If you've recently upgraded to Adobe 9/ Acrobat Reader 9 or Mozilla Firefox 3.0, you might find that opening a PDF file in your internet browser is not as easy as it used to be. If new updates are not available for these programs, here is a fix:.
In adobe 9 (or Acrobat Reader 8-9)
Go to edit>preference>internet
Uncheck the "Display PDF in browser" option
Press OK button and exit the program
PDF's should now open in Adobe Reader
Mozilla Firefox 3.0
Go to Tools>Options
In the "Main" tab, click on "Manage Options"
The add-ons display will open, click on Plugins>Acrobat Reader>Disable
Close add-ons > click OK on the options display > You should now have
the option to either open PDF's in Acrobat Reader or download the file.
