Check Library Advanced settings....are any of them set to open in client application rather than browser?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We are running Sharepoint 2010 and have multiple sites under the main site - for each of our departments. They are all running under the same location/site in IIS. We have PDFs loaded into our document libraries. On some of the sites, the PDFs open and view fine - while others force you to Save the file when opening. I know that changing the Web Application option from Strict to Permissive should do the trick because I did this when we first installed to get it to work - and it was fine. What I can't figure out is why some of these sub-sites will open PDFs and others will not - when this is a global setting. I'm not extremely skilled in the Sharepoint setup - so I may be missing something easy. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.<br />

Opening a PDF in Sharepoint

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
