Viewing PDF documents on the Web
You can view PDF documents that are on the World Wide Web or an intranet
using a Web browser. Every document on the Web is identified by a unique
address called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). When a PDF document is
stored on the Web, you can click a URL link to it to open the document in your
Web browser.
Reading PDF documents in a Web browser
PDF documents can display in Web browsers compatible with Netscape
®
Navigator 4.0 (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (or later). The
®
necessary plug-ins are automatically installed when you install Acrobat Reader.
For information on getting your browser ready, see Installing the Web browser
plug-in. (If pages of your PDF document appear blank when viewed in a Web
browser, you may be using an early version of a Web server. Try saving the PDF
file locally, and viewing it using Acrobat Reader.)
When you view a PDF document in a Web browser, all of the Acrobat Reader
tools are available in the browser. In Windows, you can click the two small
vertical lines (next to the Adobe icon at the left of the tool bar) to minimize or
maximize the tool bar.
Note: Many keyboard commands are mapped to the Web browser rather than
to Acrobat Reader, so some Acrobat Reader keyboard shortcuts may not be
available in the browser window.
