You can disable the Adobe plugin and the PDF will open in another window. This is not solution for our customers who open an average of 20 catalogs a day. You are also asking thousands of users have their IT reset their browsers.

We use Adobe DRM to protect our product, so the user needs to use Acrobat or Reader to open the catalogs.
