Hi,
I am using Acrobat Reader 7 with IE 6.0 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 and am

Cheers

I am using Acrobat Reader 6 with IE 6 and Windows 2000 Professional.
Opening a PDF from Synergy I got this message:
"This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does
not support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe recommends that
you upgrade ..."
Please comment.
