I'm curious to know if its possible to load the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in portion only in IE and Firefox. Ideally I'd prefer to not have to install the entire application just to view PDF's in IE/Firefox as I rely on a third party application to view, and manipulate, PDF's outside of the browsers. Yes, I can change the association of .PDF's in Explorer or re-install (or perform a repair installation of) the application to restore the file associations, but if I can avoid installing Adobe Acrobat Reader all together, I'd prefer that route.

Is this possible or does the application have to be installed?

Thanks
Jules
