Good morning,

I would greatly approciate you help in this issue I am having.

I am in hte process of creating a PC image utilizing Windows 7 SP1 and Acrobat v9.0.0 which I will update to 9.4.2 once I have resolved my problem.

For ou purpose, the pdf file needs to open within the browser using either Firefox 4.0 or IE 9, and it doesn't it opens a separate window to display the pdf file. I made sure that the "display pdf in browser" option is selected under the Acrobat preferences, I uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat 9.0.0 to no avail, then I even tried to re-format and re-install windows 7 before re-installing Acrobat 9.0.0 but still the pdf file is not opening within the browser.

If you could point me in the right directino, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

John

Acrobat 9.0 is not Win 7 compatible. Acrobat 9.4.x is very likely incompatible with IE9 and Firefox 4 since they were created after Acrobat X was released.

Thank you for such a quick reply Michael,

I will see if I can obtain the Acrobat 10.
