I developed a .net web page that had an embeded pdf file in it. On 7.0 I could view it fine in my IE 7 browser, I upgraded to 8.1 and it gives me access denied. Every machine that has 8.1 can't see it others can. Please help.

Hi rustywoods,

Certain modifications related to security were made to Acrobat 8 and are probably affecting your ability to embed PDF in your web page. If your ASPX, page which is essentially running VBScript in a compiled project, has access to a local or network path on your machine or network then you'll experience security issues. Local files are considered very problematic when accessed from a PDF.

So, how do I get around it?

If it's a security issue with Acrobat 8, what do I do to make it viewable?
