I have recently installed Acrobat Professional 8.1 on my computer. After the installation I deleted Acrobat Reader as it seemed to be a waste of space when I have the Professional version. O now have problems opening pdf files in the IE browser as the pdf file type is "not recognized." I have no problems when I double-click on a pdf file on my computer.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0999999999999996447286321199499070644378662109375, Windows

Hi reidarbb,

See this Adobe Knowledge Base article for how to configure the browser to view PDF files-
[url=http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333544&sliceId=2]http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333544&sliceId=2[/url]Adobe Reader and Acrobat share some functionality that may have been removed when you deleted Reader after installing Acrobat Pro. Adobe does not recommend (nor support) having both Reader and Acrobat installed on one system.

Hope that helps,
