Hi Everyone,

I am supporting a remote user who has adobe acrobat 6 pro... and adobe reader 9.
He uses adobe 6 pro to convert excel files to PDFs for invoice purposes.

When when he goes to our intranet/extranet sites and clicks on PDF links IE 6 tells him that he needs to have adobe reader 8 or 9 installed to view PDFs online. (yet he already has version 9 installed).

I went to My computer > tools > folder options > file types > and for all PDF related file types I had it set so they can open with adobe reader 9.
When he goes to the intranet and clicks on a PDF link it gives him the same error message... that he must use reader v 8 or 9.

Any ideas on how acrobat 6 professional and adobe reader 9 can co-exist in windows XP and IE6?? Thanks much

Foxit reader is free and can be used to read pdf files and can be set to default viewer for pdf files - very small in size and uses less resources than adobe

Foxit Reader itself is free. The critical add-ons are free while advanced add-ons have a reasonable cost. For example, you can use the following functions for free:

* View or print PDF document
* Add or edit bookmarks in a PDF file if the security settings allow
* Basic PDF form operations i.e. filling out PDF forms and printing them out
* Advanced PDF form operations, such as saving filled-out forms and import/export forms, free for personal and non-personal usage
* View PDF as text
* Critical add-ons, such as UI language package, JPEG2000/JBIG decoder, CJK package, GDI+ for early Windows version,

And is NOT bloatware

It will immediately 'hijack' extension association so there's no thinking required. Download exe, no setup required, place in location you would like it to live permanently, and run once

Done

A simple solution is to adjust the configuration of Adobe pro 6 by disabling all check boxes in the internet settings. These settings can be accessed from edit, preferences, Internet.
