Hello,

Whenever I try to click this link to open it up in PDF I get this error message:

"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser. Please Exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."

I have Adobe Reader 9.1.0

Is it typical for Adobe Reader to not open PDF files in Web Brower?

That's a good question. I believe Adobe Reader acts as it's on browser for PDF files.

If you wish to view PDF files in Firefox, I highly recommend getting a plug-in named "Web to PDF." I've been using it for a few months now and I've never had a problem with it.

If you do a search for "Web to PDF", with or without the quotes you'll be able to find it.

Or you could just go to the Mozilla Firefox site and check out the plug-ins, you'll find it there.

After installing, just right click (on your mouse), select "open with", then choose "Mozilla Firefox" and that should do it.

I hope this helps! If you have any problems, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Good luck!

Michael
