Adobe writer opening as default instead of reader

Hi All,
I have recently installed a copy of Adobe Writer onto my machine that already had an installation of Adobe Reader 9.0 on it. The reason for the old writer was to be able modify existing PDF's and the latest copy the company has liscence for.
I now have a problem of all the links on the web trying to automatically open with Adobe Writer, and as an old version will not open. I have to save a copy to the computer and then open with reader from there. Very frustrating.
I have made sure that in my Windows explorer options that Adobe reader is default for opening all PDF file types and have always perform this action ticked but for some reason explorer still continues to try and open the links in the writer. This then leads to an error saying that you need to be opeing document in reader 8.0 or later.
Does anyone know of a fix, without un installing the writer?
Thanks,
Dooners

Only thing that is assured to work is to upgrade your version of Acrobat to the newest and get rid of Reader or remove the Adobe Reader and install a third party reader (like Foxit). Two things about that is one, you may break Acrobat when you uninstall Reader and have to reinstall and two, Foxit Reader may or may not have all the functions you need for your particular use (or it may be all you need).

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

Is there a way to change the default action for clicking a "Print" button on a website to open Print Preview instead of the default system printer?

When I am at a website that contains a button for printing (Gmail, for example), is there a way to change the way that functions, so that when I click "Print", Firefox will open Print Preview instead of taking me to the default system printer?

You can apply system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

How do I change the download behavior so that the "save as" radio button is selected by default instead of "open with" in the download window?

For most file types whose download behavior is set to "always ask" the "save as" option is selected by default in the download window. However, for a few others the "open with" option is selected instead.
Note that Firefox is not automatically opening some files instead of saving them. I still get to choose between saving or opening them, but certain file types start with "open" selected whereas for others "save" is the default.
What I'm looking for is a way to change all file types to default to "save as" in the download window.

XSPF opens in Firefox instead of the default VLC

Hello,
I've been googling a lot and couldn't find a solution to this. As the title suggests, the problem is this: when I open an XSPF playlist (the application/xspf+xml mime type), it opens in Firefox instead of the VLC player, which I've set as default for this filetype. I've made sure it's set in the KDE's Default Applications, I've chcecked the mime types in ~/.local/share/mime/, and I've also checked the /usr/share/mime. VLC is the default everywhere. What am I missing out?

Hi roundabout-
I was able to see links in Mac Mail 4.5 open in Firefox. I had the Firefox application open, and when I clicked a link in the mail client it opened correctly. I'm sorry if this is not helpful. Is Firefox set as your preferred browser?

ITunes is somehow the default opening acsm files instead of digital editions

So, I am trying to borrow eBooks from the library and download them into Adobe Digital Editions and then transfer them to my Kobo, but it is not so simple. I can download the acsm file, but when I double-click to open it, it tries to open in iTunes instead of Adobe Digital Editions. I can then go to my downloads folder, right-click on it and "open with.." Digital Editions. Is there a way to change this default? On my father's MacBook Air (I have a MacBook Pro), when you double click on the download it automatically opens in Digital Editions. I just want it to work this way on my computer!
Also, I am having issues transferring from Digital Editions to my Kobo - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - and I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
=Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind=
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

If I click on a link in an e-mail in Thunderbird it opens in IE instead of Firefox, Firefox is my default browser. How do I fix this?

Even when I clicked on 'help' in Thunderbird it opened in IE. All of the help articles I've read tell me to make Firefox the default browser but it already is.

it seems possible that there was some corruption in your system (registry) and once you uninstalled Internet Explorer, your system didn't have any choice but to insist on opening web pages in the default browser (in your case, FireFox)
There are numerous ways to 'screw up' defaults - both as DEFAULT PROGRAMS, and as ASSOCIATED FILE TYPES (Control Panel)
If messing with the control panel doesn't work, another idea is to: SET INTERNET EXPLORER as Default, check to see that it works as expected, reboot your machine, SET FIREFOX as Default; reboot.
Win8 [ Control Panel \ All Control Panel Items \ Default Programs ]
Uninstalling may not be an ideal fix for those who use Internet Explorer occasionally --- as i do for "Print Selected" : I.E. allows you to "Print Selection" of text/images on a web page, and then VIEW (Print Preview) the selection and adjust the margins and 'Scale' so as to fit your selection in the correct SIZE and the correct NUMBER of pages. None of the plugins/extensions for FF seem to do this properly (in my experience).
Nonetheless (if you need Internet Explorer), it may be possible for users to do as "NIGH" has pointed out (uninstall Internet Explorer), reboot, and then immediately reinstall it. This may 'FIX' the OPEN IN [default] BROWSER issue (you might still have to go in and select FF as default), but you might have to accept other complications with the use of Internet Explorer - i.e. the different preferences that I.E. uses (that you had set before uninstalling) may have to be 're-selected' or 're-implemented'.
as always, 'your mileage may vary'

Periods Closed as Default instead of Peiord Open as Default

It is the default in BCS monitor that the period is open and must be manually closed. However, for ECC Financials just the oposite is typically the case. In the implementation of BCS we would like to set the default to have all periods closed with the opening of a period to be administered manually.
Has anyone found a way to acomplish this or something similar?

