Viewing Adobe PDF documents in a web browser
Adobe Reader makes viewing Adobe PDF documents on the web easy. You can view 
PDF documents in your browser, or you can set up Adobe Reader to work separately as a 
helper application so that when you open or download PDF documents from the web they 
open in a separate Adobe Reader window. If you set your preferences to start Adobe 
Reader as a separate application outside your browser and automatically open linked PDF 
documents in Adobe Reader, you cannot use Fast Web Viewing, form submittal in a 
browser, or search highlighting on the web.
To use Adobe Reader as a helper application:
1.  Choose Edit > Preference (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS), and 
select Internet.
2.  Deselect Display PDF In Browser, and click OK.
To set browser and Internet preferences:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS), and 
select Internet in the left pane. Set the following options, and then click OK. 
Display PDF In Browser
Displays any PDF document opened from the web inside the browser window. If this 
optionis not selected, PDF documents open in a separate Adobe Reader window.
Allow Fast Web View
Downloads PDF documents for viewing on the web one page at a time. If this option is 
not selected, the entire PDF file downloads before it appears. If you want the entire PDF 
document to continue downloading in the background while you view the first page of 
requested information, also select Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background.
Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background
Allows a PDF document to continue downloading from the web, even after the first 
requested page appears. Downloading in the background stops when any other task, such 
as paging through the document, is initiated in Adobe Reader.
Connection Speed
Choose a connection speed from the menu. This setting is also used by the multimedia 
plug-in.
Internet Settings
Click to set up your Internet connection. Follow the prompts, or consult your ISP provider 
if you need help.
