Question

How to view PDF on Internet Explorer 11

I have a new computer - Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, running Internet Explorer 11.  I have the Adobe Reader 32 bit and 64 bit add on enabled.  I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (1.0.07).  I have my Internet Explorer options set to "Always Open Pop Ups in a New Tab", and "Open Links From Other Programs" is set to "The Current Tab or Window".  Some of my programs will generate a report as a PDF file.  When I open the report, I want it to open in a new tab in the current window (which I have always done with my old computer).  With this computer, the PDF opens in the stand alone Adobe Reader, and not in Internet Explorer.  Does anyone know how to make this PDF file open in a new tab using Internet Explorer 11 and Adobe Reader XI?

I have already tried this - as I mentioned in the original post, I have the Adobe Reader plug-in installed and enabled in Internet Explorer 11.  This did not solve the issue.

I had this happening with IE11 recently; repairing IE fixed the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/ie_performance_and_safety
