If you want the .pdf to open in IE you need to use the AR options (e.g. via Ctrl-k to check, on the Internet tab, Display PDF in browser). If that is checked and it still doesn't open in IE I would use AR's Repair tool. E.g. in Add/Remove Programs and with both AR and IE closed click on Change and Repair. Any time IE changes it may be necessary to repair or reinstall its add-ons. AR has always been a prime example of that. Oops. Looks like you also have to Enable the Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper add-on. Who knew? Hmm... after a repair that option was checked but the helper wasn't enabled? When unchecking the option (to toggle it) AR tells me it wants to reboot! How stupid is that? FWIW this is with AR 8.2 I never had so much trouble with any earlier version. Well, it's not AR. It's the file that you're downloading... http://www.isispower.com/filebase/src/Manuals/2_cell_inLINK.pdf (BING search for inlink:pdf - BING misinterpreted what I was looking for but this was good enough as a test. ) Eventually I will reboot but I'm not going to allow AR to reboot just for this.
