Hi All.

I run IE 7.0 and Adobe acrobat reader 8.1.2

Everytime I click on a pdf link in IE web browser, instead of prompting me to either open it or save it, reader will start maximized outside the IE and open the PDF file.

I used to have it set such that this doesn't occur. Now with the new versions, I can't get them to prompt me for the choice of "saving or opening"

How do I change the settings (and what settings are these?) such that when I click on the PDF link in IE, it will prompt me to either save it or open it?

Thanks for any info. This is really aggravating for me.

Sean
