Viewing PDF files in Firefox Browser

If you are using Firefox as your browser and you are attempting to view a PDF file, you may be getting a message that says the document isn't viewed properly and would you like to use a different option for viewing.

More recent versions of Firefox use a PDF "viewer" to preview the documents prior to actually opening them, and it's the pre-viewer that generates that error message.

To change this behavior, do the following:

1. Go to Options;
2. Go to Applications;
3. Scroll down until you see "Portable Document Format" in the left column;
4. The action on the right hand side of the column probably reads, "Preview in Firefox"; click on the drop-down arrow, and select "Open in Adobe Acrobat";

This should stop that from happening.

Please submit a ticket if you have questions or need further assistance.
