How to Check Browser Settings When Starting Adobe Reader

PDF files can be uploaded, viewed and downloaded directly from websites. To view these PDF files, you must have a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader installed on your computer. Adobe Reader gives you the option of viewing PDF files found on websites directly in your Web browser. If you notice the PDF files are not opening in your default Web browser, the problem can most likely be fixed by checking the browser settings in Adobe Reader.

Instructions

1. Begin by downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. Visit the Adobe website and click the "Download" button to download and install Adobe Reader.

2. Exit all Web browsers and open Adobe Reader.

3. Click "Edit," then "Preferences." A window will appear.

4. Choose "Internet" from the "Categories" box on the far left side of the window. The "Web Browser Options" window will open.

5. Click the "Display PDF in browser" box if there is no check mark in that box to view PDF files in your Web browser. There should be check marks in the other two "Web Browser Options" boxes as well.

6. Click "OK" to close the Adobe Reader window.
