Stephen... I just hit the URL again using IE 6.
I got two messages from Acrobat, one that the page contained no comments with "Yes" and "No" buttons. The other one said "This action is not permitted." Both of these ocurred while I had Reader open as a standalone app. When I hit the FDF page without Acrobat open, I, once again, got a blank page and no errors. Sorry dude...
