At my office I need to Hyperlink my PDF documents which I open in Web browser such as IE8.0 or Mozilla Firefox etc.
But Adobe does not provide the Advanced Editing Tool when PDF is opened in Browser.
Is there any way I can use the toolbar in Internet Explorer.?
Please help me out ASAP.

When a PDF is opened within a web browser, one is using the 'Reader" plug in. Viewing a file through a web browser (reader) implies one is not the author and probably not authorized to modify the file. To edit the web based PDF, one needs to download the PDF, locally modify the PDF, and then repost the PDF to the web. An exception to this could be MicroSoft's SharePoint when SharePoint is configured to allow direct editing of the PDF file type. Note, SharrePoint is a web based collaborative product.
