How to open PDFs by default with Adobe Reader?

Hi everybody!!
I used to have Adobe Acrobat but I don't have it any more.
When I had Acrobat the PDFs in my sistem and the PDFs in the web were opened without problems by Acrobat but now I just have Adobe Reader (not Acrobat) and the PDFs in my sistem and on the web are not opened and can't read them...
Even the PDFs in my sistem don't show the PDF icon as when I had Acrobat installed.
What could I do to be able to open PDFs by default with my Adobe Reader?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Right click on a PDF file and select Open with, then select the Always open with button. Search for Adobe Reader and go from there. This is an OS feature, not a Reader feature. For further questions about Reader, check the Reader forum.

  • E-mail program won't open PDF attachments automatically with Adobe Reader

    When I get e-mail with PDF attachment I get a message saying I must open only from trustworthy source.  Then I click it open, but it won't open.  So I click save, and it is saved to desktop where I can then open it with Adobe Reader.  I prefer that Outlook automatically opens it with Adobe Reader when I click it just once.  I have updated Adobe Reader from 9.0 to 9.3.2, and it still won't work,

    I have had the exact same problem, i use windows mail because my computer was unable to run outlook for a reason i can't remember and this is dead-set exactly the process i go through constantly. I have unistalled/reinstalled adobe multiple times.

  • Firefox is unable to open pdf files even with adobe reader

    i am unable to open pdf documents with firefox . i have installed latest version of adobe reader for firefox but still i am having problem. older versions of mozilla do not have this problem

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] If it functions correctly, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Trying to open PDF in email with Adobe Reader app

    Citimortgage sent me a disclosure statement by email. I'm trying to open it on my iPad using the Adobe Reader app, but this is all I get.
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
    Help!

    George is correct. XFA forms (which the mobile Reader does not support) are often built with a generic error (like the one described) page that displays for Readers that do not support these document types.

  • I can't open pdf files even though adobe reader is downloaded.

    I can't open pdf files even though adobe reader X1 is downloaded.

    May seem like an obvious question but, did you install it after you downloaded it?
    If so, how are you trying to open these files and what happens when you try?

  • 2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

    Hello,
    We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
    Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
    At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
    We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
    Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
    Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
    Thanks

    I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
    Sorry I was not precise...
    When the file should open,
    for one application an error is happening,
    for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
    I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening  in adobe reader window...
    If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
    But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

    how to highlight a scanned doc with adobe reader x?

    Upgrade to Reader XI and you'll be able to use non text-related highlighting tools, such as the square, oval, cloud, polygon, etc.
    With Reader X these tools are only available if the author applied a special right to the file. In Reader XI they're available by default.

  • How do I open .dll files automatically with Adobe Reader through Firefox?

    Hi,
    When I print eBay labels through Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to open automatically in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change options to show "all files", and then locate the .dll file and open it.
    When I try to change the default application in Firefox preferences, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".
    Is there a way to have Firefox automatically open .dll files with Adobe Reader?
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    Steve

    That worked, thank you!
    I quit out of Firefox, renamed the file like you said, restarted my computer, and restarted Firefox.
    When I went to download a label, Firefox asked me which application to use, and I picked Adobe Reader. I also checked the box to make that the default. This automatically opened the file in AR, and then when I did it the next time it worked perfectly.
    Again, thank you so much for your help with this - although it's just a bit of time here and there saved it really adds up!
    Take care!

  • How to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw

    I know it is possible to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw using Bridge but is it possible to do this using PSE7?  Thanks.

    Yes. In the editor, File>Open As, and choose camera raw as the format. John Ellis also has a script for doing this directly from the organizer, but I don't have the link right at the moment. Hopefully he'll be along with it sooner or later.

  • How to View PDF slideshow created with Adobe Photoshop Album?

    Many years ago during the Windows ME era, I created several short PDF slideshows with software (Adobe Photoshop Album) that included audio.  I saved them to a flashdrive.  I believe I used Adobe Reader 7 to play them years ago.  I am now running Windows 7 and attempted to open/play the videos and all I could see is the individual slides with no audio.  Is there a way to view these slideshows with audio today?  Some of them have special meaning and I would appreciate any assistance on how to view them once again.  

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Ablum Starter Edition forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • How to open documents by default with Pages 4 ( "Change All", "Open With" info option)?

    Hello I installed Pages 5, which I don't like.
    So I would like to open all my documents by default with Pages 4. However, I can't get the system to fix this default. In the "Info" panel of the Finder, under "Open With", I can set Pages 4 as a default app for one single document, but when I ask to "Change All" documents and use Pages 4, the system refuses to use the setting I select, and keeps reverting to Pages 5. Any suggestion, short of uninstalling Pages 5? Although I don't like it, I need to use it sporadically, so I don't want to uninstall it.
    Thanks.

    As far as I know, there is not any built-in way to do this. Perhaps an add-on can modify how the "star" works or add a new button for this function?
    Until then, you'll have to continue changing the pop-up list:
    * when bookmarking a page, double-click the star, and change "Unsorted Bookmarks" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
    * when bookmarking a page, press Ctrl+d or right-click the page > click the star on the context menu, and change "Bookmarks Menu" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
    Some users like to drag the padlock or globe from the left end of the address bar to the Bookmarks Toolbar, but if you always want the new bookmark added at the end, then this is not efficient.

  • FDF file not opening in IE 8 with Adobe reader 9 or Adobe pro 9

    Hi
    I have a fdf file that is  working fine with IE 7 when I am using adode reader 9 or pro. But the  same fdf is not working fine if my browser is IE 8 . The target element   for the fdf is a file that is there in our web server. The same FDF is also working fine in IE 8 if the version is reader used is 8 or lower
    can any one help me to fix  this.
    Thanks in Advance
    RAVISH G

    I will add a "Me too" onto this thread. I have to use a third-party site which sends an FDF document (over Internet Explorer), however Adobe Reader doesn't load inside this browser window, but rather launches itself *outside* of this browser window (in standalone mode, more or less)...
    In fact, when Adobe Reader is loading outside the browser window the only thing I have here is the original PDF document where the data should be added on. The PDF file is actually a form but I have it displayed "blank", that is without any user-provided data. On Internet Explorer's point of view, I only have the "PDF File" icon in the center of my window, but nothing else (all white)
    Here are the specs:
    Toshiba Satellite laptop
    Windows Vista Home Premium, all patched
    Latest Adobe Reader available when typing this reply (9.3)
    I have: 
    Uninstalled, reinstalled Adobe Reader, but nothing better happens (Adobe Reader just pops out of the browser to display the original PDF file)
    Upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 (as I was running IE7 on this PC), also added the URL of the intranet site in question in my "trusted sites" in IESpeaking of Internet Explorer, I also did a "reset to default values" many times over this process
    Double-checked the values in the Windows Registry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to see that both FDF and PDFs are gonna be executed on Adobe Reader (I have no other PDF readers or writers installed anyway)
    Double-checked that the Activex control that is needed to be run so Adobe Reader can start is actually whitelisted in Microsoft's IE registry, more on this here
    Ensured that Edit, Preferences, Internet, "Display in the browser" is in fact checked. I did the extra mile here: I unchecked, pressed OK, left Adobe Reader then came back to enable it again just in case something doesnt get written accordingly to those settings in the UI.
    Now i'm out of clues
    For what its worth, only internet explorer gives me this problem, Firefox and Chrome just opens Adobe Reader inside the browser with the FDF provided.
