Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

I am having the exact same issue and I am at a loss as to what I should do.

Thanks

I just upgraded to MOSS 2007 this weekend and am now having the same EXACT

noticed a very similar problem opening PDF documents as well.


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
