Open Acrobat automatically when a pdf is created in InDesign

It used to happen automatically. As soon as I created a pdf in InDesign, it would either launch Acrobat and open the pdf or, if Acrobat was already launched, it would simply open the pdf.
It no longer does that and I cannot find the way to make it happen again. It was WONDERFUL!
Please help.

In the Export Adobe PDF menu in InDesign (assuming you're using this method to create PDFs from InDesign) there is a checkbox to "View PDF after Exporting" that you need to check.
