Acrobat Pro as Default PDF Reader

How can I make Acrobat Pro my default PDF reader, I am using a Mac and whenever I open a pdf it opens it in the Mac OS's 'Preview' software instead of Acrobat Pro

Select any PDF, Ctrl + click on "Mac", and select Adobe Reader under "Open With" option. Once the PDF opens with Reader, you will see an option to set it as default application to open PDF.

Acrobat Pro 9 & iPad pdf reader issues

When I create/edit a pdf in Acrobat 5 and then send to my iPad, the pdf will be complete and correct. When I create/edit the same pdf in Acrobat 9 Pro and send it to my iPad the pdf will be missing any data that I edited and the other text will be garbled. This occurs when using both iBooks and Pdf Pro Reader by iTech Development to view the pdf file. Is this an issue with Acrobat or with the pdf readers? What is done differently in Acrobat 9 that might cause these readers to have issues?

So, it is definitely an embedded fonts issue. But I'm still rather
confused with solving the issue. When I use Acrobat 5 on this pdf, it
embeds a substitute font of Times New Roman for the Times Roman font, but when I use Acrobat 9 it is using some substitute font that is getting garbled in the iPad. I am still playing and testing, but any additional ideas would be greatful.
I also talked to the developer of the PDF Pro Reader and they opened an issue with Apple regarding the fonts being garbled and also let me know that if I open the pdf on a Mac and save it it will look fine on the iPad. This did work, but is not something I can use as a solution, since we do not have a Mac and are not looking to purchase one just to solve this issue.

How do I do to register Adobe acrobat as the default pdf-reader in Firefox

I musthave that when I need do download documents

When you download a PDF, Firefox should hand the question of how to open it off to the Android OS. If you are having a problem using Adobe when you access the download (either from Firefox's Downloads list, or the system Downloads folder, or the notifications on the top bar), you may need to clear the defaults from the application that is opening the PDF. This should give you back your choice the next time.

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

Hi Harry
You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

Windows 8.1 is forgetting Acrobat as my default PDF viewer after startup

I installed Arcobat XI Pro on Windows 8.1. I set Acrobat as my default PDF viewer during the installation. After the installation, none program was set as the default PDF viewer. When I tried to open a PDF file, Windows asked which program I want to use as my default PDF viewer. I Choose Acrobat.
Each time I start up my computer, Windows has forgotten my default PDF viewer. I did some research to find out if it was a problem with Windows or with Acrobat. I turns out to be a problem with Acrobat, becuase if I set Adobe Reader as my default PDF viewer, Windows does remember my default PDF viewer after startup.
Is there anybody with the same problem and do you have a solution?

Hi Anand,
Thanks for your responds.
This way is not working either. Both Reader and Acrobat are version 11.0.9.
Do you have any other solution? Beside, do you have any idea what is causing the problem?

Matthijs

How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents?

I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

Making Adobe as the default PDf reader

How can I make Adobe as a default pdf reader for windows phone 8?
Where does the Adobe reader store local files in wp8? Can I know its path in windows phone 8?

Maybe starting Acrobat 9 (NOT Distiller 9: this is an extra component
of Acrobat, and not involved in opening PDFs) will help. But overall,
mixing releases and Acrobat/Reader on the same computer isn't
recommended for this sort of reason.

Default PDF reader

Hello
I have an N97 Mini, bought SIM free. I use it as a mobile office.
Two problems:
I have installed a freeware PDF reader,and the trial version of Adobe Acrobat (now expired) came with the phone (I think - it may have installed when I bought a license for Quickoffice). I have set the freeware PDF reader as the default (Settings>Phone>Application Settings>Default apps.>Options>Advanced Options>) but it resets back to the trial Adobe app. I want the Freeware PDF reader to stick as the default reader.
Also, I'd like to remove the Adobe Acrobat trial, but I can't find a way todo this.
Suggestions, please!
Thanks.

You can't remove any of the 'trial' stuff it's embedded
As for default pdf reader, the only workarround I know is to save a pdf file, then open the pdf reader and select file from there !
Good Luck

Setting Adobe Reader 9 as default PDF reader for IE7

Hi,
I made the mistake of installing Foxit Reader on my new PC and am trying to stop Internet Explorer 7 from using it as the default pdf reader instead of Adobe Reader 9.
By re-installing Adobe Reader 9 the problem with Windows Explorer using it was solved but Internet Explorer still keeps trying to open PDF files using Foxit Reader.
When installing the Foxit Suite the installation was not 100% successfull on Windows Vista 64 bit with the Uninstall.exe file not being created and the program not being listed under add/remove programs.
Does anyone know how to set Adobe Reader 9 as the default PDF reader used by Internet Explorer 7.
Thanks for any advice.

Try repairing / reinstalling the latest version of Adobe 8 / 9 , if this doesn't solve your problem you need to edit the default adobe reader setting in the registry.
For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.
Make sure that the (Default) value is set for the path where Acrobat or Reader is installed.
The default path for Reader is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe".
The default path for Acrobat is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".

Can't set Skim as default pdf reader

I recently updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I needed to download a pdf from a government site but when using my default pdf reader, Skim, I got an error message saying I needed to use Adobe, so I switched my default to Adobe Reader. When I was finished I tried to switch my default back to Skim by going into get info on a pdf file and setting it to Skim, then open all with this app. When I clicked out of the application field after choosing Skim the field kept popping back to Adobe. I was able to change the default to Preview without a problem, but I can't get Skim to stick. I can still open files with Skim by choosing "open with", but they revert back to Adobe or Preview icons when I close them. Skim does not become their default. Any suggestions on why this is happening and if it can be fixed?

Link,
I can't even get that far. When I have the "info" screen open and click on Skim in the drop down list, the entry reverts back to the previous default (Preview or Adobe). I can choose a bunch of inappropriate apps, like Safari or Kindle, and those will stay in the open with box, but Skim disappears. Weird.

Making Preview (3.0.9) my default .pdf reader

Somewhere along the way Adobe Reader (now 8.1.2) seems to have taken over as my default .pdf reader. I can't find any way to change this so far. Since Preview is much faster I would like to have it be my default reader again. can I do this?
Thanks,
-Joe

Select any PDF file then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select Preview from the drop down menu then click on the Change All button.

How do I specify Adobe Reader X as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.0

I have been using Nuance PDF Reader 6 as the PDF plug-in in FireFox, bus since installing FireFox 4, I have experienced issues with the Nuance reader. For example, when displaying a PDF file, the elevator does not work. If I can capture the URL of the PDF, I can open IE8, which defaults to Adobe Reader X as its PDF reader, but I cannot always capture the URL. I would like to switch to the Adobe Reader as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.

Well, you'd be wrong. Help->About tells me I am using FireFox 4.0. I do not see where I can get the name/version/serial of the PDF reader when I open it in Firefox. At least that's the case with the Nuance reader. Not sure about Adobe Reader X. Oh, and the Nuance reader can be VERY finicky about where you click on the elevator--particularly if the document has a lot of pages, which makes the elevator really tiny. I think some programmer didn't do his homework on how to apply the elevator code.
