I am on a National Parks Service site and want to open a brochure. It is a PDF file. When I select the file nothing happens. If I open it in a new tab I get a blank screen. The site is good because I can open it with IE.

In firefox: Tools -> Options -> Applications->PDF Document...Select: Use Acrobat Reader & press OK

it opens in adobe acrobat reader in main application, not in browser... This is my preffered action :)

That is it ;)

I found that updating your Acrobat plug-in can help solve this problem. Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> then tab over to Plug-ins and click Find Updates.

The add on download pdf (Nitro) works very well. It asks you if you want to read on line or download (or does automatically what you prefer). Pretty neat solution.
