Adobe Reader

Hello,

I created a package for Adobe reader. It was successfull and program launches fine. I ran a thinreg for adobe reader on a clean machine. The shortcuts are created and I am able to open PDF's. But there are web based PDF which doesn't seem to work. If I go to a web based PDF, it asks me if I want to open and I click yes, It opens in Adobe reader. Any one ran into this issue yet?

The IE embedded reader will only work if you AppLink the Adobe package to IE. Both applications needs to see each other as being installed on the same machine. Registering the Adobe package do not give you that tight integration.

If you need the embedded reader yes, either that or you simply create an Entry Point to local IE in you Adobe Reader package.. More details:
