Hi Timbow
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:
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:
