Kidding...
Adobe makes some amazing Windows applications, but am I the only one who would like web-hosted PDFs to open outside the browser?
After a quick search, I found the simple solution (for v6.0 at least)
- Open Adobe (Acrobat) Reader from the start menu
- Edit > Preferences
- Select "Internet"
- Un-check "Display PDF in browser"
While you're at it, you may want to set auto-update to manual (under Updates) and disable the splash screen (under Startup).
Doesn't that feel better?
FYI: This works great for IE. I couldn't figure out how to get the setting to stick for Mozilla.
I hope to figure out how this works for Office documents next.
