Detecting Reader and Version from the browser.

[SharkTooth]

Does anyone know how I could detect Adobe reader and it's version number from the browser? I want to be able to tell them to upgrade if they are still using version 4.

Thanks for your help.

I was looking for the same thing. I found this link that seems to have found a way to detect the version.

Thanks, looks like helpful information. I did figure out how to detect ver 5 or better using VBScript and JS (for NS). I never really found a way to check for version 4 in IE so we assume they don't have what we need (ver 6)m and handle it from there. I'll post the code tomorrow.

The Adobe Forums were helpful. Check the Script and SDK forum at:
