Viewing, Downloading, and Printing PDF Files (Windows 95 / 98 / ME / 2000 / XP)
How do I view PDF Files on a Windows 95 /98 /ME /2000 /XP System?
When Acrobat Reader is installed on a Windows system, it automatically
configures the browser you are using to display PDF files WITHIN
THE BROWSER WINDOW, by installing a plug-in into the browser's
plug-in folder. This is the same for both Acrobat Reader Version
3,4 or 5, and either Netscape or Internet Explorer, with only one
exception.
(Exception: When you're using Navigator 4.x, which is included
with Netscape Communicator, you'll need to manually move the Nppdf32.dll
file or the Nppdf16.dll file from the Acrobat3\Reader\Browser
or Acrobat3\Exchange\Browser folder into the Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins
folder.)
What this means is that when you click on any PDF file link
on the Web, your browser will automatically display the PDF file
in your browser's window. It will also display an Adobe Acrobat
toolbar underneath your regular browser toolbars. You can now
navigate through the file, reading it as you would any other document.
How do I download PDF Files Directly to my Windows Hard
Drive? (or wherever you save your files)
Instead of viewing (or while viewing) the PDF file within the
browser, you can choose to download the PDF file directly to your
hard disk, floppy disk, Zip disk, etc.

Can I view my PDF Files from within a Browser Window?
It is possible to view PDF files within your browser window.
There are a number of technical changes that must be made in
order to do this, and they will vary depending on what browser
you are using, and what version of Acrobat Reader you are using.
How do I print my PDF file?
You can print the downloaded PDF file by launching the Acrobat
Reader application, opening the file, and using the command File>Print.
If you are using Acrobat Reader Version 4 or higher, you can
also print the document from within the open browser window, by
clicking on the printer icon in the Acrobat toolbar.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader information above is basic by nature.
