Change the launch default to Adobe Reader 9 (instead of Acrobat 6)?

I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded.  Until a week ago I could launch
PDF files in a broswer without difficulty.  They would launch in Adobe Reader 9.  Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a message:
"The Adobe Acrobat / Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser.  Adobe Acrobat version 8/9 is required."
It seems that Acrobat 6 is the default now for PDF files.  How do I change the default Adobe Program that launches back to Adobe Reader 9?
Confused,
Simple Mind

Hii.
Go to any PDF file, Right click it ->Propoerties-> in open with select ADOBE READER 9 and OK...
I hope it will work. Or innopenwith option select reader 9 and click the check box below-"Always use this....."

  • How do I change the font size on Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    I recently purchased an HP  laptop running Vista. It came with Adobe Reader 8.1.2.  I can't change the font size in a form that I am filling out.  I can cut& paste a different font size into the form but not change the font size.  Someone said that it is a free download so I won't be able to change the font size. Does anyone know a fix?

    To change the font size in PDF forms, one needs to have Adobe Acrobat rather than Adobe Reader.

  • Changing the installation path for Adobe Reader X under Windows XP

    I installed Adobe Reader on an external drive called G:\
    Now I do not have this G:\ drive anymore and I want to install Adobe Reader X on my main drive : C:\ but when I download the software there is no possibility to select a new path.  Adobe Reader X automatically tries to install itself on the G:\ drive and fails with the comment : G:\ Drive is no longer valid.
    How can I force the installation on my C:\ drive in the Progam Files ?

    I have had no luck with this solution.  All that happens is that the WINDOWS INSTALLER window open itself...  Any idea ?  I am at a lost here !!!  Thanks
    Firstly go to control panel -> Add Remove Programs and check if there is any entry for Reader X. If it is present, uninstall it by clicking on uninstall button (it gets highlighted when you select reader X entry in Add Remove Programs). Let the uninstallation complete. Download Reader from adobe site  http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise  on to your local machine. Install then using command line  msiexec /i  INSTALLDIR="Location to Install" /qb

  • How do I change the default printer in the newest version of adobe reader?

    Just downloaded the newest version of adobe reader and am unable to link it to my cannon printer

    Hi fldiva,
    Do I understand correctly that your Canon printer doesn't show up in the Printer drop-down menu in Reader's Print dialog box? Does it show up in other applications?

  • How can I change the color and size of the freehand tool in Adobe Reader on the IPAD?

    How can I change the size and color of the freehand tool in Adobe Reader for IPAD?

    One more step I didn't mention. After making your freehand drawing, you need to click Save (upper right) to let Reader know you're finished drawing. Then click on it, and the contextual menu will look like this:

    This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

  • I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader, but I am unable to use it until it is launched. What do I need to do to launch it?

    I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader, but I am unable to use it. How do I launch it?

    You can't open it from the Applications folder?
    The pre installed Preview app in your Applications folder can open PDF files.

  • Can highlight color be changed on the free version of adobe reader?

    can the highlight color be changed on the free version of adobe reader?

    You could possibly "insert" the .eps into a MS Word file (or most desktop publishing applications) and view it that way. Other than that you would need something like Adobe Illustrator to work with the file.
    Of course another option would be to use Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF of the file...

  • Recently no matter what I do, Firefox will not allow me to use Adobe Reader instead of it's own

    I used to be able to display pdf documents using Adobe Reader instead of Firefox's built in. I have tried everything that you suggest and that Adobe suggest. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (11.0.09). I have gone to the options in Mozilla but when I try to change the Portable Document settings, I don't get the option for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I do get the for Adobe Forms, but not for PDF documents. If I change it to use Adobe Reader, it downloads and then opens reader which is not I want. I want to use the plugin which is installed (I go to Add-ons and it is installed and "always activate").
    Help? This only started happening in the last month or so. I am running latest released Firefox (33.0.2), Windows 7 (up to date with all updates, etc.).

    That doesn't solve the problem. I have all those defaults. But in Firefox, it won't let me select for "Portable Document Format" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" which it used to let me and which is what the Mozilla Firefox help stuff says to do. I can select Adobe Reader but then it downloads it and opens it in a separate reader window rather than using the plugin. If I select to let Firefox "Preview in Firefox", then the Firefox built-in PDF reader will display it. I have added an add-on "pdfViewerSwitcher" which then lets me display in the Adobe Reader plug-in but only after first displaying it in the Firefox preview. So that verifies that the Adobe Reader plug-in works. But I can't set it to always use the Adobe Reader plug-in.
    I have some reasons for wanting to use the Adobe Reader plug-in. I use Nuance Power PDF Pro for editing and doing other things with pdfs.
    This all used to work and stopped working at some point in the last couple months. And if you search the web, you will find I am not the only one with this complaint.
    I don't know whether it is Adobe's fault or Mozilla's fault but at least one of them is broken. And I think it is Firefox since it won't even let me select it but does let me select it for Adobe Forms.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,

  • How do I choose Preview as default over Adobe Reader?

    Once you update one thing . . . can of worms.  How do I choose preview as default over Adobe Reader?
    Here's why I want to change the default viewer, in case anyone has ideas: When I updated to Reader X (as required by some of our industry-specific programs) my Quickbooks Online financial program no longer prints in either Safari or Firefox.
    I called QB and they said they only support Reader 9.3. Uninstalled Reader X, tried install 9.3. No go--isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.6.7. Gave QB my "thoughts" on their not being up to speed with Reader updates . . .
    So, maybe changing to Preview as the default reader will work. Adobe 10 has overruled Preview.
    How do I set the preference to go back to Preview?
    Any help appreciated, thanks.

  • Download errors - defaulting to Adobe Reader regardless of file format.

    Before this week, whenever I would download a file, a box would pop up asking me if I wanted to Open the file or Save It. In either case, a file would be found in my Download  folder as expected. A week ago, I reluctantly added an old version of Office for Mac (2008) to my 2012 Mac mini (OSX 10.8.5) and since then, every file I try to download, no matter what the format, seems to default to Adobe Reader when I try to open the file.  All the files have a .part extension and when I try to open them, an error message like this follows: "Adobe Reader could not open 'owUNL4ca.part' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). How do I fix this?

    In the Finder, select a file of the type in question, then select
    File ▹ Get Info
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination command-I. In the General section of the Info dialog, select the application you want from the menu labeled Open with. If the application is not in the menu, it may not be able to open that kind of file, but if you know otherwise, select Other… Then click Change All… and close the dialog.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.
