Re: A Couple Questions about Adobe Reader and PDFs

Thanks, Angela.

I probably should explain my second question better.

Basically, I want the web application to honour the user's settings. If the user has enabled the ability to view PDFs in the browser, the PDF should be displayed in the browser. However, if the user has disabled viewing PDFs in the browser, I want the web app to allow the user to view the PDF document with Reader or whatever they have on their system for viewing PDF documents.

So, I am looking for the technique for the developer to use.

Thanks!
Tim
