When you click on the link to the PDF on the web page, the document is downloaded, either to a location of your choosing or the internet temporary files location, and then opened outside of the browser in the separate PDF reading application. Here you can see Internet Explorer opened to the Internet Safety eBook download page, and Adobe Acrobat Reader with the document open in the foreground. The “normal” approach to reading a PDF file that’s presented to you on a web page is to click on the link to the PDF, download it to your machine and then run the PDF reading application as a separate Window to open and read the document: Most common is Adobe Acrobat Reader, though there are others such as Foxit Reader. They require that you have a PDF reader of some sort installed. PDF, or Portable Document Format, files are just that – individual files that contain a document designed to be easily viewed just about anywhere.
It’s one of the first things I change when I configure a browser.īut, of course, not everyone feels the way I do.įor those who aren’t familiar, I should probably review what I’m talking about. I find that the PDF reading application, like Foxit, Acrobat or others, generally provide me much more control over how the document is presented in turn making it much easier for me to read. Personally I hate having PDFs open within the browser. This one falls into the “surprisingly complex to answer” category.
There are forums full of almost any question you can think of, easily answered or not.
