Hi All, I'm having trouble reading PDFs.

I have windows vista and have down loaded Adobe Reader 9 but am having trouble with reading PDFs from the web.

When the PDFs are opened I get the following message:

File Conversion
Select the encoding that makes your document readable.
Text encoding:
0Windows Default 0Ms-Dos 0 Other Encoding
On the right there is then another group I can select from in conjunction with one of the three listed above.

It does not matter which of the three I choose or what I choose in conjunction with the first three eg Windows Default, the PDF is always unreadable.

What I've done:
I've rung microsoft and they've said its an Adobe Reader issue;
I've uninstalled Adobe 9 Reader and reinstalled it from the net;
I've turned off my block on popups.

Can anyone help?

Julie
