| 271922 | 2004-09-13 06:50:00 | After downloading forms and that sort of stuff with Firefox and WinXP home, I try to close either or both of Adobe 6 reader and Firefox version 0.9. After a usually long wait, where nothing happens, a message appears "One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser. If you exit Adobe reader now, these documents will be closed. Are you sure you want to exit?" After having done my thing on the PDF I usually want to quit Adobe Reader, but keep the web browser open. So, how do you close Adobe Reader inside a web browser without a long wait and (eventually) closing the browser? |

| 271923 | 2004-09-13 06:56:00 | I think this could be a glitch with reader 6. I usually open PDF's in a new window but most still seem to take an inordinately long time to close, depending on the size of the file I think. Cheers Murray P |

| 271925 | 2004-09-13 08:21:00 | Why don't you just right-click on the tab which contains the PDF window and select "Close Tab"? | Jen C (20) | ||

| 271927 | 2004-09-13 12:42:00 | Yeah Adobe Reader 6 is a real pain and on my next install will be installing it before Mozilla, hopefully so it won't take over the browser. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 271928 | 2004-09-15 03:01:00 | Appreciated the feedback on this, but: >Adobe Reader 6 CE will work fine in Firefox. I can't remember where I d/led it from, sorry. What's Adobe Reader CE, and does it work fine in alleviating the problem raised? >Why don't you just right-click on the tab which contains the PDF window and select "Close Tab"? I suppose I don't coz it takes just as long and gives the same message. i.e. it makes no essential difference. >back button is what I normally use. With this particular situation myback button is grey, not green as usual. i.e. back button doesn't work in this case. |

| 271929 | 2004-09-15 03:13:00 | I was playing with Acrobat5 (to make it readable on a laptop screen) last night and I came across some options covering the way it handles opened files. I left them alone, but I got a similar prompt when I was shutting down. Explore the top line menus for the "Preferences". 6 will have the same settings. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 271930 | 2004-09-15 10:48:00 | I think the CE stands for Central European, I got this product by putting in an English speaking country but it was a while ago. I had the same problem as you that every time I read an Adobe format document within my browser it would take ages to load and close. I read somewhere of this solution and it definitely works. It does not have all the features of version 6 but is fine for reading Acrobat documents in or out of the browser. Try getting it from here: www.pacific.adobe.com |

| 271931 | 2004-09-15 10:50:00 | By the way version 5 was better than version 6 as far as opening in browsers goes and I was thinking of switching back to version 5 before I came across this solution. | zqwerty (97) | ||
