1) In Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), go up to the
EDIT menu item and select
PREFERENCES. The window below
will appear.
2) In the left box, select RECEIVING
FILES and then FILE
HELPERS.
3) In the right box, scroll through the
MIME TYPES to look for
.PDF. (Note the period
{.} before the PDF. You need
it.) If you find it, click on it and then click on the
CHANGE button at the bottom of
the box. If it does not exist, click on the
ADD button.

The directions below (4-8)
refer to the EDIT FILE HELPER box
below.

4) Fill in the top section of the box titled
REPRESENTATION using the
diagram below as a guide.
5) In the second section of the box titled
FILE TYPE, click on the
BROWSE button to locate where
on your computer you have stored the
ADOBE ACROBAT READER
program. Once you have located the program, double-click on
it and the remaining pieces of information in this section
will fill themselves in.
6) In the DOWNLOAD DESTINATION
section, select a folder on your hard drive where you want
files downloaded from the Internet to be saved. You can
create a special folder ahead of time (ex. Downloads)
or use an existing folder. (You select the Downloads
folder through IE's preferences also. It is much simpler
than this process.)
