If you are using Internet Explorer 7 and encounter problems displaying PDF files in Westlaw you will be able to fix the problem in several ways.

I. Use the control-key (marked "Ctrl" on most PC keyboards) when clicking on the link for the PDF file

If this will not work for you then

II. Change the security of the trusted sites to "Medium-Low" in IE7 by following these steps:

1. In Internet Explorer, go to the "Tools" drop down box (upper right hand corner). From the drop down box, select "Internet Options."
2. Next, select Security tab at the top of the Internet Options box and then make sure the Internet icon is highlighted.
3. Drag the slider under the "Security level for this zone" to "Medium-low". Click the "OK" button and exit the "Internet Options".
