    viewing pdf files

    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

    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

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

                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.
