HELP WITH SOME ADOBE ACROBAT READER PROBLEMS

The Adobe Acrobat Reader may be used to view Internet documents in
two ways. One is to integrate it with the web browser. In that
mode, the Reader runs in the background while document pages appear
inside the browser window.

There can be problems using that mode, especially when attempting
to view large documents. A common symptom is appearance of an
apparently blank page. One can also be presented with what appear
to be just a few lines of garbage text.  These may be accompanied
by difficulty returning to the previous browser page.  Adobe, the
browser, or the computer can also completely lock up.  Causes can
relate to the document, the internet server, computer and/or modem
cache sizes, or configuration of the browser.

The second mode of using the reader seems to avoid those problems.
That is to configure the Reader to have it operate separately from
the browser.

To do this, close the browser and open Adobe Acrobat Reader while
off-line. Select "File", "Preferences", and then "General". A small
window will open with several possible configuration settings. Near
the bottom right will be a check box labeled "Web browser
integration". Un-check that box, click "OK", and exit the Reader.

The next time you chose to view a PDF document with your browser,
you will be presented with two choices. One will be to open the
document from its current location. This will start the Reader as a
separate program and load the document into it. The wait time can
be shortened by previously opening the Reader.

The second choice is to save the document file to disk.  The desk
top is a convenient place. It will then be saved as any download.
The document can then be viewed by the Reader with the browser
running but independent of coordination with it. It can also be
held for view later when off-line, saving connection charges.
