Browser comes up with pdf file location in address, but doesn't open the PDF file...

Hi,

When I click on a link to read a PDF file on the web my browser comes up with the pdf file location in address, but doesn't open the PDF file...

I think I have mapping problems... is that a virus? I have Norton AV

?Bill

PS I can copy the link into my opened PDF Reader 6.0 and it opens with the document...

Hello Bill

You need to turn on the "web integration" feature in Adobe Reader 6. To do this, do the following:

- From within acrobat, choose EDIT, PREFERENCES, INTERNET
- From the INTERNET screen, check the box for "Display PDF in Browser" and click OK
- Exit all instances of Internet Explorer, try a pdf link again.

Thanks

Actually.. I think I had tried to install the full version of Acrobat 5 a while ago and it errored out.. so it may have reassigned something in the registry???

What do you think?

bcarlis, before you installed 6, did you completely uninstall 5 ?
