Getting Acrobat to open outside of browser window

Running FF 1.5.0.7 + Acrobat Pro 6.0. Although I have "Diplay PDF in
Browser" unchecked in Acrobat, & PDF files are set to "Open in Adobe
Acrobat" in FF, any pdf I encounter in FF is opened in a FF window. How
do I get it to simply open the doc in Acrobat, outside a FF window?

TIA

Dan

Save the PDF file. Then open it.

All the best, Timo

Thanks. An effective work around, but I know you can get the browser to
just launch Acrobat & open the doc there, I've done it before. Just
can't remember HOW ;-/

There's an extension to do this but sorry I don't remember its name (PDF
Viewer?)

You can try options -> Downloads -> View&Edit Actions, then double-click
the PDF thingy, and select "Open them with this application." Find the
AcroRd32.exe file and accept changes.

If it still doesn't work, check that you don't have several lines in
actions with PDF on them. If yes, remove the dupes. "There can be only
one."

I renamed all instances of nppdf32.dll on my hard drive and now I'm
asked what I want to happen to PDF file links I right click.

Update to the referenced message:

is not "true", then change it to "true".
Right-click on this preference name and choose "Toggle"
from the right-click context menu.

Are you using Windows 98SE?

This is a known problem with Acrobat 5 and later with Win98SE, when you have "Display
PDF in browser" unchecked, it still opens in a browser window. It's a bug with Acrobat
versions 5 and later with Win98SE (with Win2K or later, or, with Acrobat 4, there should
be no problem).

Try the "PDF Download" extension.

Thanks for all the replies. Nope, not the Win98 thing, I'm running xp
home sp2. The thing is, I HAVE been able to get it to quite this in the
past. I just built a new machine & I can't for the life of me remember
WHAT I DID before ;-\ I'll try the suggestions, thanks again.
