I have recently purchased a new HP Pavillion dv6 with Windows 7 installed whilst working in Malaysia.
I did not realise until I returned home it did not come with Office installed - only had the Office Starter 2010.
I can open some pdf's I have stored on my laptop with Adobe Reader but others I cannot (never had a problem opening them before I bought a new computer).
I get a message that I have to install or re-install a FileOpen plug-in. No matter how many times I install I still get the same message.
Other times (when I think I have sucessfully installed the plug-in) it comes up with "Drawing Error" or "Cannot find or create the font Arial-BoldMT."
So I check and then find Arial-BoldMT is not installed on my computer.
That was where I started thinking maybe the font didn't come with the Starter Pack and I would need to purchase Office.
So, I go on-line and that is where the second part of my problem arises.
I tried to purchase Office on the internet from Microsoft and because I am not located in the same country as my billing address (working in Malaysia / billing address in Thailand) it will not accept my credit card.
I have some very important pdf's I need to open and I am not due to return to Thailand for 1 month.
Can anyone assist with help on my first problem and advice on my second problem.
