Form posted to intranet does not open as pdf file

I have created a forms and posted to my company intranet using both acrobat and livecycle designer. When the link to the form is selected, in the web page it just opens in the browser window, which would be fine except that now my submit via email and print buttons don't work. They work perfectly when opening the pdf form directly. How do I link this form in a way that forces it open as an actual pdf file so that the submit and print buttons work. Or, what is it that prevents them from working in the browser window? I did search exhaustively the forums for an answer to this issue, but did not find anything similar. Thx for any help.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Windows

I think I just figured out my own issue.....I recently switched to google chrome. I just went to a different PC with Firefox and my submit and print buttons are visible and work fine. SO.....Wat's up with forms in Google Chrome??

Chrome has a built-in PDF viewer that doesn't fully support PDF forms. To disable it, in Chrome's address bar enter: chrome://plugins

and disable the Chrome PDF viewer.

Thanks George - Disabled the Chrome pdf viewer and that did it - and I also noticed that my Adobe Acrobat Plugin was disabled. I enabled it as well, and have the full pdf form functionality in my browser! Sweet!
