Opening PDF files with Acrobat Reader from Mozilla Making Mozilla open PDF files automatically When you click on a link to a PDF file, Mozilla should open that file automatically with Acrobat Reader. If it does not, you can follow the instructions here to change that behavior: 1) In Mozilla, choose "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu. 2) Click the triangle next to "Navigator" in the "Category" pane of the "Preferences" window. 3) In the sub-tree of "Navigator", click on "Helper Applications". 4) In the "File Types:" box on the right, select "application/pdf" and click the "Edit" button. 5) In the new window that appears, choose the "Open it with" radio button, and in the box next to that, type: /mit/acro/arch/@sys/bin/acroread 6) Click "OK" to close the small window, then "OK" again to close the Preferences window. Mozilla is now set up to view PDf files with Acrobat Reader. Note on slower machines it may take a minute or two for Acrobat Reader to start after clicking on a PDF file. Please be patient. You may also specify a different PDF viewer if you wish, however please note that any lockers it requires must be attached manually. Mozilla automatically attaches the "acro" locker for you.
