I think many of us prefer to have pdf's open in Adobe Reader, as a separate
program from Internet Explorer or from whichever Web browser we're using.

Al,
Not according to FS instructions. I do have them changed in IE on my pc
because I had already changed them before I got the email from Fs. So far
everything is working on two pc that I have made the changes on to IE. I
guess I would do FS suggestions and see if it works.

So, do I take it there is no need to do the things in IE you were talking
about?

in IE
Hi Group,
This morning I receive an email from FS support on how to make PDF files
open in a separate window in IE. Below is the instructions. They seem to be
a lot easier then what I sent out yesterday. I have not tried it as I got my
Adobe working with the instructions I gave you yesterday. So if you try FS
instructions and it workds for you please email back and let the group know.
Below is the instructions from FS.
How to get Adobe Reader to open in its own window by Freedom Scientific
You actually make this change in the Adobe Reader application using the
instructions below:
A. Using the Accessibility Set Up Assistant
When you launch a PDF the first time, the accessibility set up assistant
opens. If the accessibility wizard has already run, do the following to open
it:
1. Press ALT+E to open the Edit menu.
2. Press Y to select Accessibility submenu.
3. Press ENTER on Set Up Assistant. The first page of this five page dialog
box opens. The default choice is fine, press ENTER to move to the next page.
4. On the second page you can change things if you wish, but by default it
is OK. Press ENTER to move to page three.
5. On the third page you can change things if you wish, but by default it is
OK. Press ENTER to move to page four.
6. On the fourth page, if you want to use the list of links, list of
headings, and the JAWS find command so on to access long documents, change
the radio button from
"For large documents, only read the currently visible pages"
to
"Read the entire document at once."
If you do not make this change, in long documents JAWS only sees the links
and headings on the current page.
Additionally, JAWS can only search the current page with the JAWS find
command. If you do select read the entire document at once, it may take a
few seconds longer to process large documents, but it is worth it to be able
to see the links and headings in the entire document, or to search the
entire document with the JAWS find.
7. Press ENTER to move to page five of the Set Up Assistant.
8. If the check box for Reopen documents to the last viewed page is checked,
you may want to uncheck this. It is a personal preference. TAB through until
you reach the check box for "Display PDF documents in the web browser," and
uncheck it.
9. Press ENTER to activate the Done button.
B. Additional changes in Adobe Reader XI preferences.
1. Press CTRL+K to open the Adobe Reader XI preferences.
2. In the Categories list on the left side of the dialog box, choose
Accessibility.
3. Press TAB to move to the item, Show Portfolios in Files mode (not checked
by default) - check this.
4. Press TAB to move back to the Categories list and choose Security
(Enhanced).
5. Press TAB to move to Enable Protected Mode at startup (checked by
default) - uncheck this.
6. Press TAB to move to the OK button, and activate it with the SPACEBAR.
NOTE: The option to view PDF documents in the browser is no longer found in
the Preferences. You must use the Set Up Assistant to find this
This is the option you want to make sure you change so it will not show the
PDF files in the browser.
Be sure to include all previous correspondence pertaining to this matter
when replying to this message so that we might better
assist you.
