Adobe Reader 9.1  Disable Display PDF in browser

Is there a registry setting I tweek to uncheck the box for Display PDF In Browser?  The only ones I could find grayed out the box but it didn't un check the box.

I'm just confirming what anhnguyen7902 posted.
This was tested against Acrobat Reader 9.3.1. I exported all of the registry keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\ with the "Display PDF in browser" setting enabled and disabled. Below are the only relevant differences when changing this setting from within Acrobat Reader.
With the setting enabled, keys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] are...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
"bHostBasedCM"=dword:00000001
"iPSLevel"=dword:00000000
"sProofingSpace"=hex:55,2e,53,2e,20,57,65,62,20,43,6f,61,74,65,64,20,28,53,57,4f,50,29,20, 76,32,00
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
With this setting DISABLED, keys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] are...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
"bHostBasedCM"=dword:00000001
"iPSLevel"=dword:00000000
"sProofingSpace"=hex:55,2e,53,2e,20,57,65,62,20,43,6f,61,74,65,64,20,28,53,57,4f,50,29,20, 76,32,00
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
"bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
The difference being the bBrowserIntegration key being present and set to dword:00000000 when this option is DISABLED, but the key being completely removed when the setting is ENABLED.
While writing this post, I decided to test it against Acrobat Reader v4.2.1. The results were the same.
Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Reader XI enterprise deploy-disable display PDF in browser?

    There appears to be conflicting information about Adobe Reader XI and how to pre-configure the "disable display pdf in browser".
    The Enterprise Administration Kit/Guide says you can do this via the MSI Property:
    DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION = YES
    However, acrobat help, indicates you can ONLY do this manually via individual browser add-ons.
    I have the redestributable version from Adobe and I used the Enterprise Guide to make the AIP and used the Customization Wizard to create the package and am using the properties line when the msi is installed to disable the display
    so which one is right?

    I am out of the office until 1/22/13.

  • Disable "Display PDF in browser" | Acrobat, Reader XI

    I understand this is the suggested method of disabling the "Display PDF in browser" is  http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html    However we would like to know if there is an API or something we can simply remove from the workstation to disable "Display PDF in browser". 
    Where is and what's the  name of the file IE loads for  "Display PDF in browser"
    Is there a Reg Key that we can modiefy to Disable "Display PDF in browser"?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
    Ed

    From the KB note: "Acrobat XI and Reader XI do not include a preference setting to open web-based PDFs. "
    In other words, what you want is already the default. All of the major browsers have their own PDF viewer. Moreover, the old reg pref "disable browser integration" never worked across all browsers due to the number of browsers and the rate at which they were evolving. That pref is removed in 11.x products.
    While I don't understand the question in your first bullet, the default browser behavior seems to be what you are looking for. Browser behavior should be configured with browser settings rather than Acrobat/Reader settings.

  • Can Adobe reader on my iPad display PDFs with layers?

    Can Adobe Reader on my iPad display PDFs with layers?

    Hi,
    Currently, Acrobat DC mobile products (for iOS and Android) do not support any changes to layer visibility.  So you are not able to turn on or off layers in a PDF document using Acrobat DC for iOS.
    Would you file a feature request?

    Our Product Management team will take your feature request into consideration for a future release.

  • Adobe Reader X - Disable "Display PDF in Browser" via Registry

    I'm trying to configure my organization's Windows workstations so that web-based PDF files open in Adobe Reader rather than in internet browsers. I have been able to configure Adobe Reader 9 installations to open web-based PDF files in Reader rather than internet browsers by using the following registry setting:
    Hive
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key path
    Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
    Value name
    bBrowserIntegration
    Value type
    REG_DWORD
    Value data
    0x0 (0)
    My problem lies with Adobe Reader X: I used the following settings in attempting to prevent Adobe Reader X installations from opening web-based PDFs in internet browsers:
    Hive
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key path
    Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Originals
    Value name
    bBrowserIntegration
    Value type
    REG_DWORD
    Value data
    0x0 (0)
    Hive
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key path
    Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Originals
    Value name
    bAllowByteRangeRequests
    Value type
    REG_DWORD
    Value data
    0x0 (0)
    Hive
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key path
    Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral
    Value name
    bBrowserDisplayInReadMode
    Value type
    REG_DWORD
    Value data
    0x0 (0)
    I've only had partial success, though. Internet Explorer respects the registry settings and opens web-based PDFs in Reader X. Firefox 14.0.1, though, ignores the registry settings and opens web-based PDFs in Firefox.
    Is there a different registry setting I should be using so that Firefox sees "Display PDF in Browser" unchecked and allows web-based PDFs to be opened in Reader X? Is there another method I should be following for deploying this setting to Adobe Reader X clients?

    Hi,
    We'll, you've educated yourself well. Unfortunately, Acrobat products can't control what browsers do so uniform behavior is not possible.  The setting is Adobe's best attempt and forcing some consistency.
    The ReadMode setting only controls what happens in the UI after the PDF is open.

