Acrobat DC 20 how Prevent PDF's opening in Internet Explorer (IE)

Hi there

We are sorry for the trouble. As described you want to stop the PDFs getting open in IE and you have already defined file associations of PDF /PDX / PDFXML with Acrobat.

Pleae try the following steps and see if that works for you .

1. Open Internet Explorer, and choose Tools > Manage Add-ons.
2. Under Add-on Types, select Toolbars and Extensions.
3. In the Show menu, select All Add-ons.

4. In the list of add-ons, select Adobe Acrobat/ Reader.

5.Click Disable to turns off the add-on so it does not open PDFs in the browser.

For more information please take a look at the help page Display PDF in browser Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat Reader

Let us know how it goes

Regards

Amal
