Hi Douglas and others on this thread.
May I just point out that if you are doing a Google search and
the results come up with PDF pages, then one can usually opt for
a 'read as HTML' option. This of course avoids the necessity of
viewing/downloading the PDF at all as you can semply have the
page displayed in IE as usual.
HTH.

Subject: [access-uk] Downloading PDf documents
I have always found using IE 6 that the easiest course of action
when I
want to read a PDf document from a web page is to open the
context
menu, choose the Save Target As option and download the file to
my
HD for later reading in the Adobe Reader. But yesterday I
encountered a file the link to which had no Save Target as in its
context menu. Does anyone know of a work around? I tried
activating
the link in the hope that it would appear in Adobe 6.02 but after
losing
speech for several minutes I heard the message "External Window"
bbut then the system froze.
Should it be possible to read such documents directly without
first
saving to HD and if so, is special configuration necessary in
either IE6
or the Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Douglas
