Converter failed to save file

I've recently installed Office 2007 Enterprise package and can no longer read
pdf files either directly from a web site or in an email from another PC.
There seem to be several references to this issue on Google but no-one seems
to have a definitive answer.

Can anyone help please?

Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say *exactly*?

Hi JoAnne,

yes when I try and open the pdf I get the dialogue box: File download and
the prompt: "Do you want to open or save the file".

If I open the file I get a new dialogue box saying :
"The converter failed to save the file"

If I save the file and try and open it from My Documents the same thing
happens.


Thanks

I don't understand what converter it's trying to use. Dumb question: When
you try to open the file, what program starts to open?

Don't waste any more time. The definitive answer is to re-install
Adobe Reader (available free of charge) and this will solve all
your problems. the download link is here:

Or in the US if you want to download and install that bloated product -
http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO

I prefer Foxit reader which is a lot smaller, faster and seems to work just
as well as adobe reader

And you are just showing what kind of a disturbed person you actually are in
your "censored" post. I have said in the past that you do sometimes give
good advice, as you originally did in this case, but your adolescent and
libelous attitude to someone who says anything you disagree with or who
supports properly licensed software, not pirated, doesn't help anyone, just
hurts usenet in general. I know that I probably will never see you in
person, which does not hurt my feelings, but if I ever find out who you are
and can prove it, I will be seeing you in a court of law. I have the
evidence right on the internet that can't be deleted. Straighten up your
act.

Not to mention being a nymshifter and not particularly astute. He's left
enough info about if someone was to look around a bit.
