Acrobat Pro 11 - How to suppress default application pop-up

We've got the Creative Cloud desktop apps license, so I used the creative cloud packager to build an Acrobat Pro Package. I just deployed the pkg to a test Mac OS X system with no problems. Since this is for a school computer lab environment I need to suppress the pop-up box that says "Adobe Acrobat Pro is not the currently configured to be the default application for PDF Files. Would you like to make PDF files open with Adobe Acrobat Pro instead of Preview?" (See below). I do not want to change the default application, and most importantly I do not want users presented with this pop-up. I combed through the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences and nothing's jumping out at me. I've read through a lot of the documentation on this site and can't seem to find a list of all of the keys, sorry if I'm missing something obvious, and thank you for any help.

That is an OS setting not an application setting. There are utilities that can help you do this but you probably will need to write a she'll script to do it. This link might help explain what needs to happen but you will need to create/write the script on your own.

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages)?

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages) without changing the properties on every single pdf?

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide
setting.

Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
-line color: yellow
-line thickness: 8pt
-opacity: 60%
and fot the arrow tool as this:
-line color: red
-line thickness: 1pt
-opacity: 100%
This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
-line color: yellow
-opacity: 60%
only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
Is there a way to get around this?

Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
Hope this helps. /rmbrown

Acrobat Pro displays bitmapped when opening application. Do i need to re-install this?

I recently bought Adobe Creative Cloud. I bought several of the applications for desk top publishing. The Adobe Acrobat Pro does not display very well. It appears bitmapped, nothing in the applicaiton seems shape. This is also seen in the high resolution pdfs I have opened. Do I need to re-install this application or is there something that I need to download?

Hi kevind45759405,
Since you are an annual subscriber of Acrobat XI, you are eligible to install the latest version of this software i.e. Acrobat DC that has been launched today.
You can simply install it from the Creative Cloud desktop application and activate it with your same Adobe credentials.
Let me know how it goes.

Accidentally closed a doc Adobe Acrobat Pro HOW TO RECOVER

Working on Adobe Acrobat Pro accidentally closed a doc, HOW CAN I recover changes?? Help!!! 10 hours of work. "revert" is grayed out under File tab.

Thanks. My default is set to autosave but I realized later that the doc I was sent to edit had some feature that prevented the autosave from kicking in. Of course, who would notice that the small “revert” tab is grayed out? How can I override that in future? Save by different name?
I thought the doc might be in my recycle bin, but it was not. Would have been nice for Adobe to warn me as I was closing that the doc had tons of unsaved changes (like 10 hours worth!!!), and ask me to confirm I wanted to close. I had two docs open and the other one didn’t need to be saved—my cursor just happened to be active on the one I needed to save. Adobe, grrrr. Get out of the 1980s, when many word processing programs did not have autosave. The WP app designers understand--we need autosave. It should be automatic unless you explicitly reject it.
And then the Acrobat Pro help line is not open on weekends. I was hoping they would know where it was somewhere on my computer.

How to change default application in file context menu

I know you can change the application that opens a file in the file;s info window (command i) and then double clicking the file opens it in that application. However the context menu still shows the same original default application. How to change what is shown as default in context menu?

You can't. You can change the default app in Get Info which will change the first listed app in the context menu to that default app. How the context menu is built is not under user control.

Cannot copy acrobat pro 9 app folder to applications directory

have uninstalled acrobat pro 9 because of failure to recognize new scanner. Now cannot copy app folder from DVD into applications folder.

Hi Janice,
What version of Mac OS are you using?
Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
Problem:
You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
Solution:
BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
Applications : Canon Utilities
Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
Library : CFMSupport
and if it didn't, move it there yourself
THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

How to Remove Default Application

Can anyone tell me how to remove a default application that opens a certain file? I'd like OS X to prompt me to choose which application to use each time a certain new file is opened. It seems once you've set a default application it does not allow you to revert to the old setting. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be a way to set "none" as the default application. OS X works very hard to assign an app to every file it can, but sometimes, as Jim has discovered, it gets it wrong. This seems to be most often because apps tell the OS what they can open & some older ones don't do it quite right, causing OS X to guess about some file types & incorrectly assigning them to the app.
Fixing this would be tricky. Individual files don't tell the OS what app to use unless you change the opening app for that file alone. If you use "Change All" that info is removed from the file (if it was there) & instead recorded in a preference file. But generally, the defaults are stored in the Launch Services database, which the OS maintains automatically.
It is possible to get the OS to rebuild that database, but doing so just fixes any corruption by once again checking the apps, so the same wrong guesses come back to bug you.
A few of us have been discussing Launch Services, the .plist, & how it works in another topic (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=258306) but as yet, it offers no answers that would help here.
