When you click a PDF link on a web page, it can open either within the web browser or directly in Acrobat Reader DC or FoxitReader. Each browser has its own settings to control how PDF's open from a web page. Browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome offer a built-in PDF viewer that does not support XFA-based PDF forms. To view XFA-based PDF forms in these browsers, you must configure to open PDFs using Acrobat Reader DC or FoxitReaderyour default Windows PDF reader.
