How can you force a pdf form to open in internet explorer? I would need this to happen every time the pdf is opened. Our new signature software only works when the document is opened in IE.

That's actually a question about Windows. Take a look at this KB article.

Acrobat may try to "steal" the file association back though when you update or repair. It may just be easier to put an IE shortcut on your desktop and drag the PDF file onto it when you want it to open in IE.

Thanks for your help. Somehow I thought that I could force a default program from inside of the PDF.
