Thanks.

In trying to solve my problem, I have at least been able to open PDF's by doing the following in Acrobat 6.0 (or I assume any other version you have):

Open Acrobat
Goto EDIT > PREFERENCES
Select Internet
DESELECT "Display PDF in Browser"

I can now open web-based PDF's using the 9.0 Reader. Maybe Acrobat has a higher priority as compared to the Reader? I don't know, but my main goal was met. It's yet to be seen if I messed up Acrobat (I haven't had to use it yet), but I hope not.
