Re: Error open the pdf file directly from the IE

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Internet Explorer cannot on its own open/display a PDF file. You'd need to have the Adobe or FoxIt or similar PDF viewer installed.
If you have one of those and they otherwise work check the File Association settings in Windows Explorer for apps that open .PDF
files.

I try to open the .pdf file directly from the IE, it show error " there was
an error opening this document. this file cannot be found:

PC installed with MS OFFICE 97 can open directly but pc pc with office 2000
and office 2003 or xp, can't open directly the .pdf file directly from the IE
.. from the forum , mentioned about hotfix for office 2007, is there any
hotfix for office 2000 or office 2007.

We have few sites where users need to open directly.

I tried use Adobe 7.0 ,8.0 & 9.0 , guessed not the adobe problem. >>
