(Win XP, IE 6, Foxit Reader 2.2b2129)
I'm currently enrolled to use "paperless credit card statements" (pdf files from my credit card's web site) and I don't really care to download and permanently save the pdf file, I'd rather just view it long enough to reconcile the account, and then just close it.
When I click on the link...
javascript:GoToPDFPage("https://www100.americanexpress.com/myca/estatement/pdf/action?request_type=authreg_StatementPDF", "0", "en_US", "0");
...for a particular statement, a standard Windows dialog appears: Do you want to open or save this file? (Open, Save, Cancel).
If I click the open button, Windows downloads the file and then starts Foxit Reader.
Foxit Reader doesn't display the document, instead it gives the following error: C:\Documents and Settings\.....\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\...\Statement_Aug 2007(1).pdf Coundnot open file. File not found. (OK).
When I click OK to this message, Foxit Reader closes and I'm returned to viewing the web site again.
If I click the same website link as before and select Save instead of Open, a Windows Save As dialog appears. If I click Save, the download dialog shows the progress and alerts me that the download is complete (Open, Open Folder, Close). If I select Open, then Foxit reader opens the document and displays it no problem.
How can I fix the interaction between Foxit Reader and IE 6 so that I don't necessarily have to save a pdf file in order to view it? At least, how do I go about troubleshooting this?
Thanks,
