Install the latest PDF reader.

Its ADOBE's fault.

I've had to put up with GPFs for the last few weeks every time I've tried to view a PDF - the latest update fixed it.

Just download Acrobat Reader -its free. I've never known PDFs to open straight in the browser they are always attachments (waits to be corrected?)
