Problem viewing a pdf file on net

[Aishaa]

Hi - I uploaded a pdf file to the net, but when I go to view it, a blank page shows up. Why?
When I converted it to pdf, I made sure it was converted to pdf for the web, and it looked fine, but not on the net. Can anyone tell me why this might be?
TIA

You can't actually view pdf files on the net, you have to download it and view through a viewer, typically Acrobat Reader. You must put the info online as HTML or as a picture (JPEG or GIF).

Bossco - I've viewed many a PDF in IE 5.0 and 5.5 although most of the time I choose to right-click them and save them for later viewing but you can view them directly in your browser and then save them if you want to.
Viewing them in your browser adds an extra toolbar with most of the Acrobat Reader functions on it.
