Some users of my site are having trouble viewing PDFs. In Mac OS X with IE 5.1, PDFs are automatically launched into Preview (the program that comes with OS X), not Acrobat Reader. This would be okay, I suppose, but the PDFs don't display properly in Preview. Unfortunately, the way PDFs are called from our site, we can't allow people to option-click and select "Download to disk". How can we provide instructions for configuring the OS and/or web browser to launch the correct viewer? Thanks!! Scott
