Hi

I am getting this message when I try opening a PDF file from the Internet using a terminal session ( thin client "Capio" from Boundless)"Could not find Acrobat External Windows Handler".

I went on the Adobe web site and found the document # 326299 but it did not work. I tried all solutions.

Does anyone have a fix ?

Thank you

I had the same problem. There were 2 copies of ewh32.api in the adobe plug-in folder, one in upper case and the other in lower case.
Go to find files and look for ewh32.api if there are 2 copies in the folder delete the one in lower case. If the file is missing reinstall the reader.
 
Went to the Adobe plug in folder and there was only a file named ewh32 - no dot anything (.api) so now what? XP here... uninstalled adobe 4.0 when 5.0 came out "could not find external windows handler" ever there after.
