Please bottom-post in this forum, thanks.
Also, when replying to digest messages, please change the subject to

makes it a lot easier to tie responses to previous messages!
2) If you want PDFs to trigger an offer to save to disk, check your
settings under Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications. There
will probably be several PDF file types because PDFs are served with
several MIME types. Change the setting(s) to "Always Ask." Then
SeaMonkey will ask for a decision each time. I find this a bit of a
bother, YMMV.
Yes, I have done that (always ask) but the file is never saved to disk.
That is the problem.
As Paul mentioned, there may be several options for Adobe Acrobat, PDF
and/or Portable Document Format types in the Helper Applications list.
Make sure you've changed all of them to "Always Ask".
Next, try:
- Go to Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications
- Change all the Adobe Acrobat / PDF types to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in
SeaMonkey)"
- Click OK
- Go back to Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications
- Change all the Adobe Acrobat / PDF types to "Always Ask".
Seems daft, but it just fixed the same thing for me. I hadn't even
noticed it wasn't working as it should until looking at this! Using
SeaMonkey 2.33.1 on Windows Vista, the following links were all opening
with the Adobe Reader plugin even though I had "Always Ask" selected:
<http://documents.hants.gov.uk/education/SchoolYear2015-2016-Approved2507corrected.pdf>
<http://int-scout.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Tanzania-2017-Leaders-QA-W3.pdf>
<http://www.nationwide.co.uk/~/media/MainSite/documents/products/insurance/car-insurance/About-our-car-insurance-services.pdf>
After changing the Adobe Acrobat types to "Use Adobe Acrobat" and then
back to "Always Ask", I now get prompted what to do for the above links.
It seems actual behaviour had got out of sync with the displayed options...
Mark.
