We are pleased to announce that we worked with Adobe to improve access to PDF files. You can now open PDF files directly in Adobe Reader – and the PDF file will remain connected to SharePoint Online. You can also edit and save your changes to SharePoint Online from the desktop. And further, you can now use versioning (check-in and check-out) with PDF files for better management and review. We have improved the experience while maintaining the level of security you expect from Office 365.

To take advantage of this update, do the following steps.

Wait for the update to the SharePoint Online service, which is in progress now.
Upgrade Adobe Reader to the version 10.1.2 client.
Add your SharePoint Online root URL/domain to the Trusted Sites security zone in Internet Explorer¹ (e.g., https://contoso.sharepoint.com).
Check the Keep me signed in box when you log in to a SharePoint Online site.

This SharePoint Online update is currently being rolled out worldwide along with several other new features.

Thank you for your feedback and patience,

The SharePoint Online Team

¹To add your root site to the Trusted Sites security zone, open Internet Explorer, browse to your root SharePoint online site, click Tools, and then click Internet options. Click the Security tab, click Trusted sites, click Sites, and then click Add.

View PDF attachement on InfoPath form (2007)

Dear SharePoint Team,

We have a business case:
We published the InfoPath 2007 form (not web-based) to SharePoint site for our purchasing team. When reviewing the form, only people who have Adobe Professional installed can open the PDF attachment.
People with Adobe Reader cannot open and view the attachment on the form directly. If save the attachment and then open the file we can view the file with adobe reader.

Please advice what we should check and modify?

Thanks,
