I'm using Adobe Reader 7.09 and Explorer 7. I've got adobe reader configured to open pdf pages in my browser but each time I try to open a pdf page from the internet, I get the pop-up box asking me if I want to save the file to disk? Reader doesn't open the file. I have to save it to disk then open from the disk. I checked and rechecked to make sure I have the box checkmarked to "open in browser" and it is. Still no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mike

Try doing a Repair of your Reader installation under the Help menu. If this doesn't work you can also try re-registering Pdf.ocx file for Internet Explorer.
Here are the steps (taken from the following technical support note):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=325875&sliceId=11. Quit Internet Explorer and the Acrobat product.

2. Choose Start > Run.3. Type the following text in the box to unregister the Acrobat product, and then click OK:

regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader[or Acrobat]\ActiveX\pdf.ocx"

4. Click OK.

5. Choose Start > Run.6. Type the following text in the box to reregister the Acrobat product, and then click OK:

regsvr32 "c:\program files\adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader[or Acrobat]\ActiveX\pdf.ocx"

7. Click OK.
