What if I receive an error window indicating there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader when attempting to open a PDF?
If you click ‘OK’ the Adobe Reader will continue to open the form, but to eliminate this from occurring there is a setting that you need to change within Adobe Reader that allows Adobe Reader to open the PDF directly in the Reader and not in your existing browser window. Depending on your version you will need to make the following change to Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader 4.0: File > Preferences > General > uncheck ‘Web Browser Integration’ Adobe Reader 5.0: Edit > Preferences > Options > uncheck ‘Display PDF in browser’ Adobe Reader 5.0 (Standard): Edit > Preferences > General > Options > uncheck ‘Display PDF in browser’ Adobe Reader 6.0/7.0: Edit > Preferences > Internet > uncheck ‘Display PDF in browser’ Adobe Reader 8: Edit > Preferences > Internet > uncheck ‘Display PDF in browser’ Close the Window and try to open the PDF again.
