How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

  • How to configure and set a default view for contents of a data set

    Here is my scenario:
    I have a document library where each item is a "Plan".  "Plan" is of a custom content type that inherits from a Document Set content type but has some additional attributes such as Plan Type.  Inside each Plan, each item is
    a Plan Document which is of custom content type Plan Document which inherits from Document content type but has some additional attributes e.g. Document Status.
    So the hierarchy is:
    All Plans (document library)
         Plan 1  (custom content type that inherits from Document Set but also has a "Plan Type" attribute)
                 Plan Document   (custom content type that inherits from Document but also has a "Document Status" attribute
    When I click on the document library, I want to see all the folders (e.g. Plan 1) where one of the columns will be "Plan Type"
    When I click on an individual Plan (e.g. Plan 1) I want to see the contents of that custom document set.  At this point, since this page shows contents of one document set, I want to see the column "Document Status" but NOT Plan Type since
    Plan Type applies to the document set as a whole, not to an individual item in that document set.
    However, I don't think I have it set up correctly because right now the "Plan Type" column is visible both on the list of all document sets AND on the page that shows the contents of one document set.
    I've found a discussion on this topic here:
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/61565/how-can-i-set-a-custom-default-view-for-a-document-set
    where one person said "When you click on a Document Set content type in library settings, one of the options is "Document Set settings". The last option in this dialogue allows you to select a defined view on the library that will be used
    to show the contents of that Document Set."  I don't see that view selection.  The last item on the document set settings page is "Update List and Site Content Types".  The field before that is for customizing the Welcome page. 
    However, I don't want to customize the Welcome Page as a whole, I just want to customize the columns that are displayed on the list of content of this document set.
    thanks

    I finally found the answer:
    At the document library level, create a new view to use when displaying the files in the document set
    Go to the document library settings
    Select your custom content type (in my case it was "Plan")
    In the next screen select Document Set settings
    Select your newly created view at the Welcome Page View section
    Press Ok
    Now the default All Documents view will be shown when displaying all the document sets and the newly created view will be displayed when viewing one document set with the files within.

  • How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP  Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same server

    We have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro- English,Francais,Deutsch version 10.1.9 in our test environment and tried  testing it for converting SAP pages into PDF with a few pilot users. In doing so we faced a challenge, where only one user at a time can use Adobe Acrobat PRO to convert SAP pages in to PDF.As long as the first user who  is connected to Adobe Acrobat Pro via SAP isn’t logged off, other users connected to the same  server  are not being able to get the “Save As” dialog box to save the PDF in their preferred location.
    This is a business requirement and we need an urgent solution for the same. Can anyone help us in telling us if this is possible and if yes the how to go about?

    It's not something we deal with here, the LiveCycle products are a different world. Key points: Adobe LiveCycle is a range of products, some desktop, some server. LiveCycle PDF Generator is the one you should look at, it comes in 3 editions. License terms are by negotiation. Key management is via its Java API.

  • How to know what compression format is used for images in pdf file? (jpeg2000 issue with iPad)

    I have a pdf file whose images are compressed in jpeg2000 format which the iPad doesn't support. I used Acrobat to save the pdf file using the zip compression for the images and another time using the jpg compression. I set this in the PDF Optimizer screen. The images in the pdf do not show up in the iPad.
    I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. How do I know what compression was used for the images in a pdf file?

    My work around for now is "Make Compatible with…’ from Acrobat 4.0 " which does not support JPEG2000 compression.

  • How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP  Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

    Hi,
    In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
    Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

    1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
    2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.

  • How to set "Read mode" as default view for a pdf?

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to open a pdf in "Read mode" (to get the floating toolbar) whenever an user open it in Acrobat Reader. Is there anyway to set this option in the pdf like "Open in full screen mode"?
    Or
    Can we add any little javascript to acheive this?
    Or
    Is there any other way to get the floating toolbar and add it into the pdf whenever we require?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Muthuraj. D

    No. Read Mode is a choice made by the user, nothing in the document can force it to happen.
    There is no scripting or API access to the heads-up-display "floating toolbar".

  • How to make a big screen PLAY button for FLV which will fade away after the movie starts?

    I wanted to make play button. Kind of this huge one in the middle of the screen as users used to see on YouTube.
    Here is the code for it which seems to work:
    play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Play);
          function onClick_Play(event:MouseEvent) :void {
      SWF_flv2.play();
    The problem is it doesn't dissapear once the video plays. How shoudl it be done, the whole video has to go to another frame with no play_btn on it or there is a code which can make it fade away?

    The FLVPlayback component can be set to use any number of controls for the video playback. You should use those for playback control once the video has started. If you do want to create all of your own custom controls, here's an Adobe tutorial on the FLVPlayback control structure: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/components/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9c65b32-7f00.html

  • Setting the Default Homepage for all current and new users but leave it user modifiable.

    I am in the process of creating our new Windows Deployment Image based on Windows 7.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader my default PDF app.?

    Hey everybody. I haven't been around lately. Hope all are well!
    I'm trying to figure out how to make Adobe the default PDF viewer instead of Preview.
    Any ideas?
    I posted this in the Panther room, but figured I'd get a quicker response here!
    Al

    Thanks Allan.
    Good to see the usual gang is still here. Sorry for being such a stranger. I'll try and stick my head in a little more often.
    I'm still using my old beige with all the ease in the world. It's like nothing ever goes wrong anymore. I did have a little directory clutter not long ago that even gave Disk Warrior a hard time, but I prevailed in the end! This machine is so awesome.
    I never did make it out west. Right as I was ready to do it, gas went to $3.00 a gal. That killed that idea. Maybe sometime soon.
    Take care, Al

  • How do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file

    how do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file?

    What is your current default?  If Adobe Acrobat (X or XI), you can set it in your preferences.
    If it's another program, reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will set it to the default program.
