Viewing Adobe PDF documents in a web browser
Acrobat makes viewing Adobe PDF documents on the web easy. You can view PDF
documents in your browser, or you can set up Acrobat to work as a separate helper
application so that when you open or download PDF documents from the web, they open
in a separate Acrobat window. If you set your preferences to start Acrobat as a separate
application outside your browser and automatically open linked PDF documents in
Acrobat, you cannot use Fast Web Viewing, form submittal in a browser, or search
highlighting on the web.
To use Acrobat as a helper application:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select
Internet on the left.
2. Deselect Display PDF In Browser, and click OK.
To set browser and Internet preferences:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select
Internet on the left.
2. Set the following options, and then click OK.
Display PDF In Browser
Displays any PDF document opened from the web inside the browser window. If this
option is not selected, PDF documents open in a separate Acrobat window.
Check Browser Settings When Starting Acrobat
Checks your default browser settings for compatibility with the application each time the
application starts.
Allow Fast Web View
Downloads PDF documents for viewing on the web one page at a time. If this option is
not selected, the entire PDF file downloads before it is displayed. If you want the entire
PDF document to continue downloading in the background while you view the first page
of requested information, also select Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background.
Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background
Allows a PDF document to continue downloading from the web, even after the first
requested page appears. Downloading in the background stops when any other task, such
as paging through the document, is initiated in Acrobat.
Connection Speed
Choose a connection speed from the menu. This setting is also used by the multimedia
plug in.
Internet Settings
Click to set up your Internet connection. Follow the prompts, or consult your ISP if you
need help.
