Adobe PDF Files Kill Opera 10.51 - How Do I Circumvent Opera for PDF Links?

The subject says it all, but restated, anytime I follow a PDF link in Opera 10.51, Opera says it cannot display the page, and then it dies. It doesn't just crash with the display of a crash window. It simply vanishes from my task list and I have to relaunch it, which also reopens the link that killed the Opera process. So I want to find out how I can configure Opera to just launch the external Adobe Acrobat Reader or automatically give me a Save As window so I can simply treat it as a download and open it outside of Opera. I'd rather open them that way in any browser, but I don't know how to stop Opera from trying to open it within its own environment.

Thanks,
Damaeus

Thanks for the reply. I found more options there than I anticipated and selected to have all PDF files saved to the same directory automatically.

Thanks again. smile
