How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

Oct 15, 2012 9:10 AM

Hi everyone

 

After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.

If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.

 

Therefore:

  1. 1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
  2. 2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?

 

My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.

 

Very thanks.

 

Regards,

Boholdt

    Hi again

     

    I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should

    disable in Internet Explorer 8.

     

    If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called

    PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see

    the plugin.

     

    Another method is between the guide for accessibility

    (edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the

    checkbox.

     

    Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.

     

    For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to

    find the same assistant?

     

    Very thanks.

     

    Regards

    Boholdt
