I cannot open .pdf files when they are a link in an email message or when they are shown as a link online. The only way I have found that works for me is to paste the address into either Adobe or Text Cloner Pro, and then, they open right up. Obviously, there is a setting somewhere that I need to change, but I have looked and looked and cannot find any such setting anywhere. So, can you point me in the right direction to resolve this problem? I used to be able to click on such links in my messages or on websites, and it would come right up with a list of choices, I would click on "start" and the process would begin, but not anymore, unless I use Adobe or Text Cloner Pro directly. Oh, as additional information, I can go to a .pdf file I have saved on my hard drive, like in my Amateur Radio Folder, and it will open up. Ron Dr. Ronald E. Milliman Retired Professor of Marketing
