I have had a similar problem for months. It is truly aggrevating! I have Win98se w/Adobe Reader 6.0 and it is seldom that I can download a pdf file directly from the WEB site. I have had to contact the company and have them send me the pdf file directly...then I can save it to disk and read it but the process is a PITA.

Pardon my shouting but.......
SURELY ADOBE CAN EASILY PUT A FIX IN 6.0 TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

There is no way that I am going to either buy a newer computer or install a newer OS just so that I can have this convienience of instant download. I want a way to download the pdf file and save it to disk. I am not offered that option when trying to obtain a pdf file from a WEB site. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM as witnessed by the above letters. As the "owner" of other first rate Adobe products, I am appalled that you have left us hanging without an option (guess what: Reader 7.0 cannot be installed if I am using Win98se)

Please do something about this, Adobe.
