Adobe PDF Plug In Listed at Top of Welcome Box Didn't Work
Posted: 2007 May 17, 07:32
I installed xplorer2 pro for the first time.
It installed without problems.
I saw the screen with recommended downloads and immediately started at the top with the PDF downloads. Things went downhill quickly.
I downloaded the Adobe ifilt41.exe file.
The install would not complete. It said the install required Windows NT 4.0. I have Win 98 SE. I thought there must be another version of ifilt41.exe for 98 but could not find one anywhere. Knowing Adobe, they probably just removed it and left one for NT.
I found a file infilt50.exe and tried it. The install bombed with a error 119, ComponentMovedata had the following error and referred to pdffilt.dll. I had no such file on my system.
I tried installing infilt60.exe from Adobe. The program installed without difficulty. In my experience with Adobe products, older ones consistently work better than newer ones. I started not to even try 6.0.
At this point I have two alternative sets of symptoms. With Adobe Acrobat, version 5.1. preferences, options, web browser options, display PDF in browser checked, when I try to preview a pdf document, I see only an small icon in the upper left hand side with two blue dots and one red dot.
With display PDF in browser unchecked, when I click normal to view a PDF document, I get a message þyour security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded.þ I have set all my IE security levels to low, turned off my firewall and proxy. I am viewing only local pdf files.
I have set all my security settings to low, turned off my firewall, turned off my proxy, but always get this message.
Does anybody know what these symptoms mean?
Does anyone know there I could find a infilt41 that works with Win 98.
