Re: Can't open pdf files

When i look for foxit can't find it i downloaded Dafizilla ViewSourceWith and when i try to read pdf i get this message

Sorry...

We are unable to display the PDF for your bill dated 18/09/09. This could be due to the following reasons :

* The bill is from a period before you registered for My Bill
* The bill is older than 6 months – we only keep 6 months of bills for you to see online. If you need a copy of an earlier bill, please contact Customer Care

Re: Can't open pdf files

If 'My Bill' is a service that you're using, contact their customer support to find out why a bill from September is not being displayed.

Foxit Reader (freeware) - http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader

Open Firefox and go to Tools > Options > Applications tab and scroll down to the PDF entry. Click the small triangle on the right to open the dropdown menu, then select 'Use Other' and direct it to Foxit Reader or whichever other PDF reader you want to use.

Re: Can't open pdf files

You can keep Adobe Reader if you think you'll need it again, but you're probably better off removing it and sticking with Foxit which does the same job and uses less system resources.
