It is possible for PDF’s to open in a Web Browser rather than Adobe. This can either be done as Default for all users, or for specific users only, by adding a System Parameter in System Parameter Maintenance.
​
To set it up for All Users, follow the steps below:

  1. Enter the System Parameter Maintenance program

  2. Click New

  3. In the Key field type Use WebBrowser for Adobe

  4. Leave the Code Field Blank

  5. In the Value field type Yes

  6. Click Save


To set if up for Specific Users Only, follow the steps below:

  1. Enter the System Parameter Maintenance Program

  2. Click New

  3. In the Key field type Use WebBrowser for Adobe

  4. In the Code field, add the User numbers for each user you want the rule to apply to, separated by a comma: e.g. β€œ180,52,32,66.” User numbers can be found in User Profiles

  5. In the Value field type Yes

  6. Click Save

If you or your system administrator does not have access to System Parameter Maintenance, please raise a support ticket quoting this article.
