Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 4.0

■

The browser supports PDF viewing, but the PDF file is not optimized or the 

server does not support byte-serving, so the entire PDF file downloads to the 
machine with the browser and then appears within the browser window.

■

The browser supports PDF viewing, and PDF files are embedded in an HTML 

page. An ActiveX browser such as Internet Explorer supports navigating 
through the document. Netscape Navigator-compatible browsers can display 
the PDF document within an HTML page, but require a link to a full-window 
view for navigation. 

■

Acrobat or Acrobat Reader is configured as a helper application for the 

browser, and the browser may support PDF viewing within the browser 
window. The entire PDF file downloads to the machine with the browser, and 
the Acrobat viewer launches as a separate application and displays the PDF 
document.
