It was an online download not saved to disc
I have deleted all my temporary internet files
"Are you using Adobe Reader for your PDF files? Is it working right? You can open it and then open PDF files OK?"
Yes, yes and yes!
I am using dopdf to convert my files to pdf to send
"EXACTLY what setting are you talking about? Where is it?"
Increase the length for server time-outs In express
On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
Select the account, and then click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, in the Server Timeouts area, move the slider to the right.
The problem is only when I send pdf files in express - no problem if I send them with online mail
The problem can't be with the dopdf printer as files converted with it go OK with online mail. I even tried other pdf creators to see if the same thing happened in express - and it did!!
