Works fine on my computer... Are both Adobe Reader and Windows Updates current? I had this issue on a book-keeper's computer... installed more recent version of Adobe Reader, and seemed to fix it.

Here at Notre Dame we have deposited a number of PDF files in a Fedora repository. Some of these PDF files are available at the following URLs: * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:1000793/ PDF1 * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:832898/P DF1 * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:999332/P DF1 * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:832657/P DF1 * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:1001919/ PDF1 * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:832818/P DF1 * http://fedoraprod.library.nd.edu:8080/fedora/get/CATHOLLIC-PAMPHLET:834207/P DF1 Retrieving the URLs with any browser other than IE works just fine. Unfortunately IE's behavior is weird. The first time someone tries to load one of these URL nothing happens. When someone tries to load another one, it loads just fine. When they re-try the first one, it loads. We are banging our heads against the wall here at Catholic Pamphlet Central. Networking issue? Port issue? IE PDF plug-in? Invalid HTTP headers? On-campus versus off-campus issue? Could some of y'all try to load some of the URLs with IE and tell me your experience? Other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well. -- Eric Lease Morgan University of Notre Dame (574) 631-8604
