Hi,
As the title says, am using Reader XI, IE 10, Win7 x64.
Every time I click a hyperlinked pdf, I get a new tab and a black x in the top left corner.
Astonishingly this behaviour persists if I disable the pdf reader add-ons (i.e. pdf's are not launched in a stand-alone reader!_
Here's the catalog of things I have tried:
1. Reinstalling Reader XI.
2. Uninstalling Reader XI, installing Acrobat Pro XI (same result).
3. Disabling all non-Adobe add-ins
4. Disabling all adobe add-ins to force pdf launch outside of browser (didn't work).
5. Going into Preferenced in Reader to stop browser loading of pdf's -- the option has been removed from XI.
6. Following all registry checks in the Adobe Q&A.
7. Toggling "do not save encrypted pages to disk" in IE10
8. Toggling "protected Mode option" in IE 10.
9. Toggling "Show Pictures" check box in IE10.
I've run out of ideas! H-E-L-P. If you can't assist with the root problem, perhaps directing me on how to allow pdf's to launch outside of teh browser -- would be great!
