Acrobat 9 does not display PDF in browser or PDF files are opened in non-browser window after you upgrade to Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9
Issue
After you install Adobe Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or upgrade to Adobe Reader 9 or Acrobat 9 from an earlier version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader, PDF files are not displayed within the main browser window, even though the preference chosen/deployed is set to "Display PDF in browser".
Reason
If a previous version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader 7 or 8 was previously installed on the system, and the preference to 'Display PDF in browser' was deselected, Acrobat or Adobe Reader 9 might revert to the registry key for the previous version.
Solution
Delete the previous version's registry key.
- Choose Start > Run.
- Type regedit and click OK.
- Delete the following registry key:
- For Acrobat/Reader 7 delete HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals\bBrowserIntegration
- For Acrobat/Reader 8 delete HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Originals\bBrowserIntegration
