I had installed Adobe Reader 9 a couple of days ago and opening PDFs in the browser window in IE 7 worked great. Yesterday I installed Adobe Acrobat. Today I tried viewing PDFs in the browser and got the same 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. Please exit and try again." When I clicked on OK a blank Acrobat window popped up and the browser showed "Page cannot be displayed." This fixed the problem on my computer: 1. Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> Adobe Reader 9 -> Remove 2. Restarted the computer. 3. Tried opening a PDF in the browser window. 6. Clicked on Open on the Open / Save prompt. 7. Allowed Microsoft Search to look for an application. 8. In <http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=pdf> clicked on the Adobe Reader link. 9. Followed instructions to install Adobe Reader 9 again. 10. Restarted the computer.
