We are currently using microsoft's sharepoint 2003 software to view some engineering forms created in Adode. We Have two problems. The first is that sharepoint will not open/edit a PDF file in ACROBAT directly and we have to use what sharepoint refers too as EXPLORER VIEW. A few more step, but, works OK on a local workstation. My second problem and what I'm writing this question on is when we log onto the network via REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION ( internally or external to the company ) all we're able to activiate is Adobe Reader. I've renamed the Adobe Reader and still sharepoint opens up the Reader. I can not get Adobe Acrobat to open using the same procedure we follow when we're local. The file type in Window's Explorer is set to open Abode Acrobat for PDF files. Any ideas?
Adobe Technical Support does not recommend having multiple versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on the same machine. Acrobat and Adobe Reader have numerous components that have similar functionality and can cause conflicts on a machine.
I would recommend reviewing our interoperability product guide for further details and information:
