After you've followed these
instructions, when you're using your browser and
click on a hyperlink to a .pdf document, it will open in a separate window.
Note:
By removing the web browser integration, you will no longer be able to link from your document to other items on the internet. You will still be able to follow the internal document links.
If you've modified your Reader preferences but are still having problems you can download the .pdf file onto your computer:
When you're at a hyperlink to the .pdf file but haven't yet opened it:
Microsoft Internet Explorer: Right click on the hyperlinked .pdf file name and select "Save Target As". Save the file in a directory of your choice, then access it with your Reader.
Netscape: Right click on the hyperlinked .pdf file name and select "Save Link As". Save the file in a directory of your choice, then access it with your Reader.
When you've already opened the .pdf file
Microsoft Internet Explorer: In your Web Browser's toolbar, select "file" and then "Save As". Save the file in a directory of your choice, then access it with your Reader.
Netscape: In your Web Browser's toolbar, select "file" and then "Open Page". In the menu box, select "Choose File" and save the file in a directory of your choice. Make sure the file specification says "All Types". Access the file with your Reader.
