PDF's + IE 6=Lock ups. Okaaaay...

This is a discussion about PDF's + IE 6=Lock ups. Okaaaay... in the Windows Software category; IE6 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 5. 0 don't seem to like each other. Some PDF files are unable to be read and lock IE up. Others work fine, but the problem happens too often to make a strong case for corrupted PDFs.

I am running IE6 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 and haven't had any problems. Are the PDF's you are trying to read, created with a really old version of Adobe Acrobat?

OP
I don't think so. AMD's documents give me trouble, as well as the GeForce FAQ, despite that it's updated regularly. I'm under the assumption that they would use a recent version to write their PDF's.
Some sites will do it, other's don't give me a single problem.

Never had this problem, however i have a different one with IE and acrobat.
If I want to print a page using acrobat printer driver, IE and acrobat crashes miserably and i loose about 50-100 MB to no mans land. It is fine when i reboot. but a bit annoying. I think it might have something to do with page margins but it is not terribly important for me to go around hunting solutions.
If anybody else have the same issue i would like to hear your solution though!
