HOW TO SET UP ACROBAT READER AS A HELPER APPLICATION??

Setting up Acrobat Reader as a helper application

If your Web browser does not display PDF documents in the browser window,
or if you prefer not to view PDF documents in the Web browser, you can set up
Acrobat Reader as a helper application in your browser’s preferences. Then,
when you view a PDF document on the Web, Acrobat Reader will start and
display the document. When Acrobat Reader works as a helper application, you
cannot use page-at-a-time downloading, form submittal in a browser, or search
highlighting on the Web, and you cannot view embedded PDF documents.
To set up your Web browser to recognize PDF files, you must define a MIME
type and a file type. The file type should be pdf. The MIME type should be
application/pdf. See your browser’s documentation for information on
configuring it.
If you are using Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later with Windows or Mac OS, and if
you want to use Acrobat Reader as a helper application, rename the PDFViewer
plug-in or delete it from the Netscape plug-in folder. The plug-in is named
nppdf32.dll (Windows) or PDFViewer (Mac OS).

To use Acrobat Reader as a helper application in Windows:
1 Choose File > Preferences > General.
2 Select Web Browser Integration and click OK.
Note: This is not necessary in Mac OS.
