The company I work for has a specific audience that requires functionality in Acrobat Pro. This audience accesses these PDF document on our intranet using IE6 and uses some of Pro functionality (highlight, stick notes) and saves the annotaction files locally. All that worked well with Acrobat Pro 6.0, but we recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro 8 and all these users are seeing is basic functionality, similar to what is in Reader. NO more annotation features.

I have verified and Reader is not installed on these workstation, a clean install of Acrobat Pro 8 is installed. If I open a PDF outside of IE6, Pro opens and all the functionality is there, but in IE6 it is limited (Reader Like)

Has Adobe changed the functionality of Adobe Pro to only allow in browser viewing of documents with something like Adobe reader? I have searched the web and have seen nothing about this. Please help.

This functionality exists in Acrobat 8 but you'll need to send your PDFs out for a Shared Review or Browser Review in order to trigger the capability. Try using either of these commands under the Comments menu and then opening the PDF in the browser, where you'll see the additional toolbars.
