erpdude8 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 @Andromeda43: If you liked Foxit Reader, you'll adore SumatraPDF. The latest versions of SumatraPDF are wonderful and they even load faster than the latest version of Foxit Reader and Adobe Reader.btw, Firefox has a built-in PDF viewer starting with Firefox 19.

mikep56 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Guys and Gals,Sorry that I was away from this for a while; there were other things more pressing to take care of.Anyway the problem is solved. I installed Sumatra PDF as recommended by erpdudeB and GrofLuigi. The problem was persisting, but then I checked under Tools, Add-Ons, and I had PDFDownload 3.0.0.2 also installed. I changed the settings for "When Opening PDF Files" from "Use this viewer", which was pointing to Adobe Acrobat 7, to "Use PDF Plug-In". and now the browser opens the pdf link in it's own window.Thanks for all the help from all of the forum members.Regards,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I found an old mail while cleaning a mailbox at work that was talking about "the problem..." opening PDF files in IE on PCs with Adobe Acrobat 6 installed. Clearly the culprit. Glad it is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
