While surfing, the Internet Explorer always opens a new window as soon as you click a linked PDF file. This is irritating since earlier the browser displayed the document in the same window.
If you are using 64-Bit-Windows, by default you automatically surf with the 64-Bit-version of the browser. The ActiveX-control element ‘pdf.ocx’ installed by Acrobat for opening lined PDF documents is, however, only present in a 32-Bit-version—the browser cannot do anything about this. It passes on called-up PDF files to the 32-Bit-version installed in its system, which opens a new window. To avoid a window flood, go for a 32-Bitversion, which, by default, is installed by the Windows setup. To open this version, you have two options: you either go through the start menu and open ‘Start | Programs | Internet Explorer (32-Bit)’, or click ‘Start | Run’, enter the following command in the ‘Open’ field ‘C:\Programs (x86)\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe’ and confirm with ‘OK’. Here, ‘C’ stands for your system drive. If you want to work with this version more often, the best thing is to create a link on your desktop. For this, right-click an empty space on the desktop and select ‘New | Link’. In the following dialog, enter the command as you did in case of ‘Run’.
