Open all PDF using Preview instead of Adobe Reader

I recently install Adobe Reader and now all files are opening with Adobe Reader instead of Preview. I want to change the default to Preview for all PDF files. I did choose open with option key down... so that I can select open with... and then chose the option "always open with...". However this only changes the default application for the single file I chose and not to ALL PDF files. When I try to open any random PDF file, it defaults to Adobe Reader, even AFTER I selected "always open with... Preview" on a difference file. Any ideas on how I can make sure the Preview opens for ALL PDF files as default?
Thanks,

Have you made the change in the get info window? Control click on a PDF and choose get info. Scroll down to change all and click on that:

  • How do I change my internet preferences to use Preview instead of adobe reader?

    Somehow my preferences have been changed so that when I open a .pdf file in Safari, it opens using Adobe Reader. How do I change this setting so these files open up using Preview?

    I TRASHED Adobe Reader... where it belongs. Somehow, and sadly, Apple dropped the GET INFO from under the program name, where it had been before. Command I is now short hand for Command Inspector - i.e. no longer Command Info as was in previous versions of OS X.
    So, under Command I, there is no selection to make Preview the Default PDF viewer. How 'bout that? Sad is what I say. I think Apple should be a little weary here, go on Offense, and have an OBVIOUS workout to make Preview, any/all of its programs, the Default program.

  • Cannot open the pdf/videos in my Linux, Adobe Reader 9. It fires an error...

    By any chance have someone help me with this issue?  Thanks!

    thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
    the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
    I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
    How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
    Appreciate your quick response.

  • In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

    When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

    My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
    window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
    externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
    computers:-)
    Anyway, we have the same question.
    How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
    Safari, or external in Adobe?
    This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
    Thanks!

  • How do I get back to having Preview as the dominant pdf file software instead of Adobe Reader

    Somehow Adobe Reader became the dominant pdf file software and I much prefer Preview software with Apple.

  • Getting black screen while opening compounf PDFs in Redhat Linux 64bit & adobe reader 9.5.1

    Hi All,
    I am unable to open compound PDF files in adobe reader 9.5.1 in Redhat Linux 64 bit. all I get is a black screen. Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Regards,
    Gary.

    Hi All,
    I got the solution to view compound PDFs \ PDF portfolios in Redhat Linux.
    Use the native PDF viewer (Evince - Document Viweer). In the left panel, where it usually shows 'thumbnails' - select 'attachments' from the drop down menu. This will show you all the embeded PDF files. Just double click to view.
    Regards,

  • Why can't I open up PDF's when I have Adobe Reader installed?

    Hello,
    I'm using Tiger and whenever I get to a website where I want to download a PDF or view it my computer won't let me. I get this wording that says it can't find a program to install even though I have Adobe Reader. I have Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and then I just installed Adobe Reader 9.
    Is there a way to fix this problem?

    ... whenever I get to a website where I want to download a PDF or view it my computer won't let me. I get this wording that says it can't find a program to install even though I have Adobe Reader
    Do you mean the browser won't let you download and that message appears in the browser or do you mean the message appears after you have downloaded and try to open the file?
    If the former have you tried Control-clicking the link in the browser to save the file to your HD?
    If the latter have you tried dropping the file onto the Reader (or Preview) icon?
    Can you open the Reader you have installed by double clicking its icon?

  • My Mac is opening my doc in preview instead of Adobe. I loaded the latest version. It still opens in preview and I get a blank page even though the doc is there. How do I handle this?

    How do I open a doc in adobe instead of preview?   Three Imac people in a group all having the same problem. I was told to download the latest Adobe, which I did. I still cant view the document even though I downloaded it to read it. It keeps opening in Preview and shows up blank. Help!

    Right click on the document and select Open with-Adobe Acrobat. Or right click on the document and select get info, go to the open with drop down menu and select Acrobat. If you want all documents of that type to open with Acrobat check the box.

  • I am unable to open online pdf files. I have Adobe reader, and have reinstalled it, but to no avail

    When I click on a link to a pdf. a new window opens and then it says "Done" at the bottom, but the page is completely blank. This happens every time - I am never able to view them.

    Have you read this article: [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]

  • When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open.  Please help!

    In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden).  Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set.  I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open.  In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Marc

    That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

  • Download and then open PDFs with Preview instead of viewing PDFs within Safari

    hello, I am running Safari 6.0.2 and since this update PDF files are automatically opened within Safari. This seems to be a new feature. In my older version of Safari whenever I clicked a pdf it was downloaded to my "Downloads" folder and then automatically opened with Preview. The option open "safe" files after downloading in Safari -> Preferences -> General is ticked. So as soon as a download a PDF file it should automatically be opened with Preview. However, I cannot figure out how to download a PDF file from a google link. I googled and people suggested to use alt + mouse click on the google search result link to download the PDF. However, whenever I tried this instead of downlading the PDF file it downloads a .html file which is then apparently not opened. Also using the option "download linked file" or "download linked file as" only downloads a url.html file and not the PDF. I searched and searched for any possible solutions but cannot find any. I am really suprised that no one has yet really complained about that. Any ideas of how to fix that problem?

    I had a similar probem after updating to the newest Safari -- and I posted that question on the forum this morning.  Like you, I didn't have any adobe plug-ins.  then I read another post that made sense:
    find a pdf document that you know opens in Preview. Do a command-I on that document's icon.  Then you'll see 1/2 way down an item that says "open with Preview" - click on the arrow beside that, then beside it you'll see "use this application to open all documents like this one"  Under that, you'll see "change all" -- and it will change all pdfs to automatically open with Preview instead of Adobe.From then on Safari worked perfectly
    Then I wondered why I didn't have the Adobe plug-in that people were telling me to disable - so I downloaded Adobe Reader again - looked in the library and sure enough there was the plug-in - so I went ahead and disabled the Adobe pdf plug-in (by dumping it in the trash).
    so far so good -- first time that Safari 6.02 has worked for me since I installed it.
