Now that PDFs generally open within a browser window, is it possible to show the PDFs title in the browser's title?

Using Acrobat Pro, I have added a custom title to my PDF documents and have also specified that these should display on the PDF header when the file is opened, but this doesn't show when the PDF is opened within a browser window (which seems to be the default for IE and Safari these days).

Does anyone know how to show the PDFs title at the top of a browser window when the PDF is opened within the browser window (instead of the document URL)?

Thanks.

I don't know a great deal about this I'm afraid, but I imagine it's browser-specific, so it would need to be written in by the browser manufacturer. I can't stand PDFs opening in the browser window, so I can't test it either i'm afraid ;)

Thanks Andy.

Oh well. I had a feeling this was a hopeless case.
