Here's a suggestion taken from a web board found in response to a Google
search.
Do you still have this problem with Adobe 9 and downloading pdfs? I did
but found a very simple and easy fix which has worked for me. I use IE8.
In the Adobe menus choose Edit>Preferences>Internet and de-select
(remove x)the box marked "Display pdf in browser". I did this in both
programmes I have and it worked and I am now able to download pdfs
straight without having to right click and "save target as" which I
found very frustrating. It means that my pdfs open on the screen...as
they did before I upgraded to 9.
I hope that you had it re-solved before however this may help some other
frustrated soul.
