Hi,

On my work machine, I have Acrobat 6 installed so I can create PDFs (I hope to get authorized for Acrobat 8 soon). When trying to view/open a PDF on a website, I was getting the following message:

"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."

And the PDF won't open.

I downloaded Reader 9, and updated both Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 with all updates.

In Preferences, I have played with enabeling/disabeling the "Display PDF in browser" on both Arobat and Reader with no luck.

Are there any other settings I need to change to be able to open PDFs?

Many thanks!
