My users came to me with an old PDF file ( dated in 2005)

I tried opening it in Reader 8.1.2 and I got the following message....

Adobe Updater -- Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components? [OK] [QUIT]

clicking OK takes me to the Adobe website page....
 <http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/notadobeplugin.html>
titled "Welcome to the Adobe Acrobat Plug-in Finder."

from here I can't get anywhere.

I also tried to open the file with Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0.5 ( as old as the PDF file)

get the following message....

Missing Component Not Found -- Information about the missing component may be available on the Adobe web site. The component is Filter /FOPN_intrlnk:. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the component? [OK] [QUIT]

Can anyone give me a hand? I have a few users who really need these documents.

Thanks in advance!!
