The problem ...Removing the plug ins is a good idea. The problem is that sites often put their juicy information in PDFs. In cases like newsletters, the decision makes sense. The newsletter writer through all of the effort into the layout and the PDF format gives you the ability for your web publication to be exactly like the printed version.<br /><br />PDF doesn't make sense for plain white papers which are best suited for a simple HTML type mark up.y-intercepthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389285761013186443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090403.post-1109364273778558322005-02-25T13:44:00.000-07:002005-02-25T13:44:00.000-07:00One thing you can do is remove the Acrobat plugin....One thing you can do is remove the Acrobat plugin. I don't know how to do this for IE, but in Firefox, go to your plugins folder (you can find where that is lots of places) and remove the file nppdf32.dll.

It's the worst thing I have ever seen.<br /><br />Now, I try to have PDF's only open in a new browser. Hoping against hope, that if they cause the person to crash, it will only take out that browser window.<br /><br />Worst than opening PDF's, I hate making and editing PDF's.
