I cannot download any pdf file onto my computer.  I can view the file, but cannot download. When I try download the usual screen comes up asking whether I want to run or save the file.  I always click run and the download starts, but then the message comes up saying access denied.  I cannot print in the view mode or save onto my computer.  I used to be able to do this, but not I'm not able to with any pdf file, so there is no one corrupted file.  I receive many pdf files, so this is very irritating.  There is something wrong with my computer, but I have no idea.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Have you tried right clicking on the url on the browser you are using and saving directly to the disk?

    Thanks for replying. I still cannot open file once I save it to hard

    drive. The message that comes up is "There was an error opening file.

    Access denied" I saved it both ways, from the download box, and right

    clicking. Is there a problem with my computer?

    Does that only happen with PDF files?  Other downloads are ok?

    What is your operating system, b.t.w.?
