I cannot view a PDF download in a browser window in either IE8 or Opera 10 Alpha in Windows 7 Beta, 32-bit.

I moved a copy of C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser\nppdf32.dll to C:\Program Files\Opera 10 Preview\program\plugins and made sure the browser setting was to open pdf's using the Adobe Acrobat plug-in (note: I have Adobe Reader 9 installed, not Acrobat, but the plug-in is called Adobe Acrobat). Plug-ins are enabled in Opera.

I tried editing the registry as per post #53 above using the line for Windows 2000/XP. That caused an error message to pop-up saying that I was using the wrong version of Adobe Reader (or something like that), so I changed the registry entry back to what it was. Oddly, I was able to view a pdf file one time after changing the registry setting back, but subsequently I could not view any more pdf's in a browser window of Opera (or IE).

I also tried turning off "Fast web view" and "Speculative downloading", but that made no difference.

I am able to change settings in Opera to open the pdf in the default program AcroRd32.exe, and this works to open the pdf in a separate instance of Adobe Reader, but not in a browser window.

So far, I have posted on 4 different forums, and no one has even said whether they experience the same issue in Windows 7 Beta or not.

Is there a fix for this? Is anyone using Windows 7 Beta and able to view a pdf downloaded from a website in the browser window of either IE8 or Opera 10?
