Hello. I'm not sure how this is done in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox, you can go to tools and options and applications and tell FireFox what to do when it comes across a pdf file. Usually the default is to open it, but you can have it download or at least, ask you what to do. I find this works much better wen reviewing many pdf documents in one session. I also recommend the latest 3.5.x Firesox and the latest 9.x.x adobe reader.

Many thanks.

How big are the files?  I haven't noticed that sort of lockup with
these two programs.  My biggest hangup with pdf is that if I load a
bunch one after the other (like viewing financial statements from a
webpage where I can't download them) the computer will crash,
eventually.

Hi.

I used to be able to use  Adobe reader to read large PDF files with lots of
tables in a fairly straightforward way.  But since WE 7.11 I am having a lot
of trouble.  Large PDF's with lots of tables now seem to lock up the
computer.  I upgraded both my Vista and XP pcs to version 9.1, and if
anything, the problems have gotten worse.  I can do a reasonable job reading
a file if I let adobe render it page by page, but the read entire document
now locks up the computer for sometimes as long as half an hour, and if I
tab out of the reader and then back in I'm in for another long period of
silence from WE.  Also, if I do get into the file, often the press of
shift-ctrl-f search hotkey locks up the computer for another half an hour.

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Bill
