about 35 notebooks that have XP SP3 with IE7 and Adobe Reader 9 installed. The average user is not a member of local administrator or local power user group. When they go to a website that has a PDF and they click on the PDF link, they get an Open/Save dialog. Clicking on Open returns an Adobe Reader error "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.". I can save the file and then open it with no problem.

If I log in as a user who is a member of the local administrator group, I can open the pdf in IE7 just fine. So I must assume this is a rights issue.

Does anyone know what folder on the computer I need to give the user elevated permissions cation for? I know it is not c:\windows\temp.

Thanks,

Dave
