Re: How do I prevent opening a pdf document INSIDE browser (and let it save on hard disc) ?



Hi Eugen,

dialog should popup and ask me wether I want to open it

After following Tom's instructions, to get the open / save prompt, follow these steps:

Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7

Backup the key by exporting it to a REG file.
In the right-pane, delete the "EditFlags" value.
Close Regedit.exe.

Recently I installed AcrobatReader 8 on a couple of WinXP and Win2000 systems.
Unfortunately this installation seemed to change the opening behavior of pdf documents.

Whenever I click on a pdf link on a web page the pdf doc is now opend INSIDE InternetExplorer
(and Firefox too).

How do I reset this to the previous behavior: A dialog should popup and ask me
wether I want to open it or where (on my harddisc) it should ne saved?

Is this settings change global for WinXP and Win2000 and all browsers ?

Does this setting change affect also the FireFox browser?
