Open PDFs attached to features directly in Adobe Acrobat instead of Browser window

Hi everybody

I would like to ask if it is possible to open PDFs attached to features directly in Adobe Acrobat instead of opening them in a browser window. Our users regularly use Adobe tools, such as measuring on the PDFs, and this functionality would greatly improve their workflow.

Is there a setting or a recommended approach to achieve this?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Sinje

  Hey Sinje,

  this should be a settings-issue in Adobe Acrobat. Reset the Display PDF In Browser preference.
  
  1. In Reader or Acrobat, right-click the document window, and choose Page Display Preferences. 
  2. From the list at left, select Internet. 
  3. Deselect Display PDF in browser, and then click OK.
