We have all seen this. I wonder if there is a fix, or is it simply updating Adobe?

Please wait...

You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by

Open the document in Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat. Don't open the document in a browser.

I understand you can download it. But regardless of why, I want to open it in a browser. I have hundreds of PDFs on my PC. A small handful will not open in browser, but most will. There has to be a reason and that reason is what I want to know.

The most browsers can't display PDF forms created with LiveCycle Designer.
