adobe acrobat reader not working on internet explorer

If all else fails then I discovered that the built-in pdf reader has an action button that will allow download of the document. This was apparently a bug in the past but supposedly had been fixed. It would certainly be nice if FF fixed the built-in viewer so that it obeyed the options settings, or included some other easy fix. Firefox does not like the Acrobat 9.4 plugin, so I'm not sure that I will be able to get this to work on my machine with Acrobat 9.4. With this I can now click on a pdf link in the browser and have it open externally in Acrobat.Īt least this worked for the one PC that I got to work, which has Acrobat 10 and an Acrobat 10 plugin. What I had to do was two things:ġ) In the config file I had to set pdfjs to true, as detailed in the above kb link Simply setting the options for pdfs to open in Acrobat does not work - I already had checked this setting to make certain that it pointed to Acrobat for pdfs.

However it takes some doing to be able to use Acrobat to view the files externally. Thank you for letting me know about the built-in pdf reader in FF19.
