Every so often something changes and I have to re-figure out how to
get PDF files from the web to open the way I want.
Recently I upgraded from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat XI and things have
gotten jumbled again.
Now when I download a PDF file, it opens in a Seamonkey tab using
Reader instead of Acrobat 9. I can save the file, then open it in
Acrobat 9 or XI in a separate window, but I'd rather not do that over
and over!
I seem to remember that this behavior is controlled by the order in
which Reader and Acrobat was installed -- is that correct? If so, it
would seem PDFs should now open in a Seamonkey tab using Acrobat XI.
I just disabled Reader in the Add-ons Manager (where perversely it
identifies itself as Acrobat!). Now I'm asked if I want to open the
file in Acrobat (in a separate window), which works, but is not my
preferred behavior.
Does anyone know how I can reset Acrobat XI to open in a Seamonkey tab?
(BTW, I've tried some of the other alternatives (PDF.js, Foxit, Nitro
PDF) but none of them offer the functionality of the full Acrobat
product.)
I was writing a LONG message detailing all the suggestions I followed
-- I saved it so I could restart Seamonkey, but who knows where it went!
Anyway, thanks for all the ideas; I'm working through them one by one.
So far the behavior is unchanged -- but I'm getting confident I'll
figure it out!
Not sure exactly which tip did the trick, but everything seems to be
working fine now.
I truly appreciate the knowledgeable folks in this newsgroup who are
willing to help out total strangers!
Bill, I don't think we're total strangers, just you, this week, might
have been me last year or the year before!!
That's why I hang out around here, to try to lighten the load on those
that helped me out previously!!
