Problem viewing PDF files in browser

Hi

I've noticed that quite often when i try to directly open PDF links in my browser (Google Chrome), they don't open...screenshot attached below. Yet i can download the pdf file using "save as" command, no problems there. Not sure if this is browser related as this also happens in Internet explorer. FYI i have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended installed. Any suggestions?

Adobe is a resource hog and bloated...uninstall and get Foxit, much smaller, and works very well.

If it asks custom or default install, select custom, deselect any toolbars etc, they are not needed.

There is a Chrome extension called "Ultimate Google Docs Viewer" which once installed will allow you to right-click a "PDF" link and do the following:

Opening in Google Docs Viewer
Opening in new tab
Opening in new window
Opening in new incognito window
Download file
Copy link address (* Pure JavaScript Solution)
Editing PDF's online

Also, Foxit is good but doesn't allow you to edit PDF docs whereas a program called "PDF Exchange Viewer" does.

thanks - I need something to replace foxit seeing it only opens pdfs in the browser with IE not Chrome.

I use foxit to open pdfs in browser windows. Previously whenever i click on a pdf link it downloaded it to hard drive. Then i found an option in setting (little bit hidden) which allowed me to open pdfs in browser.....
