Opening PDFs in Server 2003

[Guest maltman]

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but when my users try and

open a PDF from any of our terminal servers, they are not allowed to open it.

It pops up with the message for them to save the file. All of our terminal

servers are running Windows Server 2003. Has anyone encountered this and

know of a way around it? I was told that it has to do with Server 2003

blocking the pdf extension. If this is the case, is there no work around?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

I can't see how this is anything in Windows. What are they opening the PDF

*from* or *in* (e.g., the file system? web browser?) and what application &

version of PDF reader?

 

For TS use I always prefer to install Foxit Reader - Adobe's way too

bloated.
