Hi Guys,

I have a pdf that I have created and want to put on my site.

I have uploaded the pdf to my file manager and put a link to the pdf on the page where I want it to go. But when the link is clicked, it opens in the browser window but I would like it to open using acrobat reader as its more difficult to read/navigate in the browser.

Does anyone know how to do this? Its probably something quite simple but ive tried searching for the info but without any luck.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure that if the visitors machine has Acrobat Reader installed the file will open in Reader in the browser but the visitor has the option to save the file

    Well it opens up in a browser just fine, but I want the file to open up using the acrobat program.

    Its just a bit difficult to read in the browser as its so big and difficult to navigate because you don't get all of the navigation buttons you get when it opens in acrobat reader.