Hi Dan,
Periods in BCS is open by default. There is nothing like open period process.
However if you want to close the default period and open only as you need, should not be a problem.
But not sure why SAP has delivered the product with this feature. Does it serve some specific purpose not sure.

Flash Installer opens Internet Explorer instead of default browser

Every time I have installed Flash or installed an update, the installer concludes by opening my Internet browser to display its "Thank you and enjoy Adobe Flash Player. Here is another product that might interest you..." advert. The trouble is that it always opens it in Internet Explorer rather than my default browser. I never, ever use Internet Explorer since I consider it a major security risk and indeed the only time I ever see it is when I update Flash....
I've always wondered why the Flash Installer does this - every other program that opens a browser manages to open the default one, so how come Adobe's coders can't seem to manage it?

It typically opens the default browser regardless of which browser you're actually using. I'm wondering if there's a funky registry key or something that confuses things for your system.
Either way, we usually launch the default system browse, which is not necessarily the browser you started the installation with. This is a long-standing bad experience, and something that I complain to the team that makes the installer about on a regular basis. Everyone involved recognizes that the behavior is less than ideal, but it's a fundamental design problem and it's not something that can be addressed with a simple fix. It *is* very much on the radar as something that we want changed, and I'm pretty sure that it will get resolved in the installer over the long-term.
In the meantime, if you would like to avoid the Flash Player upgrade process entirely, Google Chrome includes Flash Player as a built-in component. There's nothing separate to download from Adobe, and all the updates are made available directly through Chrome's update mechanism.

How to change "open with" defaults via command line?!?

folks,
i know that if i get info on a file -- in this case, a filemaker 5.5 file -- i can choose the default "open with" settings and apply those settings to all files of that kind. see the attached image for what i mean.
but how do i do that via the command line?
thus far, here's what i've got: i know that i can open a document called "scrubbing shell.sh" on my desktop WITH either MS Word of TextEdit by calling:
open -a textedit /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
or
open -a Microsoft\ Word /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
no sweat. BUT....how do i set the defaults so that it ALWAYS opens with that app in the future when double-clicking via the GUI?
many thanks, ya'll!

Hi David,
   OK, I investigated the new format and treatment. It appears that the first entry in the property list file that matches the file being opened wins. The Finder may still honor the new format; when I moved my old Panther file into Tiger it seemed to work. However, in other ways, the Finder doesn't recognize the old format, which is the format of the FileMaker entries you posted.
   The Finder puts all of the new format entries at the beginning of the property list file. If you change a preference that was controlled by an old format entry, the Finder won't edit that entry. What it will do is to create a new entry in the new format closer to the beginning of the file than any of the old-format entries. SInce the new entry comes first, the old one doesn't apply. If you then edit the preference and change it back to what it was before, the Finder will edit the new entry. Consider the following sequence of events and commands:
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
I change all GIF files to be opened by GraphicConverter instead of Preview, which is an old setting in the old format.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<      <dict>
<         <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<         <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<         <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<         <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
<      </dict>
Then I change all the GIF files to be opened by Preview again.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<       <dict>
<          <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<          <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<          <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
<       </dict>
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
408c408
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
          <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
   Note that I had to change the file to text after every change because the Finder converted the file to binary format every time it edited it. I didn't have to logout or reboot; the property list file change less than a second after the preference was set. I'm guessing that because you were just looking at the old-format entry, you missed the real changes to your property list file. Did it change from text to binary format? Try the command line tools that I used above.
   Note that this means that it matters where you put your entries in the property list file if you edit it.

How do I change the "Open In" default from "Photoshop" to "Photoshop CC" in Bridge CC?

When I double click on a photo in Bridge CC to open it in Photoshop CC for processing, I get an error message. "Windows cannot find 'C:\program files\adobe\adobePhotoshop CS4 (64 bit)\Photoshop.exe." Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
I then tried File>Open in and discovered that "Photoshop" is the default instead of Adobe Photoshop CC as the default. I can't find anything in Edit>Preferences that enables me to correct the problem. What can I do?
CS4 was uninstalled years ago when I upgraded to CS5. CS5 has also been uninstalled.

Uninstalling previous versions can foul up file associations, as you have noticed. Here is a fix from a previous post that seems to work.
Hope this works for you.

***I BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE AND SOLUTION***
After looking at a new user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER and comparing it to the one on the original user, I found a registry value which was not changed, and should have been.
I found a key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
In other words, in my case, it was set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
Everything now works perfectly.

Adobe Reader tries to open all files even Excel and Word docs.

When I try to open files that are sent to me, the Adobe Reader tries to open them all instead of an Excel file getting opened automatically by Excel and a .doc being opened by Word.
The message I get by the Reader says it cannot open it, of course. (I have Windows Vista on my HP computer if that is the problem.) Someone told me to take the default off of the Reader so the files open and download in the proper software program, but I am unable to find such a "default" option in the Reader program properties.
I never had this problem with any previous Windows version, so not sure if it is my computer, or the Reader. How can I fix this so when I download or open a file, it automatically opens in the right software?

This means that the file associations of the various Office programs have been muddled up somehow. Try an Office repair install; that should correct the file associations.

You could use LibreOffice which is a free open source Office clone. The only downside is that by default it ddoesn't save in Office formats, you have to specifically choose that option. GoogleDocs is another free Office like product.
