PDF viewing problems

From: littlegreenmen on 8 Apr 2006 00:46 I've tried posting my problem in the Adobe forum, but have not received much help (the macromedia forum has always seemed to be more helpful and responsive), and I'm really hoping someone here can help me out. I created some pdfs with acrobat professional 7 on a mac. they are 2 pages long. the first page has some pictures and the 2nd page is just text. the pdfs were created from 2 png files (1 png file per page). I can view the pdf just fine locally from a computer. I uploaded them to a pdf folder on my website. I created links to the pdfs. The links work great. They go right to the correct pdf like the should. They even open in a new window like they should. My problem is two-fold. About half the time opening from the website crashes my browser (either IE or Firefox on windwos XP; the links work great in Safari running on OS X 10.4). I've tried using Adobe reader 6 and 7 and get the same error with each. (sometimes I get the following error message from acrobat reader 'The instruction at ?0x2d828acd? referenced memory at ?0x00000008?. The memory could not be ?read?.'). The other half of the time it doesn't crash but it will only display the 2nd page (the pure text page). If i go back and reopen the pdf sometimes it works, other times if i click on page 2 then back to page 1 of the pdf it will display correctly. I thought I wasn't giving it enough time to load so I let it sit for about 5 or 6 minutes which is plenty of time for a 700k file. I am able to view other pdfs from other websites just fine. Is there something in Dreamweaver, some kind of code that I need to have so the pdfs will display properly? I thought it was just a link and as long as the pdf file was working it would display properly. I have looked on Macromedia's forum, Adobe's forum, and google and haven't had any luck. Any help on resolving my dilema would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The first one on the list froze Acrobat and FireFox. I think the PDF file itself is corrupt - how did you create these?
