There are numerous things you require to mull over to solve this problem.

• Be convinced you have Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer, and that all pdf files are related with it.
• It's imperative to retain information that many of our Acrobat files are large, in some cases larger than 100 MB in size. If you have a slow network connection, these may be complicated to load.
• Occasionally the web server can be down or running slow. Best way to deal with this is to check back later.
• Another predicament particularly for computers with Microsoft Windows--is that Adobe has worked hard for "seamless integration" of Acrobat Reader with web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Sometimes, though, the integration is a little too flawless, resulting in the downloaded file not displaying, crashing the browser or crashing the computer.
