Background information
The Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option displays any PDF document opened from the web inside the browser window. If this option isn't selected, PDF documents open in a separate Acrobat window. A corrupt registry setting causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat.
When you start Acrobat, it checks your default web browser preferences for compatibility with Acrobat and this preference setting may become corrupt. A corrupt preference file causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat. Turning off, then back on, "View PDF in browser" forces Acrobat to remove and re-create the applicable registry setting. When "View PDF in browser" is re-enabled, the corrupt registry key is written correctly. Source Adobe www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330293.html |
