Pdf viewer

PDFs show really great and fast in the viewer pane.
Unforunately I can only view the PDFs. No scaling. Highlighting. Etc.
I have a fully registered Acrobat X installed. There a way to get the full, or at least more, Acrobat functionality in the viewer pane?

Sounds like you are using the Adobe PDF Preview Handler, which is fairly cut-down in functionality.

Adobe Reader itself may work if the Preview Handler is disabled:

[ul][li]Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Viewer -> Viewer Plugins[/li]
[li]Click on the ActiveX + Preview + Office + Web plugin, then Configure[/li]
[li]At the top of the list that appears there should be Adobe PDF for Vista (or similar). Un-tick that, then click Apply.[/li]
[li]Close and re-open the viewer.[/li][/ul]

If it doesn't work, you may need to turn on Display PDF in browser within Adobe Reader's Internet preferences.

Depending on Adobe Reader and Internet Explorer versions/settings, it may still not work. (It's never worked on my main Windows 7 machine, but does on others. I've never worked out why. Same is true trying to view PDFs on web pages in IE, without any involvement from Opus.)

If none of that works, I'd recommend checking out PDF-XChange, which is an alternative free PDF viewer with more features than Adobe Reader and which also seems to be a lot less temperamental. (I have not used PDF-XChange very much so I've only formed a superficial opinion of it, but it seems good. I keep Adobe Reader installed, not so much because I like it but because it's better for testing compatibility with what most people use.)

That solved part of the problem.
I now have full Acrobat viewer functionality.
The viewer window was named (Adobe PDF for Vista (32-bit)) and now is named (Internet Explorer 32-bit)
A big improvement but unfortunately I still don't have access to the editing functions (I have the full Acrobat installed not the Reader)

I'm not sure if Adobe provide editing in any of their preview handlers of ActiveX components. I'm not an expert on Acrobat, though, so maybe they do.
