Could you please save the page with the link to the PDF as "web page, complete"
and attach it to this bug?

I am using the build from 20020430 on win98 and Acrobat 5.00. I went to:
http://www.blackboard.com/
selected the link under Bp Learning
and then selected the Orientation Center link
Selected the link to Read the 4-Star Review

The acrobat plug-in started up and the PC Magazine article displayed within the 
browser window

Can you point us to another location on that site that does not work?

Mail from Robert:

Found out that nppdf32.dll was not inside mozilla's
plugin  folder.  Once placed there, error is fixed.
