Hi there I have to make use of embedded pdf files in my page (management decision, please dont argue with me on this one, not my choice). I there a function or somthing to detect the presence of adobe reader to make sure the client has it installed, before continuing with displaying it in the browser. I was thinking of trying to do a find the adobe.exe file, but I dont think that to smart solution.

Look at javascript - navigator.plugins array. But I would not rely on it. one might have a pdf reader available without browser plugin
