Hi,

My computer at works runs Windows XP, Service Pack 1, and IE Explorer
6.0. I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0.0.
When a .pdf opens in the browser now I find that I cannot rotate it as
there are no toolbar buttons for it. I can save the file and open it
in Acrobat Reader 8.0.0, but even then I have to go into View and
click on Rotate. I'm sure I can install custom buttons on the program
pane, but can I don't see any way to do it in the browser.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try pressing F9 to toggle the default main menu bar on/off after opening a
PDF in IE. In AR 7.0, F8 is used for that purpose. There's been lots of
changes in the GUI of AR 8.0 - better read up on them -

If you don't like the new stuff you can always uninstall AR 8.0 via
Add/Remove in Control Panel and go back and install AR 7.0

Tell Adobe to stick it & get Small, Fast, Clean, and FREE PDF Reader:

Just my 2¢ worth. Larry
Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
