Browser-driven reader

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

This version of Reader for Mac users can only be accessed through your browser. It's not your usual 'click & open' process (which will only result in a crash/automatic closing of the Reader program). Instead, drag your pdf file into an open browser window (works fine in Safari but less well in Firefox if various options are blocked. I only figured this out by reading down the list of instructions on the Adobe website. It's not well (aka, clearly) explained otherwise. Who's crazy about this format? Weird... Why change what worked perfectly well as a 'click and open'?

Browser-driven reader - w i n t e r m u t e

That is completely false. While Reader does have an inline browser support feature, it still functions perfectly fine as a free-standing application.

Browser-driven reader - gslusher

As stated, this is wrong. To prove it, download a PDF, launch Adobe Reader, and open the PDF with it. In fact, the Adobe Reader installation process will probably set your system to automatically open Adobe Reader if you double-click on a PDF file. I've changed that to Preview by clicking on a PDF file, Get Info, and choose to open with Preview AND to open all similar files with Preview.
