When clicking on a link within our Website, the PDF results go to my download folder. To view my PDF results, I am required to go to my Adobe Reader and open that corresponding PDF file. It would be great if I could simply view the PDF on the screen without having to go to Adobe Reader (v. 10.1.4). Thanks for any assistance or guidance on this issue.

Hello,

Check your PDF settings at:

  • Tools (or New Fx Menu) > Options > Applications

It might be set to "Save", change it to "Preview in Firefox" or any other alternative of your choice.

Let us know if that solves your issue!
