I have found a link to an Acrobat PDF document I want to read but my computer hangs when I click on the link. What should I do?


We recommend in this situation, rather than use the Acrobat "plug in" in the web browser, you use a separate Acrobat reader. To do this

  • right-click / command-click on the link to the PDF and select Save link as...  in order to download PDF file to your computer
  • Open the local copy of the file using Acrobat
