Default Download Problem

Thnaks to all! I took Paul's two suggestions but unfortunately, no
effect! I probably should have been more specific - log onto:
http://c.mfcreative.com/pdf/trees/charts/1790.pdf

A pdf image of the 1790 Census form will appear. Then note the very
bottom center of the image. An toolbar image will appear very briefly
showing a Disc, Print, Up arrow, Down arrow, and a few other icons. It
appears so briefly that I can't capture a screen image but you will
understand my problem. Clicking on the Disk does nothing! Is there
possibly a preferences setting in Win7 that I should change? This did
not happen in XP.

happen with XP. Can someone explain why?

When you install Acrobat, there are a couple things you can do
in the Preferences

1) Disable Javascript in Acrobat PDF documents. It's probably
the default, but verify Javascript is disabled. This is a
security issue. There are twits on the web, who put up PDFs
with javascript malware inside.

2) In the Acrobat Preferences, disable viewing the PDF in the
browser window. This will encourage the Save dialog to pop up,
and you can specify where to save the file.

As for the particular web site, you could either post a link
to it, or take a screen snapshot of the lame toolbar in action.
There are picture hosting sites, like imageshack.us that
allow uploading pictures for sharing with others. Using the
picture, someone here may have seen what you're seeing now.
