PDF files blank when opened

I have Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1501 with the Adobe Reader 8
installed. I am having a problem opening some PDF files. They come up
blank. Most of the PDF files I receive I am able to open. I installed Adobe
Reader 8.1 with the same result.

Why are these attachments blank (even if I save them & try to open) and what
can I do to see the information sent?

Download a freeware program "Foxit Reader" it is far less bulky, and will do
all that "Adobe Reader" will, plus more & it intergrates well with all
browser.
Maybe the ones you cannot open are being sent by someone using Foxit!!!!!!

Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

Bob, Foxit is good for most things and while this might not apply to this
user, it may apply to others. If a user is in the habit of attaching PDF
files in Quicken, you cannot use Quicken's encrypt function to encrypt those
PDFs if you use Foxit. In fact, because of a bug in Quicken, you can't use
Adobe Reader 8 or beyond for that function either, at least not up to
Quicken version 2006.
