Hi,

I'm wondering how to detect if a PC client has installed Adobe Reader 5/6/7 or Adobe 5/6/7.
I'm trying to develop a Javascript, and in the past pdf.ocx was used. Now I read that for Adobe Reader 7 it does not exist anymore.

How to detect if Adobe Reader 5/6/7 or Adobe 5/6/7 is installed on PC client?

Thank you very much!
