Comment 3 for bug 238572

This does appear to be an issue with DL Links and Acrobat v6 (in XP - we don't have many Vista machines and none of them have a v6 of Acrobat installed) when loading up PDF documents.

The very same browser plugin (which loads the pdf into the full Acrobat v6 Professional app) which has problems with DL pdfs always worked fine on other web sites with pdfs (including our current staff web site).

Now I have a v8.x.x reader installed, this now acts as the browser plugin and the pdfs load fine. It seems to be a specific issue with v6 of Acrobat but we can't be 100% certain that it's an XP only issue or not.

I will consult with David and see whether this is a big issue with us or not. We would always recommend people use the most recent Acrobat reader anyway.
