Hi,
I am looking after an intranet, NT4/Win95 with variously IE 4, and on some
computers PDFs will open up in the designated frame but on others they try
to download. Most users are running crippled versions of IE4, ie., the
Security and Advanced tabs in the Internet Options window have been disabled
and they are not able to download files or run ActiveX. This means that they
can not download the PDF file from the Intranet page either so they can not
access the PDF at all. I believe I am looking for a setting to tell IE4 to
view the PDF rather than try to download it. On an uncrippled version I have
clicked all Advanced settings to 'enable' but no luck. I have looked in the
settings of Acrobat Reader but can not find anything there either. Would
anyone know off hand?
TIA
Mike
