Why does if(win==null || win.closed) return true after one PDF is open.
Something very wierd going on with IE 6. I also get a member not
found error if a child window is already open. This script works fine
if the child window contains HTML, just not a PDF. Ideas? Note: These
are not my PDFs, I just found some on the Net so you could test.
