internet explorer & pdf

[Peter Morris]

When a website has a link to a pdf document, I used to be able to
click on it and open the document in Explorer. I can't get that to
work anymore. How do I configure my system to allow it?

Is it possible in Mozilla Firebird?

I had the same problem. The work around was to save the pdf file, then it
would work. The solution is to cofigure acrobat reader 6.0: Shut down IE,
Start Adobe Reader, Choose Edit Preferences, Select Internet in the list on
the left, Deselect Display PDF in Browser, and click OK. Restart IE. Does
this help.
