Adobe open in IE?

hollisterco · 04-17-2005, 06:27 PM

I just upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Reader from 5 to 6. Now when I click a .pdf link it doesn't open the file in my IE anymore, I have to download it to open it. How do I get it to open in IE like it used to?

Thanks

Try going to [in Acrobat]: edit>preferences>options and check the 'display pdf in browser' box.

It is checked to display pdf in browser but it still doesn't work. I get a blank white screen with a little graphics icon in the top left of the screen.

BUT When I open Adobe separately, everytime I get this: Adobe PDF documents on the Web can be viewed inside Internet Explorer. However, this feature is currently disabled, and PDF documents on the Web will open in a separate window.

Would you like to enable this feature so you can view PDF documents in Internet Explorer?

So I click YES. Then I get:

Unable to Copy Netscape plugin. Please check your permission and apply the setting again

But I don't use Netscape and don't have it on my computer!

Please help!

Do a clean upgrade, uninstall your current version of Reader and download/install the latest version for WinMe.
