I think your Adobe Reader is set to use the IE Add-In. For accessibility, especially on large PDF documents, I find it better to have it open in the Adobe Reader application. To set this, do the following:
1. Find the Adobe Reader X in the Start menu under All Programs. 2. Hit Enter on the Adobe Reader X item to open the full application. 3. Press Alt + e, to open the Edit menu. Arrow up to Accessibility and arrow right to the sub menu and select "Setup Assistant...". 4. On the 5th page of 5 there is a checkbox for"Display PDF documents in a web browser". Uncheck this box. 5. Finish the Assistant wizard and close the Reader application. I hope this solves your issues! *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 7/10/2012 8:02 PM, Cristobal wrote: > Hello list, > > > > So I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand.
