Hi,
i have built a website for a client and linked a pdf file from a specific page, the pdf opens fine with internet explorer but when i try to open it using mozilla firefox i get nothing, any ideas as to what i might have done wrong?
oh, the website is www.rightmoveinsurance.com, just in case anyone wants to test it
thanks in advance for any answers
cheers

Click on the link properties and change the target field to read _blank then republish

Works fine for me in both IE7 and FF3

Re: viewing pdf files

do you think it could be a problem with my pc then?

Might not be a problem, maybe just a setting. I don't normally use FF so I can't tell you where to look, but check all your settings to see if something is blocking the file from your view.

Hi Sara,

Me think you need to install the latest Adobe reader on your Pc. and
check out the Firefox addon list whether Adobe reader is installed.

You still need to change the link properties to _blank though, then it will open in a new window.
