 Nancy,

I have never gotten the Adobe reader setting to work with it automatically
opening up  outside of a browser.     When the file opens in either Firefox
quantum or the latest chrome browser, go to the download button and press
enter. You then will have a choice to open or save the file.   I hope this
is helpful.
