Acrobat xi and adobe reader xi do not include a preference setting to open web-based pdfs. to change the display behavior, follow the instructions below for your browser, or see the browser documentation on how to control plug-ins or add-ons.. Configure the browser to open pdf files in an acrobat window if you want the browser to open pdf files in a separate acrobat window, configure it to use acrobat or adobe reader as a helper application.. When trying to view/open a pdf on a website, i was getting the following message: "the adobe acrobat/reader that is running cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser. adobe acrobat/reader version 8 or 9 is required.".
When you install acrobat or adobe reader on a system that includes a browser, you automatically configure the browser to open pdf files within the browser window. acrobat and adobe reader install activex plug-in files that allow you to use internet explorer or aol to open pdf files.. I can open pdf files from weblinks directly with adobe reader set via the preferences to not open in a browser window (opens in an acrobat reader window), and separately i can open in a browser window if i uninstall google toolbar.. Do everything you can do in acrobat reader dc, plus create, protect, convert, and edit your pdfs. only with adobe acrobat reader you can view, sign, comment on, and share pdfs for free. and when you want to do more, subscribe to acrobat pro dc. then you can edit, export, and send pdfs for signatures.
