Chrome, it forces a download before you can open the drawing by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the downing effect Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm using Internet Explorer 8. The links used to open, and I was prompted to save, save as or open. Now nothing happens, I haven't changed any settings or installed any new software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly recommend using Firefox or Chrome if possible, IE breaks everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now nothing happens, I haven't changed any settings or installed any new software. Internet Explorer updates from MS about 3 times a week because nobody ever gets it right. After the last update, I couldn't see pdf docs at all anymore. I'd just get a blank page in an empty frame. It was very important to me to see and download the pdf's. I was downloading my new Florida car insurance "Proof of Insurance" and driver's insurance ID cards. I installed google chrome and everything is peachy again.

SLW210 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Never had a problem with IE. Works fine here. Can't load Firefox at work. The PDF preview was an Adobe update problem. I reloaded Reader and all is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reloaded Reader and all is fixed. It may be the way IE talks to Adobe. A new Adobe update fixed it, then it broke again. IE won't let me get on my online banking account either. Can't figure out why. Bank says NO cookies will not work. IE says cookies working. >. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
