Reading Adobe pages ( .pdf )

[Big Mac]

This is no big deal. I can read Adobe text files ( .pdf ) with the
Adobe reader I have (like everyone probably has).

But I did notice when I fired up the newest version of the Adobe
Reader that I just upgraded to (6..0.1 or something like that) that it
said that I could opt to read the Adobe text files with either
Netscape or Internet Explorer, as opposed to just using the Adobe
Reader to do this. However, I cannot find any setting in Internet
Explorer that would allow the reading of .pdf files from within
itself. I've even searched the help files and come up empty when
searching for either "pdf" or "Adobe".

Anyone have any insight into this?

If you know about file associations, try that. Add
Adobe to the IE file ass. If not, come back; I'm sure
someone will assist you.

Two settings to control this. One in each program. Setting in Adobe
Reader's preference to use/not use the browser plugin. Another setting
in Internet Explorer: Allow third party browser plugins.
