Several people I know are having this same problem. I did not find this problem listed on Adobe.com FAQs or any of the forum topics.
Ever since I upgraded to Adobe Reader 7.0, when I click on a pdf document attchment to an email or I download a pdf document in any other way, the document won't open. MS Word and MS Excel document attachments and downloads don't have this problem. The only way for me to open such a pdf document is to save it to my hard drive, then open Adobe Reader, then open the file. This is cluttering up my hard drive with saved pdf files that in many cases, I would decide not to save if I could open and view them first. Why are we having this problem? BTW, I use Windows XP and Office Professional 2003. I have a Del Dimension 4400 PC. If anyone has an answer, please email me at harrismartin3@yahoo.com. I'll share the fix with my friends who are having the same problem. Thanks!
