There is an intermittent synchronization problem between Internet Explorer 5.X, 6.x and Adobe Acrobat / Acrobat Reader versions 4.x and 5.x. The problem occurs when Acrobat is setup as a "plug-in" to Internet Explorer (or an AOL browser). This can result in the PDF file not completely opening or the browser locking up.
There are two solutions to resolve this problem:
Turn off Web Browser Integration and view the PDF file in Acrobat.
Update to Acrobat Reader 6 or newer.
From Acrobat 4.x or Acrobat Reader 4.x
Select File
> Preferences > General.
The General Preferences window
is displayed.
De-select the checkbox beside
Web Browser Integration.
Click OK.
Web browser settings have been changed.
From Acrobat 5.0 or Acrobat Reader 5.0
Select Edit
> Preferences > General.
The Preferences window is
displayed.
Select Options
from list in the left window pane; then de-select Display
PDF in Browser.
Web browser settings have been changed.
