oh my mistake, I should mention Adobe Reader for iOS instead of Acrobat App. the question / problem still remains though.
now I'm trying to open this page in iOS: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5257E.pdf
however it is failing to open and returning this error:
"To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF Viewer. You can upgrade to the latest versions of Adobe Reader from ww.adobe.cm/products/acrobat/readstep2.html . For further support go to www.adobe.com/support/acrreader.html."
I have the latest version and then when I open it in Adobe Reader via Safari "Open in..." link, it still continues to show the same error. possibly Safari is not loading / rendering the document properly.
now if Adobe Reader for iOS had a browser built into it, like some other document apps have, I could've by-passed Safari altogether and try and open this document directly in the Adobe Reader for iOS app.
for now, I'm unable to do it through my iPad and can only open this on a computer, which I don't have.
you would be able to understand this issue if you try and open this link in an iPad with Adobe Reader app.
I hope I'm able to get through with my issue clearly this time.
thanks for your reply and regards.
