Disable built in PDF Viewer, use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your Firefox, Chrome, or IE







Firefox, Chrome, and the latest version Internet Explorer now have a built in PDF reader. It is automatically enable.It allow user to view PDF file without install Adobe PDF reader.However, the built-in viewers are not compatible with all PDF files.This viewer might not display all PDF documents correctly. Here I am sharing with how to set default Adobe View.
1. chrome Browser:- Open Chrome, Type chrome://plugins in the address bar to open the Plug-ins page
Locate the Adobe PDF plug-in, and do one of the Following:
  • To make Adobe PDF plug-in the default PDF viewer in the browser, enable the Adobe PDF plug-in and disable Chrome PDF Viewer.
  • To disable in browser PDF viewing and force Chrome download PDF files, leaves both viewer plug-ins disabled so the PDFs won't display in the browser.
2. Mozilla Firefox:-  
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+A to open the Add-ons Manager window.
  • Enable the Acrobat or Reader plugin by select "Always Active"
  • Next open option windows, under Applications tab
 

Select Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) for Adobe Acrobat Forms Document, Adobe Acrobat XML Data Package File, and Portable Document Format (PDF).
* To disable in browser PDF viewing, select save file.
3. Internet Explorer (IE) 
  1. Open Internet Explorer, and choose Tools > Manage Add-ons.
  2. Under Add-on Types, select Toolbars And Extensions.
  3. In the Show menu, select All Add-ons.
  4. In the list of add-ons, select Adobe PDF Reader.
