IE 8 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

[Crosspost to IE General]



Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?



1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?



=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet

Explorer (No add-ons).

IE8 in all OSS]

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your

subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?

What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running

in the background when you installed IE8?



4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this

machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought

it)?

1. The webpage does not open if I start IE in no add-ons mode-By the way, if

I close that IE window, when I open IE again, does it automatically go back

to 'add-ons' mode?



2. Problem exists even after resetting IE advance settings



3. AVG Free Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware vers 9.0.819 and Windows firewall-No

apps running when IE 8 installed.



No Norton/McAfree ever on this computer.

You might check the Adobe forums for a solution for someone else having a

similar problem.



A viable alternative to Adobe Reader is PDF-XChange Viewer

http://www.docu-track.com/product/downloads. It's free for home use, does

everything and more that Reader does, takes up fewer resources, and is

faster to load. I've used it for quite some time now and am very satisfied

with it. I am yet to have it lock up or cause problems in IE7 or IE8. And

you can beat the price

Does PDF-XChange Viewer have a built-in feature to 'bundle'several PDF files

into one file (unlike Adobe Reader) or willI still need separate spftware for

that?

Does 'Foxit' Viewer have a built-in feature to 'bundle'several PDF files

that?

[SC Tom]

According to the Help file, the Pro version (retail) allows dragging pages

from one PDF to another, then saving it, so I guess it could be done like

that. I didn't delve too deeply to see if there is any kind of page or size

limitation.

I don't know if Fox-it has that ability or not. I've used it, but liked

PDF-XChange viewer better. I don't remember exactly what they were, but

Fox-it had some quirks that I found irksome, so I uninstalled it.
