I cannot open files embedded in a pdf file when I click on them as they appear on a webpage. I am trying to open pdfs embedded in a pdf document at http://www.surfsidebeach.org/agenda-2013.html. None of the embedded pdfs will open. They will, however, open in Internet Explorer. Is there a fix for this?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

This looks like a limitation of Firefox's built-in PDF viewer. To switch to Adobe's viewer (or the other viewer of your choice), see the steps in this article: View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer. Does that work?
