I'm helping a church with their website. Their newsletter is in PDF format and will not open in IE6 anymore. Have to save and open it.

Works fine in Firefox.

Any tips?
 
Sounds like their IE plug-in is borked. Try reinstalling the plugin.

Doing this has helped me with the same problem in the past. It hasn't happened recently, though, so YMMV.
 
make sure that "download signed active-x controls" is checked in IE security settings.
 
Is the site done with PHP? Just wondering because I'm currently doing PHP work and using PDF files. Actually I'm using a package called FPDF which is free. It has a FAQ that talks about your very problem. It also has a solution. Just go to...

FPDF Home

...and click on the FAQ menu item. Then read through numbers 3, 4, and 5. I'm sure something there will help you out. Even if you're not using PHP.
