USING ACROBAT 9 STANDARD
Workspace
Viewing PDFs in a web browser
You can view PDFs in a supported web browser, or you can set your Internet preferences to open linked or downloaded
PDF files in a separate Acrobat window. If you open PDFs in Acrobat outside the browser, you cannot use Fast Web
Viewing, form submittal in a browser, or search highlighting on the web.
Because keyboard commands may be mapped to the web browser, some Acrobat shortcuts may not be available.
Similarly, you may need to use the tools and commands in the Acrobat toolbar rather than the browser toolbar or
menu bar. For example, to print a PDF document, use the Print button in the Acrobat toolbar rather than the Print
command in the browser. (In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can choose File > Print, Edit > Copy, and Edit > Find
on the Internet Explorer toolbar.)
Note: Having multiple versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on the same computer can prevent you from viewing
PDFs in a web browser. Examples include Acrobat 8 with Adobe Reader 9, or Acrobat 7 with Reader 8, and so on. Try
deselecting the Display PDF In Browser option in Internet Preferences in one program, and selecting the option in the
other program. For more information about coexisting installations, see the Tech Note at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333223.html.

PDFs open in a separate Acrobat window. On Mac OS, if you have installed both Reader and Acrobat, you can select
which application and which version to use.
Note: If Reader is installed on your system and you subsequently install Acrobat, Safari continues to use Reader to open
PDFs in your browser. Use this option to configure Safari to use Acrobat.

computer. For more information, consult your operating system Help, your Internet service provider, or your local
network administrator.
Read articles
In PDFs, articles are optional electronic threads that the PDF author may define within that PDF. Articles lead readers
through the PDF content, jumping over pages or areas of the page that are not included in the article, in the same way
that you might skim through a traditional newspaper or magazine, following one specific story and ignoring the rest.
When you read an article, the page view may zoom in or out so that the current part of the article fills the screen.
