Regarding Windows 7 Beta:
Last night, I spent several hours trying all the hacks I have read on this. Nothing works.

I tried the following without success:
1) Adding the key bBrowserIntegration as per another thread here
2) Reinstalling a set of Adobe Reader 9 registry keys (see post #15)
3) Running Adobe Reader 9 with Vista compatibility and Administrator rights
4) Running Opera 10 Alpha with Administrator rights
5) Deleting all Opera cache files
6) Trying to open a PDF both browsers, Opera 10 and IE8
7) Opening a local PDF file with the browser
8) Uninstalling Adobe Reader 9 (inc: Adobe Air, Acrobat.com) and reinstalling. (I did not have any previous pdf readers installed)
9) Changing security on nppdf32.dll to Full for all user accounts
10)Changing security on AcroRd32.exe to Full for all user accounts

Oddly, I did get a PDF to open in both Opera and IE8 a couple of times, but then no more PDF's would open in either browser.

The only thing that did work was to not open a PDF in a browser window. This meant changing Adobe Reader to not "Display PDF in browser", and changing action of MIME types in Opera to use AcroRd32.exe instead of the Acrobat Reader plug-in. When I did this, after the PDF was downloaded it would open in Adobe Reader outside the browser.

Opening PDF's in a browser works fine for me in XP and Vista. Can't get it to work in Windows 7 Beta though. I have decided to uninstall Adobe Reader 9 from Windows 7 Beta and give some other readers a try - such as Foxit Reader.

Come on Adobe, this thread is over 100 replies long with nary a peep from you. You need to address this.
