- Small Bug with IE 7, Adobe Reader, & Favorites (07/08)
  There is a known issue with older Pdf files having trouble adapting to IE 7. Here is the easiest work around for this bug: In Adobe Reader 8.0 (The latest Version) click on Edit, and go to Preferences, then on the left side of the screen find the Internet tab and select it. You want to UNCHECK the default option that says, "Open PDF files in the browser." When you do this, Adobe Reader will configure itself to open all Pdf files in their own Reader Window and NOT in IE 7. (This is how older versions of Adobe Reader used to do this anyway.) This says to Adobe Reader, "I am gonna control all elements of how a Pdf file works without relying on the browser." It's a good workaround. If you have IE 6 and functionality works ok between Adobe Reader and IE 6, you can leave the "Open From Within The Browser" option selected.
