Hi Dan :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, IE browser
software defaults Acrobat Reader to "OFF" to display PDF files. You can
restore the setting to "ON" by finding an Acrobat document and then opening
it.

Then click Edit>Preferences>Internet>
Check the box next to "Display PDF in browser"

If still no joy, try the information here:

You can also try the free program here:
Foxit PDF Reader 1.2 build 0201
http://www.download.com/Foxit-PDF-Reader/3000-2079_4-10365812.html
It reads PDF's like Acrobat Reader, and is a very nice little utility. I
prefer to use this one as my default reader as there is less bloat and it
doesn't have soem of the problems AR does.

Hope this helps.
