Hi Edin,

I did that but the popup continues to show up. Strange thing is that is customer has also a moss 2007 running on windows 2003 (the popup shows up on windows 2008 moss sp2) with (as far as I can see the same config) which doesn not show the popup. Enable client integration is on both farms enabled.

Answer 3

Adobe PDF files are not natively known by SharePoint, therefore it treats it like any other object stored within SharePoint and askes the client operating system what it would like to do with the object.

Hi Dan,

yeah I know that but the strange thing is that the client config is okay. I know this because the problem is in our PRODCUTION environment but we als have a TEST farm (all vmware) and here I do not have the problem. So same client and as far as I can see (but I will probably be wrong somewhere) I configured the farms exactly the same (fi client integration enabled). So it mus be a server setting. Which settings interfere?
