Adobe Reader 9

[joe wallace]

This may sound insignificant, but whenever Adobe Reader opens a pdf document, the document is always opened in a new Adobe Reader window, rather than in the web browser (Internet Explorer 7). However, it works normally on other user accounts on my computer. Is anyone able to tell me how to get it back to normal on my own account?

Many thanks,

Joe Wallace

Your first mistake is that you are using IE instead of something much better, like Firefox. Firefox never has a problem opening pdfs inside of it.

All browsers will have problems opening PDFs if the settings tell them to open PDFs in a separate window. I don't have IE7 so I can't tell you the exact place to look, but there will be a setting within IE somewhere telling it whether or not to open PDFs within the browser.

Try right clicking and "open in new tab" or new window.

I have tested it on Firefox, but it doesn't load whatsoever (not even in an Adobe Reader window).

Try right clicking and "open in new tab" or new window. 

I have just tried that, but it opens a blank loading page which immediately disappears once the file has opened in Adobe Reader

I think this may be the problem, as it has only happened after I installed Foxit Reader - it must have changed a setting. I have uninstalled it, however, it will not go back to nomal. Also, Foxit Reader could not work in the browser. I have reset Internet Explorer, but it hasn't changed anything

IE8 is out.  Maybe that will solve it.
