I am having a problem whenever I want to view something that is in .pdf
format. My Adobe Acrobat reader loads and I immediately get an error box
that says "could not find colorspace C6 (or maybe it is CS6)" . I can't
view any photos or graphics that might have been in the document. For
instance...our local hospital posts photos of newborn babies on their
website and when I click to view, Adobe Acrobat opens and then I get that
message. All the places where the photos should be show up black. Any
suggestions? Thanks any and all. Oh...I updated by Adobe Acrobat, so I
know it isn't because I'm not running a newer version.