  • Open PDF Slow Problem and Edit Registry to Disable "Display PDF in Browser"

    There is around 400 users who were installed Acrobat Reader 9. But it is found that they open our intranet pdf very slow due to NETBIOS problem. The alternative solution is to disable the browser integration feature.
    But how can I set Group Policy or Windows Registry to disable the "Display PDF in browser" feature for all the users?

    If your users use Internet explorer, you can disable the add-on. to disable the add-on you will need to know the version of IE they are using. the most commonly used scripts to do that are kixstart or .VBS scripts.
    e-mail me if you need any help with the script

  • How to disable Display PDF in Browser in Adobe Reader XI?

    I am having troubles with opening a report in PDF form from a web browser, and I'm trying to figure out how to disable opening a PDF in a browser in Reader XI.  I tried disabling "Open in Read Mode" and "Allow Fast Web View" both individually and seperately, and none of those combinations did the trick.
    Any suggestions/help are appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hello Lloyd6770
    Try these steps.  ( I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Internet Explorer 9,  and Adobe XI )
    1. Open Adobe XI
    2. Click Edit
    3. Click Accessibility
    4. Click Setup Assistant
    5. Click top radio button 'Set Options for Screen Readers'
    6. Click Next
    7. Do not change options on Screen 2 of 4, Click Next
    8. Do not change options on Screen 3 of 4, Click Next
    9. On screen 4 of 4, remove the check mark on ' Display PDF documents in the web browser '
    NOTE: I checked Internet Explorer 9 / Tools / Manage add-ons and Adobe PDF Link Helper is still enabled in Internet Explorer 9.
    PDF's will open in Adobe XI as you preferred and not in your brower.
    Cheers!

  • Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

    The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser.  Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior.  Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly.  Anyone else experiencing this issue?

  • Can't uncheck 'display PDF in browser using' on mac

    Reader 10.0.0
    'display PDF in browser using' in the Internet preferences is stuck on to Adobe Reader. The checkbox is checked/disabled, and cannot be unchecked.
    Also, viewing a PDF in the browser via FTP sticks the entire browser (hence my reason for noticing/disabling this plugin)
    Had to remove the plugin file from file:///Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/ to remove.

    Hi,
    Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
    To disable the plugin-
    1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
    2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
    3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
    4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
    5. Restart  Safari
    In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
    AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.

  • How to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi?

    I'd like to how to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    NeoChang:
    You can modify the installation package using the Adobe Customization Wizard to toggle the "Display PDF in Browser" but I have not found a setting to disable JavaScript from the Wizard. I have created a script which makes the changes, but it has to be run for every user since that info is stored in the User hive of the Windows registry.
    Disable JavaScript:
    REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
    Disable Browser Integration:
    REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /v bBrowserIntegration /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

  • Safari won't display pdf in browser and I do not have adobe reader or ply ins

    I've been checking the posts and all the discussions/questions and answers but the only thing I have been able to find about problems displaying pdfs in browser have to do with adobe plug-ins. I never had adobe reader and checked in /library/internet plug ins and never found those plug ins. I then downloaded and installed adobe reader X and got rid of the plug ins in the library and that still has not solved the problem. Whenever I click on a link for a pdf it just automatically downloads the pdf. I just want to view the pdfs in the browser.
    Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

  • Adobe Reader X - Display PDF in Browser Option is Greyed out

    Looking for a registry fix to unlock the Display PDF in Browser option.  Not sure how it is greyed out to begin with.  My MST file was not set to Lock anything.  Please help.  I cannot find anything anywhere of use to "ungrey" this option. 
    It seems to happen when Acrobat is installed. 
    How can I fix and how can I prevent in future releases??

  • Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: PDF does not display in browser

    Hello,
    If I click on a link to a PDF-file, this PDF-file does not display in browser eventhough I have checked "Display PDF in browser" (Preferences ==> Internet ==> Web Browser Options) but instead Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser. What is wrong?
    Thank you for your help.

    I solved the problem. I used Internet Explorer, 64-bit. If I use Internet Explorer 32-bit the PDF-file displays in browser. If I use Internet Explorer 64-bit Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser.

  • I enable Display PDF in browser but still opens in Reader

    Our current client PC's are Windows XP 32-bit, IE 7, using Adobe X v.10.1.2. We have an application that opens PDF files. We have the parameter "Display PDF in browser" enabled and it opens in the browser as it should.
    However, new PC's are built with Windows 7 63-bit, IE 8, using Adobe X v.10.1.2. Using the same application with the parameter "Display PDF in browser" enabled, it always asks if you want to open in Reader or save the file. That shouldn't happen. It does this whether the paramter is enabled or disabled, it also does this using 32bit IE 8 or 64bit.
    Is this a Adobe bug, Win 7 bug, or how can we make it open in the browser? Using another browser is not an option. IE is the company standard.
    Thanks

    Does it work correctly on "normal" web pages, e.g. the PDF links near the bottom of http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums ?
    In a 32-bit browser, the PDFs should open inside the browser.
    With a 64-bit browser, the PDFs will open in an external Adobe Reader window.
