Cannot Open pdf from Internet Explorer

try updated your reader, or re-installing i know this is the cheaters way out but it should fix the problem.

the fact that is it not downloading it and trying to open it from a remote system can create some issues also.

It pulls in the data.  when it goes to open what it just downloaded, it is as if it does not know where to look - like it doesn't know where the temp folder is.

This is a known problem between Internet Explorer and Acrobat Reader, to resolve it, follow these steps:

If you have Acrobat Reader 4.0

Open Acrobat Reader
Under the file menu, select Preferences - General
Under "options," uncheck the "Web Browser Integration" box.
Click OK.
If you have Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher

Open Acrobat Reader
Click on "Edit," "Preferences"
Click on "Options"
Uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
You will now be given a choice to open  the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat or save it to your hard drive

Shot in the dark but worth an effort

you could also try upgrading to I.E. 5.5

Hello amangia =)

Configure Internet Explorer or AOL to display PDF files (Acrobat 5.0-6.0 and Adobe Reader 5.0-6.0 on Windows)

I have attempted the above suggestions - to no avail.  Is there somewhere in XP or Adobe that tells Adobe where to look to open files??  when i do a search on the file that I clicked to open, it shows up as being in My Computer as opposed to my doc's, etc..

Is Adobe no looking in the right place, or is IE putting the file in the WRONG place?

That's a few answers for this question:
1.You haven't Acrobat Reader or different application to open *.pdf files;
2.File which is on server is breaked. Find this file on differnt server.
Good luck!

That's one more answer for this question:
3.Link to that .pdf have bad file location.

Clear out the temporary internet files folder and unhide the top level folder of Documents and settings>[user name]>Local settings.  This worked for me.
