Troubleshooting on Using Cute PDF Reader
1. PDF pages don't appear in the Cute PDF window
In your Internet Explorer, click options, programs and manage to add –ons. Find Adobe PDF reader and then click disable and enable. Restart the computer and the Cute PDF reader should open the file correctly.
If that doesn't work, there might be a problem with Adobe PDF Reader itself. So, open the program and click repair. Restart your system and Cute PDF should open again.
2. The download box appears when opening a PDF
There is a simple fix for this and it is all to do with the preferences in Adobe. There is no reason to download any file before you open it. Open Adobe Reader, click edit>preferences>Internet. You must make sure that "Display in browser" is checked. Click ok and PDF files will open normally.
3. When printing, the pages appear shrunken
This is a problem with your printer, not with Cute PDF. When you click print properties, make sure that you select none, not shrink to printable area under page scaling.
