How to set default program to open pdf file?

How do I choose the program that I want Leopard to use for the default program when I double-click to open a pdf document?

select a pdf file, enter command+I, in the resulting pop-up window click on "open with", select the app you want to use to open pdf files and click on "apply to all".

  • How to set default program to open file types

    What I am wanting to do is be able to open music saved in Apple Lossless format in other than iTunes, say in maybe Quicktime. I have most of my music in this format and want to keep them that way so when I want to add an album to iTunes it's already in lossless format. But as it is now with iTunes as the default, anytime I even play one song it is imported into iTunes and I have to go back and delete it.
    I am sure there is a way to make the default program for .m4a files not iTunes?

    If you are just previewing music files you can also click on the song and hit your SpaceBar on the keyboard to listen to the song.

  • How to set default program for pdf files

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the default program for opening a file type. For example I would like to set Adobe Acrobat as my default program for opening pdf files instead of preview
    thanks

    Control-click a pdf file and choose "Get Info". In the Info window choose which application to open the file with and then click on the "change all" button. Voila!

  • How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

    Basic Overview
    I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
    Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
    However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
    At Home
    If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
    At School
    At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
    Question
    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
    I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
    Thanks you to everyone who helps!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player.  So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home?  Flash Player Projector?
    If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

  • How do I set Excel as default program to open CSV files?

    I am using a program that creates CSV files which I wish to open with Excel. Currently, the CSV files just open as a raw data sheet on my computer. Support folks said I didn't have Excel as my default program to open CSV files; How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    You can only set an automatic download action for CSV to open with Excel is a website sends such a file with a supported MIME type. In other cases you need to select the application to use. You can set the default application via Windows Explorer to make Firefox offer that as first choice (right click a CSV file > Open With).

  • How do I change the default program that opens .acsm files?

    I am borrowing library eBooks to read on my Sony Reader.  I want to ensure that Adobe Digital Editions is the default program to open .acsm files, but am not sure how to do that.  Thanks for the help!

    Right (control) click on the .acsm file > select Open With > then select Adobe Digital Editions.
    Likewise you can select all of files in a folder with Edit > Select All > then Get Info and set them all to Open with: Adobe Digital Editions or whatever.

  • How to set default programs???

    How to set default programs?
    An example: when I click on a .doc it opens in TextEdit, but I want it to open with NeoOffice (to make that happen now requires right-click>open with>NeoOffice)
    How can I set NeoOffice as the default program for .doc, .xls, .ppt?
    And set default programs for other files?
    Thanks.

    redaple
    Select a .doc and go File -> Get Info
    In the resulting window you'll see a pane called Open With... Select your preference from the Drop Down. To make the new app default for all these types, click 'Change All...'

  • How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

    Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files.  How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?
    Message was edited by: veeryTalonted

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

    Why make life hard for yourself? Just right-click any .g3pp-file, then left-click "Open with". That's all!
