Open a PDF file inside browser?

[Lin Ma]

I have a asp web page with a link point to a file which depend on the
database information.

Sometime is a picture file sometime a word and some time is a PDF file.
For picture file, when user click the link, it will open the picture inside
the IE browser.

Now here is my problem:

On some of the computers, for PDF file only, it opens outside of the IE
browser. Like the Acrobat program is not in the browser. With the same code,
some computer works good.

But I want to force it open inside the browser.

Does anyone knows why and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

It's a client/browser issue. Not sure why that's happening.

This is a setting in Acrobat Reader (at least it is in version 6.0). Don't
try to force it. It can't be done.

There's nothing to fix. This is by design. The end user can decide to open
it in the browser by going to Edit > Preferences > Internet in Acrobat
Reader, and selecting "Display PDF in browser".
