I've seen that some websites that display PDFs won't work with Reader X if Reader X is opening them outside of the (IE) browser by default.
Opening within the browser is the fix for that. Just the opposite to what you might expect.

Many of our users have PDF's generated by the system they are running. They then do something stupid and print them. Well after a while opening them from the system with Reader X Adobe Reader will just lock up. We had to drop back to 9.4.3 to resolve that issue. I do not use those systems and I would not print them unless I was forced to. As long as they are saved why print them and save that also. But that is my hangup. ________________________________________ From: Sam Cayze [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 3:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: 0 Day in Adobe >>> Adobe Reader X Protected Mode mitigations would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing.

There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in targeted attacks via a Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Word (.doc) file delivered as an email attachment, targeting the Windows platform. At this time, Adobe is not aware of any attacks via PDF targeting Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Adobe Reader X Protected Mode mitigations would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing. Because Adobe Reader X Protected Mode would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing, we are currently planning to address this issue in Adobe Reader X for Windows with the next quarterly security update for Adobe Reader, currently scheduled for June 14, 2011.
