I run a networked document system using pdf's generally at full-screen. Since rolling out Reader 7 any links from these pdf's to Excel spreadsheets no longer bring the Excel sheet into the foreground window unless the application needs to be started. (The Excel sheet may show up for a fraction of a second, so maybe Reader grabs it back). This is a pain, as users think they've clicked a dead link.
Acro Pro 7 does the same.
Excel ver is 2000, running under Win2000-SP4.

Any fixes out there?
