Since I installed Adobe Reader 6.0, pages won't load PDF
files. In the site below, it states this new version
doesn't have the PDFViewer plug-in and that it needs to
be configured.

I have been trying to no avail to configure as stated
below, but can't even seem to find how to do the first
step:
1. Start IE, and choose Explorer > Preferences.

I can't find PREFERENCES anywhere! I just can't seem to
find out how to configure.

Help!

Many thanks,
Irene

Note: Acrobat 6.0 and later products don't include the
PDFViewer plug-in, which allows you to view PDF files
from within a browser window. Instead, you must configure
IE to use the Acrobat product as a helper applications.


Configuring Internet Explorer to Use Adobe Reader or
Acrobat as a Helper Application

If you configure IE to use Adobe Reader or Acrobat as a
helper application, IE starts the application and
displays the PDF files within the Adobe Reader or Acrobat
window.


To configure IE to use Adobe Reader or Acrobat as a
helper application:
1. Start IE, and choose Explorer > Preferences.
2. Under Receiving Files, click File Helpers.
3. In the File Helper Settings pane, select Portable
Document Format, click Change, and then click OK.
4. If Portable Document Format isn't listed, click Add,
and then proceed with the following steps:
a. In the File Type text box, type PDF and type a space
after the "F."
b. In the Creator text box, type CARO
c. In the Encoding section, select the following options:
-- Select Binary
-- Use For Incoming
-- Use For Outgoing
d. In the Download Destination section, choose the
location in which to save PDF files from the Download
menu.
e. In the Handling Section, choose View with Application
from the How to Handle menu.
f. If the Acrobat product name doesn't appear next to
Application, click Browse, select the Acrobat application
file, and then click Open.
g. Click OK.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.


Downloading a PDF File to Your Hard Disk

You can download a PDF file to your hard disk rather than
opening it from within IE. After you download a PDF file
to your hard disk, you can copy text in the file,
distribute the file, or save it to another disk.


To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Control-click the link to a PDF file, and choose
Download Link To Disk from the context menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, specify a location on the
hard disk, and then click Save.

Knowing your Windows version would be of immense help, Irene.

Acrobat Reader contains that dialog. Start the application and Press Ctrl-k
(It's now apparently in the Edit menu.) E.g. there is an Internet tab which
allows you to set Web Browser Options.

BTW don't overlook the Acrobat Reader Help tool. Press F1
and use its Index or Search tabs.
