acrobat reader

[Big D]

I relize may this question may not be be able to be answered in any
microsoft forum but hoping someone can give me some direction or come across
issue.

I am using acrobat reader on 200 machines. I am encountering an issue that
pops up a File Download box while attemptiong to open a pdf within a page.

I know how to fix but need to know how to resolve within the registry or
some other way of turning the setting off. The issue is a setting within
acrobat reader named "WeBrowser Inegration". I need to be able to turn off.
Below is how its done manually.

Solution 3: Disable Web Browser Integration
Adobe Acrobat 4.x
Close Internet Explorer.
Click START, click PROGRAMS, and open Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Click FILE, click PREFERENCES, and then click GENERAL.
Click to clear the WEB BROWSER INTEGRATION check box.
Close Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Restart Internet Explorer and return to the Web page again. This time you
will be prompted to open the PDF file.

This worked on my computers:

1. Open a CMD.EXE window.
2. Type assoc .pdf
Mine returns .pdf=AcroExch.Document
3. Use regedit to open HKCR\AcroExch.Document
Set BrowseInPlace, a REG_DWORD data type, to 0.

NOTE: I also had a HKCR\AcroExch.Document.7 that I did this to.

Possibly one issue I am running into is when I type the following command:

assoc .pdf


It returns "File association not found for extension"

I know acrobat reader is installed but do not think it has been associated.


My next question is how can I add the pdf as a association via command line?

assoc .pdf=AcroExch.Document
ftype AcroExch.Document="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
