Configuring 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 the browser to use Acrobat or
Adobe Reader as a helper application. Then, when you select
a PDF file in IE or AOL, the browser opens the PDF file in
an Acrobat window instead of the browser window.
To configure the browser to use Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Reader
6.0 to open PDF files:
1. Exit from IE or AOL.
2. Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
3. Choose Edit > Preferences.
4. Select Internet in the list on the left.
5. Deselect Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
6. Restart IE or AOL.
To configure the browser to use Acrobat 5.x or Acrobat
Reader 5.x to open PDF files:
1. Exit from IE or AOL.
2. Start Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
3. Choose Edit > Preferences > General.
4. In the Options section, deselect Display PDF in Browser.
5. Click OK, and then exit from Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
6. Restart IE or AOL.
Note: The next time you select a link to a PDF file, the
browser may prompt you to open or save the file. If you
choose to open the file, the browser opens the file in the
helper application that you specified. If you choose to
save the file, the browser downloads the file to the hard disk.
For more information about the general preferences in
Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, refer to the Acrobat Help.
Downloading a PDF File to Your Hard Drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a Web
page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the
ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open
and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have
Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save
Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your
hard drive, and then click Save.
