Configure browser to use the Adobe PDF plug-in

Many recent browser versions include their own, native PDF plug-ins that automatically replace the Acrobat and Reader plug-in from Adobe. Installing Firefox 19 or later or Chrome 8.0.552.215 and later can result in your Adobe plug-in being silently disabled and replaced. Browser plug-ins typically do not support all PDF capabilities or offer comparable features. It's sometimes necessary to revert to the Adobe plug-in if you experience the following problems:

3D models don't render
Embedded SWF files don't play
Parts of a PDF don’t display
Poor performance or image quality
Large files sizes when printing to PDF

Manually change your browser preferences so that it uses the Acrobat or Reader PDF viewer.

Choose Firefox > Options > Applications.
Select a relevant content type from the Content Type column.
In the Action column, select an application to open the PDF. For example, to use the Acrobat plug-in within the browser, choose Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox).

Select Firefox.
Choose Preferences > Applications.
Select a relevant content type from the Content Type column.
Associate the content type with the application to open the PDF. For example, to use the Acrobat plug-in within the browser, choose Use Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in.

In the Chrome address bar, type chrome://plugins.
Disable the Chrome PDF Viewer.
Enable the Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader plug-in.
Close the Plug-ins tab and restart Chrome.
