Answer: 

Most internet browsers support 2 ways to view Adobe documents. One option is to view the PDF document within the browser, using the back button to go back to the docket sheet. The other option is to view the PDF document within the Adobe software, which will open the PDF document in a separate window outside of the browser in use.

If you wish to view the documents within the internet browser, in Adobe, select ‘Edit’ from the drop-down menu, click on ‘Preferences,’ then ‘Internet’. Please make sure that both the first box (‘Display PDF in Browser’) and the third box (‘Allow FastWeb View’) is checked.

If you wish to view the documents within Adobe, outside of the internet browser, uncheck the first box (‘Display PDF in Browser’) and the third box (‘Allow FastWeb View’).

Some browsers may not support these preferences. If this is the case, in Adobe, select ‘Edit’ from the drop-down menu, click on ‘Preferences,’ then ‘Internet’. Please make sure that both the first box (‘Display PDF in Browser’) and the third box (‘Allow FastWeb View’) are both unchecked.
