In your Acrobat Reader,

Edit > Preferences > Internet
Uncheck: Display PDF in browser

You will probably have to save the pdf file to your hard drive first, then
select the file and open it from there. It should then open in the adobe
reader application instead of inside of the Internet browser.

But in most website you can not choose to save the , and it will then
automatically open in Internet Explorer, this unacceptable because then
Internet Explorer becomes unusable until it opens the PDF, and the PDF is
usually unreadeble, or extremely slow to go true, and also everytime that I
want/need to consul the PDF I need to be online.

There must be a way to disable/prevent Acrobay from doing this

If you want to save the PDF to disk, without opening it, you can
right-click on the link to the PDF file, then choose "Save Target As".
Browse to the location where you want to save it to, then click "Save".
When the download is complete, you can click on "Open" in the download
window, or double-click the icon of the file in whatever folder you
saved it to. (TIP: This also works for other file types that
automatically open in Internet Explorer or Windows Media Player)

Alternatively, if the PDF is already open in Internet Explorer, you can
click the SAVE icon of the PDF plugin to save a copy to your hard disk
somewhere.

You may also want to update you Acrobat Reader...

I already use the latest version of Acrobay, but in most webside the
right-click option does not work because they use some kind of script when
you click on them the the PDF will open in Internet Explorer.

And I already knew that tip for all link, but the only one that still keep
opening in Internet Explorer is PDF, all other were trying to open directly
in Internet Explorer I was able to modify that behavior.

I do not understand why anyone would want anything else but web content
(html, or asp, aspx) to open in Iternet Explorer, that is the reason why the
Internet is so slow, and it's just getting worse. If all those alien content
would just be downloaded it would be alot faster and easier for all

You can always temporarily disable the use of scripts, use the
right-click/save target as, and then re-enable IE7 scripting. But
seriously, thats way too much effort. Just letting the PDF load
completely into IE7 and then using it's own Save commands is a better
(and faster) solution than trying to bypass "right-click-blocks". When
you have saved the PDF this way, just click back to returns to the page
that originally contained the PDF link


Also, try CTRL-clicking the PDF link to force it to open in a new tab.
That way, so don't lose focus of the page you're currently viewing.

An alternative (and possibly, acceptable) solution for you:

- Open Internet Explorer 7
- Click "Tools"->"Manage Add-ons"->"Enable or Disable Add-ons"
- Disable the "Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper"
- Click OK
- Close Internet Explorer 7If my guess is correct, from now on, whenever you click on a link that
is to a PDF file, you'll be prompted to either open it, or save it...
