Hi :)
Errr, we had this same problem with Outlook at work. The main fix happened
when we upgraded Adobe Reader. Temporary foxes were to switch to Foxit Reader
(i suspect any other would have worked too). Another temporary fix was to save
the attachment to "My Docs" and then open it from there.
Another time my boss couldn't download Pdfs using Internet Explorer. Switching
to Foxit fixed it or using Firefox with Foxit or Firefox with Adobe but the one
combination that wouldn't work was IE with Adobe.
Adobe Reader keeps having tons of problems. I think it's competing with Java
for the prize of being the most vulnerable program that wasn't designed to be
malware. Update it and then wait for new problems with it next month.
Alternatively try using something else for the majority of you work and only
use Adobe when you really have to. Honestly you'll be so glad you did.
Regards from
Tom :)
