There have been reports of problems with the new 6.0 Adobe Acrobat Reader. I first spotted a complaint from John Dvorak (PC Magazine, September 7, 2004) , but then, he's always complaining about something! I paid more attention when I recently saw comments on Web4Lib .
Note that the problem reported are with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, not the full Standard or Professional editions.
For some possible solutions, see Acrobat 6 Help from the University of Connecticut Libraries. Saving the file to your hard drive, then opening from there seems to be a fairly common solution. When I've seen similar problems, I've changed the setting for Adobe Acrobat to open in the browser window, and have it open in Adobe Acrobat instead. (To do that, go to preferences - Internet and de-select "Display PDF in brower." )
