Hope someone can help me with this.

Yesterday I fried my XP and have gone to an old Dell Optplex with Windows 2000 SP4. I downloaded Adobe Acrobat but I can't open PDF files either by opening them directly or by saving them to my desktop and then trying to open them.

I get the following error message: invalid character in the given encoding, line 2 position 2. I can open these PDF files on my husband's computer and I could open these same files on my XP before I blew it up. Why can't I open them on this computer?

Thanks in advance
LoriTry Google--->FOXIT.Thanks for the suggestion.

I downloaded Foxit Reader but that didn't do anything.

I know the PDFs aren't corrupt because I can open them on another computer so it has to be something in this ONE that is keeping acrobat from opening them. Any idea what it could be?

Forget my last post - Foxit Reader is ACTUALLY working. The pdf files are opening and they look great.

Thanks for the tip. It WORKED and I am back in business.
