Set Adobe Acrobat to Open PDFs in New Window

Information about SP2

 

Some computers may have difficulty opening PDFs with Internet Explorer after installing Windows XP SP2. When a link to a PDF is clicked a small box with a red x may appear in Internet Explorer instead of the PDF.

Until Microsoft is able to create a patch for this problem, follow the instructions below to configure Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF in a separate window.

1. Open Adobe Acrobat.

2. Click Edit -> Preferences.

3. In the preferences window select Internet on the left side and uncheck Display PDF in browser.

4. Click OK.

ACC will provide additional instructions to deselect this option when a patch becomes available.
