But for sampling, I think it is exactly the wrong way to do it. Either offer a straight pdf download, or offer half the text in html or prc, and ask for payment for the rest...
What I did was I saved the file before ever opening it via ctrl-click:save file as. Then, when I opened in Acrobat, I told it not to open in full screen and had it remember the settings. No problems that way, and I can sample them at my own leisure.
