Hi,
I am using Adobe reader 8.1.3 and IE 6.0.0.
I have an unusual situation where only pdf files LARGER than 8k will open in the browser. Anything small than 8k will not.

This seems to be an issue with pdf files only as I am able to open other file types that are less than 8k with no problems.

All of the files reside on a server and are accessible via a web page.

If I login to the hosting server directly I am able to open them just fine regardless of the file size.

I need this to work in IE as that is the only browser that is supported. DOD site.

Any thoughts or suggestions as how to resolve the problem.
Thanks.
