Using IE 5.5 SP2 and Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 under W2K, you go to one of our internal web sites and click on a link to a PDF file, Acrobat reader opens the file properly.   If you cut and paste the exact URL to the PDF file into the browser and hit enter, you get the dialog that asks if you want to open the file or save it.  If you click on "open" file, Acrobat opens up, but you get a "There was an error opening this document.  The file does not exist." error message in Acrobat reader.  From the same web site, if you click on a link to a Word document, Word opens the document properly. 

This problem does not occur on Windows 95 PCs with IE 5.5 SP2 or with Netscape.   I am a desktop tech and hope that this may be a web server related issue.   Thanx for any information.
