Open your PDF reader. Found through the Start menu. Drag the saved PDF from the computer desktop to the reader. If the file is valid, it should open. Solved: Adobe PDF Files will not open in Internet Explorer 10 or 11 Can't display PDF files in the IE Browser Can't view PDF on web in Internet Explorer. When using Internet Explorer to open a PDF document you receieve the following error: Adobe Acrobat does not support Internet Explorer’s Enhanced Protection Mode (EPM). Either install the latest version of Adobe Reader or disable EPM in Internet Explorer.

'This web page wants to run ‘Adobe PDF Reader’ which isn’t compatible with Internet Explorer’s enhanced security features. If you trust this site, you can disable Enhanced Protected Mode for this site and allow the control to run.'

The Acrobat/Acrobat Reader plug-in for web browsers relies on the cross-platform plug-in architecture NPAPI, which had been supported by all major web browsers for over a decade. The following browsers have dropped support for NPAPI, and therefore Acrobat/Acrobat Reader plug-in does not work on these browsers anymore to display the PDF.

• Mozilla Firefox (v52 and above)
• Google Chrome (September 2015 release onwards)
• Apple Safari (v12 and above)
• Microsoft Edge
