- Enter "application" in the box labeled MIME Type.
- Enter "acrobat" in the box labeled MIME SubType.
- Select the "Okay" button, or press the "Enter" key.

- To save the document to your hard drive:
Select the "Save" radio button in the Action area.
- To launch the Acrobat Reader automatically upon receiving the .pdf file:
Enter the path to ACROREAD.EXE in the box labeled Launch Application:.
If you are unsure of the location of ACROREAD.EXE on your system, select the "Browse" button to search the drive(s) for your ACROREAD.EXE file.
Note: If you decide to launch the application
from Netscape, the file will be temporarily stored in your TEMP
subdirectory. In order to preserve a copy of the file for later
use, be sure to move or copy the .pdf file from your TEMP
subdirectory before closing Netscape.
- Select the "Okay" button.
When you now select an FTP link from the web pages, you will
either save the .pdf file to your hard drive, or automatically launch Acrobat
Reader, bringing up the .pdf file.
