By default, PDF documents are displayed in the OnBase internal viewer. Using the internal viewer gives these documents access to full OnBase functionality (i.e., notes, cross-references, etc.).

However, in cases where full Acrobat or Acrobat Reader functionality is required, Acrobat or Acrobat Reader can be configured to display PDF documents within OnBase instead of the internal viewer.

CAUTION:

Be advised that although full Acrobat or Acrobat Reader functionality will be available to these documents, OnBase functionality (i.e., the ability to add/modify Keyword Values, notes, cross-references, etc.) will not be available to PDF documents opened outside of the OnBase internal viewer.

To configure Acrobat or Acrobat Reader to display PDF documents within an instance of Acrobat or Acrobat Viewer instead of the internal viewer:

  1. Open Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  2. Click Edit | Preferences and select Internet from the Categories list.
  3. In the Web Browser Options section, de-select the Display PDF in browser check box.
  4. Click OK and exit Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
  5. Re-launch the OnBase Client module. PDF documents are now displayed in an instance of Acrobat or Acrobat Viewer instead of the internal viewer.
    Users will not have access to OnBase functionality (i.e. the ability to view/modify Keyword Values, Notes, Cross-References, etc.) from within Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
