Topic: Acrobat External Window handler

Hi,

I am facing a problem when I try to open more than 2 PDF files in Internet Explorer. When I try to open 2 or more PDF files without closing the first open browser i get an Acrobat plug-in error "Could not find Acrobat External Window Handler".

The error occurs randomly and I have seen this error pop up only in Acrobat Ver 5.0 and IE ver 5.x.

If I use Acrobat 4.05c it gives an error "An Internal error has occurred".

It just shows a dialog box with this error and an OK button. If I click OK and say refresh the PDF is displayed.

The problem occurs only when I try to open the PDF within the browser window. If I use Acrobat as a helper application it does not give this error. But it pops up the annoying "open/Save As" dialog box.

Is there any solution for this problem or is it a bug in IE or Acrobat. Please help.

Thanks
Sundar
