So my computer recently started having an issue when I try to view a pdf from Internet Explorer. Explorer will crash/boot me out of IE if I try to download a pdf. I've tried re-installing IE, and Acrobat & Reader, but still nothing.
I even tried downloading a pdf thru Firefox, but will only get a blank page...
For more detailed information about the specific problems you are having, your event viewer for applications (for winxp, in the administrative tools) might shed more light on the specific problem.
Also, while I don't remember any recent issues with the adobe reader, you may have a virus. Scan your computer if you get the chance.
If none of that works, chances are you may have corrupted something. do you have a backup of your system or the registry which you can revert to?
Well, it has happened to me before.
Restarting your computer should work.
Actually I fixed it because there was a duplicate adobe acrobat reader task within the Task Manager. If you prefer, Ctrl+Alt+Del and check for any Adobe Acrobat task/process and END it.
Try again after that.
If not working, do as l8rpeace says...

dumb Internet Explorer/Firefox/pdf question...

Any ideas?
right-click and do 'save target as' then after it saves open the pdf
try the adobe forums for either adobe reader or adobe acrobat, whichever you are using. or the microsoft knowledge base with a search for IE. or Firefox knowledge base. You should find something there.
