When viewing PDF’s in a web browser it doesn’t show a toolbar?

November 17, 2011

Browser Compatibility: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.  Careful, Chrome has its own built in viewer also.
Learn how to switch PDF Viewer from Chrome PDF Viewer to Adobe PDF Viewer.

The setting for PDF view within the browser is within Adobe Reader (Free Version).  Follow the settings to display toolbar PDF inside your browser:

Step 1 – Open Adobe Reader

Step 2 – From your Adobe Reader click on “Tool –> Preferences”

Step 3 – Select the “Internet” category from the left navigation bar

Step 4 – Un-check “Display in Read Mode by default”

Step 5 – Close Adobe Reader

Step 6 – Try opening a PDF document inside the browser and now your document will display toolbar option.

**Shortcut Alert**
When viewing the PDF document inside the browser click on “ESC” button on your keyboard while your document is selected.  Toolbar will appear immediately for the specific document.
