How Can We Help?

The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser

Print

After installing Adobe Reader 9 I get this error: The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.

In Firefox click on Tools->Options and then on the Applications tab

Set the action for the Content Type: pdf File to Use Adobe Reader 9.x and the problem will be solved
