If that is OK I don't know where else to look.
I tried this, selecting "Use Adobe Acrobat (in SM)" -- but then it opened PDFs with Adobe Reader in SM, not what I wanted. So I uninstalled Adobe Reader; then it began opening PDFs in Adobe Acrobat in the browser, which puts me back where I started and where I want to be -- thank you for the suggestion! _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
