Acrobat X Pro vs. Reader XI.  Getting Pro to open as default?

Anyone help me with this.  Reader XI has become my default and I prefer using Acrobat X Pro.  Is there a setting to change X Pro back to my default?  Thanks!

If you're using Windows 7, you can right click on a PDF file, then > Open with > Choose default program...   It should show both "Adobe Acrobat" and "Adobe Reader", click on "Adobe Acrobat".
For Windows XP, right click on a PDF file, then > Open With > Choose Program ...  Click the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", the select "Adobe Acrobat" from the program list and click "OK".

    Hi,
    Some questions:
    1. Can you open your account via OWA?
    2. Can you configure your account on other user's computer?
    Try disabling any 3rd-party firewall or AV programs, make sure no proxy applictions or settings.

    Hello, I purchased and installed Adobe Technical Communications Suite 5 for Windows, English and downloaded it to my Windows 7 Pro PC.  It appears that Acrobat XI Pro part of the suite was never installed on my machine and I currently have Standard, instead.  How do I go about getting the Pro setup?  I know Adobe has specified limitations about users/installs allowed per purchase so I want to download the PRO correctly without trouble.  Please advise.  Thanks.

  • Adobe Reader 10 gets focus when openning a document via SAPGUI

    Hi
       I have SAP GUI application where is displayed PDF file. When PDF is open it gets the screen focus and function keys are not active. I found this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/392940 but it's from 2007. Anybody know if there is something new about this issue?

    Thank you for the reply :-)
    Unfourtenetly we cannot just restore focus afterwards. Our command window sends messages asynchronsly to a mainframe system, to find the documents we want to display. The mainframe system posts the documents one after another to a message queue. Our application displays the documents when they arrive on the message queue. This can take up to 10 seconds, if we have to display many documents. Therefore we cannot switch focus forth and back for each document. Also we do not know when Adobe Reader have finished displaying a document, so we do not know how long time to wait, until setting back the focus.

  • Adobe Reader 8 gets focus when opening a document via DDE

    We have an application that incorporates Adobe Reader. The application consists of two windows. In one window the user can enter commands, which causes Adobe Reader to display a document in the other window.
    Until now, we have used DDE commands to call Adobe Reader 6. This worked fine for the user, as focus stayed in the command window, which meant that the user could issue a number of commands, without having to regain focus.
    We have just installed Adobe Reader 8 on our machines and now Adobe Reader steals the focus, every time a DDE command is sent.
    Is there a setting we can change to stop Adobe Reader from stealing focus or is there a work around that we can use to avoid the problem?
    Thank you in advance :-)
    Best Regards

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader Freeze

    Everytime I open Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader I am unabe to open the preferences menu.  Program freezes up.  Also when I hit print the program also freezes.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no success.

    Which version (and sub-version)? Why do you have both Reader and Acrobat installed? Before AAX this was not a recommended combination at all.
    You should be able to delete the Reader and repair Acrobat. If you do not have the most current version of Acrobat, you should do an update(s). If you uninstall and reinstall again, before the reinstall, deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and run a registry cleanup utility (the MS one if you can get it -- MS quit distributing it -- or CCleaner). Then reinstall. Typically the repair and the updates should take care of things unless you have gotten a corrupt plug-in included somehow.

  • HT1338 display is getting hard to open...

    I notice on my new macbook pro the display is getting harder to open every time.....any suggestions

    You are still within the standard 1 year warranty. Stop fooling with it and take it to an Apple Store, Genius Bar, and have it fixed. If you continue to use it as it is you may damage it to the point Apple will call it Abuse and not fix it under the warranty.
    So take it in As Soone As Possible.
    Good uck, Best Wishes and I hope this has helped.

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • Acrobat v6 Pro and Reader 9 are fighting

    My Contact
    nha khoa
    So one of my users is in a different state, so I can not get my hands on his laptop. But his issue is as follows.
    Using IE 7, whenever he opens a PDF it opens Acrobat v6 Pro, but gives an error saying it needs Acrobat v8 or 9. He has v9 Reader loaded, but IE will not use it. In FF we told it to open the PDF extension with Acrobat Reader 9, and this has solved the issue there.
    FYI, opening a PDF directly from his computer uses v9 reader.
    What have I done so far?
    1) Had him change the Windows Default Application to open PDF's with v9.0 Reader. - This did not work
    2) Had him change the default to v6 Pro then back to v9 Reader (maybe it just needed a reset) - still no good.
    3) he had installed 9 reader then 6 Pro, I had him uninstall and then reinstall v9 --- issue not resolved.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -MF

    The reason that your user gets odd behavior is because Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 use different files to open the PDF within the Internet Explorer web browser. Acrobat 6 uses an ActiveX control name "PDF.ocx". Reader 9 uses a DLL called "AcroPDF.dll". When you have both applications installed, which I believe is against Adobe's recommendations, there is a conflict and hence the error message.
    On the other hand, FireFox uses the old Netscape plug-in "nppdf32.dll" so there is no co-relation in the web browser preference setting for FireFox.

