How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

Hi Harry
You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • HT2506 How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

    How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

    I'm assuming you want the default programme to change from Preview to Graphic Converter so that clicking on the file would open Graphic Converter instead of Preview.
    Control click on the file type that you want to open using Graphic Converter. Press Command+I for Get Info. Click on the triangle next to Open With. Select Graphic Converter and Press Change All...

  • How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US?

    Hi,
    I live in Québec, the french part of Canada. Because I use French, iWork think I leave in France, so the default templates are in A4.
    How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US? It seem's impossible. In Pages 06, each language folder had templates. But with Pages 08, it's different.
    Please help.

    Autre façon : Ouvre un nouveau document. Il va être en A4. Dans le menu Fichier--->Format d'impression. Une fenêtre apparaît. Dans la ligne... Taille du papier, tu choisis... Lettre US; tu fais OK. Ensuite tu sauves ce document comme modèle. Menu Fichier----> Enregistrer comme modèle et tu lui donnes le nom, par exemple... USLettre.
    Ensuite, va dans le menu Pages, va dans préférences et dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre - Préférences générales - tu choisis : Utiliser le modèle... et tu cliques sur Choisir... à droite un peu en bas de Utiliser le.... et là, dans la fenêtre qui va apparaître, tu trouves le modèle que tu viens de faire...USLettre.
    Voilà. Chaque fois que tu vas ouvrir Pages, ce sera USLettre qui sera là par défaut.
    J'espère que ça va te satisfaire.
    Évidemment l'idéal serait de pouvoir changer la template Vierge par une template Vierge US... mais j'ai pas encore réussi.

  • How do I change the default PDF viewer on my iPad so I can easily see annotations?

    I keeping missing annotations on PDF because the built-in iPad Mail viewer does not show annotations.  To limit the keystrokes, instead of  using "open with" on each PDF email attachment to view in a third part app, I'd like to just change the mail default viewer. Is that possible with the current iPad operating systems?

    No it is not possible to change the default pdf viewer in mail.

  • How do I change the default paragraph style from Body Text?

    The default paragraph style in my email setup is Body Text. This does not wrap properly for some recipients, but Paragraph does. How do I change the default so that Paragraph is automatically used when I start a new email?

    There are two types of defaults: defaults for all new documents and defaults for the current document. To change the default for any open document make sure no text frame is active and change the formatting as desired in either the Control panel or the Character and Paragraph panels. To change default formatting for new document (those not yet created) do this while no file is open. You can’t change the defaults for several documents at once without a script.

  • How do I change my default file reader from Preview to Adobe in Firefox 3.6.28

    I have always used Preview as my default download reader, however now some documents such as utility bills can only be opened using Adobe 9 reader. My question is this, how do I change my default reader to Adobe 9 in Firefox 3.6.28, Mac OSX 10.4

    Unrelated to your issue, it looks like you're using a very old version of Firefox. You should upgrade to the latest version, Firefox 11 -- just go to the Help menu and click Check for Updates. This link walks you through the process: [[Updating Firefox]]

  • How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

    Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

    I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

  • How do i change the default image rulers from cm to pixels?

    Im having an issue with PS CC 2014. I am not able to change the default setting when I create a new image. It is currently set to cm and I would like it in pixels. I have gone to:
    Photoshop > Preferences > Units & Rulers and changed the settings but it always defaults back to cm. Is this a known glitch or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    Dizl

    Are you talking about the units in the File - New dialog, then?  Seems to me that one will remember whatever you last successfully used.
    If you do File - New, then set the units to Pixels, and actually complete the dialog (creating a new document), I believe that's what you'll get next time.  Is that not happening for you?  I just tested it here and it puts up whatever units I used last.
    I don't know if Mac vs. PC might make a difference.  I'm on PC.
