We are supporting a TS that is also a DC -ugh! They are using WYSE
thin-clients with XP embedded to connect to the TS. They use Internet
Explorer connection on the thin-client to browse the web and need to
either view PDF files. Adobe Reader is not installed on the TS/DC.


What would be the recommended process for getting these thin-client
users to view PDFs?
Thanks

Correction..the thin-clients use WindowsCE
 
Re: Adobe Reader and TS

Install Acrobat Reader or FoxIt PDF Reader on the TS, and launch IE from a
Terminal Services Session, or see if your ThinClient Vendor has a PDF Reader
for your OS.

Since we do want our users using IE on the TS, that looks like are
only choice to see if WYSE has something for this.
 
Re: Adobe Reader and TS

I assume you meant to say that you do NOT want users running IE on TS, yes?

You are right, we DO NOT want them using the IE on the TS. Sorry about
the confusion.