  • Why does Acrobat 9 Pro asks for Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader for best results

    I have linked a page in Acrobat 9 Pro to a video which has been converted to a PDF and is one of the pages in the portfolio. When I activate the link the cover sheet comes up
    For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in
    Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later.
    I can't then get to the video.
    however if I load the page directly it plays normally.
    any suggestions

    Acrobat Standard 9 is a PC program. This is the Mac forum. However, we'll still try to help :-)
    Please reconfirm your OS? If on the Mac OS, what version of Acrobat? Check to see if you have Preview set to be the default viewer of pdfs.
    If on the a PC, which OS? Which version of Acrobat Standard 9? Have you updated to the latest version of Acrobat Standard? Do you have any other pdf viewers on your computer?

  • Shared Review: Acrobat Pro 9; Reader 8 issues

    Hi,
    I've been experimenting with the Shared Review features on Acrobat 9 Pro, and we've run into some slightly odd behaivour.
    I created a PDF file, sent it for a shared review, and waited for the comments.
    All three reviewers started with Reader 8, received the link, and opened the file easily enough. They each received a warning telling them that they needed Reader 9 or higher to comment on the document, but the document then opened, displayed the commenting tools and the "Publish Comment/Check for new comments" buttons.
    Naturally enough, they all began commenting away anyway, assuming that it would probably be OK, and all published their comments to the server.
    I went online to check for new comments, and found none.
    We went round and upgraded to Reader 9, assuming that that was the issue. Once the upgrade had installed, they opened their previous PDF files (with quite a few comments on) and connected to the server.
    At this point, all their previous comments were deleted, rather than being transferred to the server! This is really quite worrying - surely if this behaviour will occur (all comments deleted on upgrade), then a user should not be allowed to comment at all before upgrading. Is there a workaround? Are the comments still found on the old copy of the document, and are merely just hidden?
    I'd certainly be worried that, were I to send out a document for review to a group of less technically-minded reviewers, we could easily end up with a situation where we'd lose days of work due to them assuming that they could get away with this old version, as all the buttons seemed to be there.
    Anyone else had this problem, or suggestions of ways to work around it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    It was on Acrobat.com, so we did know that the reviewers needed Acrobat 9.x - but they were lulled into a false sense of security that it might just work anyway, since the commenting tools and so on appeared.
    Basically the process went:
    Reviewer click on link, signs into Acrobat.com and downloads a copy of the file to their local drive.
    Reviewer opens the local copy of the file, and is warned that they need Reader 9.x, but decide to give it a go regardless.
    Reviewer makes comments on the pdf, hits "Publish Comments", and nothing much happens - I check on the file, and no comments have been transferred to the server.
    At this point we decide to upgrade to Reader 9, so the reviewer saves and closes the local version of the file, and downloads & installs Reader 9.3.
    We open up the local copy of the file (that previously had the comments on) and, when prompted, sign into Acrobat.com.
    We check through the document, looking at the comments - any comments that had been made by other reviewers that were already on the server file are present, but all of the comments that had been made on the local file were deleted, and there appeared to be no way of recovering them.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Form won't open in Acrobat X Pro, XI Pro or Reader XI

    I am creating a lengthy for which is  now 25 pages. I can work on the form in LiveCycle Designer ES3. However, we cannot open the form in Acrobat X Pro, XI Pro or Reader XI. Any thoughts on why this could be happening? Are there things I can look for in LiveCycle to fix this issue?
    Thanks,
    MDawn

    Thanks for your quick response. There is no error message displayed. The round circle spins and the pdf never opens. It also happens in the Preview PDF tab within LiveCycle. I resaved the form and deleted a number of pages and the smaller version works fine. Can an interactive form be too large? Could that be my problem?
    I was working on page 20 of 25 pages and I had to End the Program to get out of trying to Preview the form. I'm wondering if something was corrupted.
    Thanks,
    MDawn
