Adobe plugin removed. Defaults set to Adobe Standard. I get Firefox demand to install plugin. How can I force Adobe to use Standard?

Adobe Reader won't open certain (large) Adobe files.
> I set all Firefox defaults to Adobe Standard. Firefox still uses Adobe Reader.
> Uninstalled Adobe Reader. Uninstalled Firefox Adobe plugin.
> When I try to open an Adobe File, Firefox now says to install Adobe Plugin.
... catch - 22.
What can I do to force Firefox to use Adobe Standard? (none of the moderator solutions appear to work)

RESOLUTION (seems not logical, but this worked):
Firefox would do nothing other than ask me to install the Firefox plugin for Adobe, which I accepted. This process leads to re-installing Adobe Reader. After installing Adobe Reader, all of the defaults that I previously had set to use Adobe Standard were re-set during the Adobe Reader installation to use Adobe Reader interally in Firefox.
After re-installing, I was able to load the document that previously I was unable to load (using Adobe Reader inside Firefox). I changed all of the Adobe defaults (under TOOLS/OPTIONS) to "always use Adobe Standard" instead of "Use Adobe Reader (default)". I was then able to open the document using Adobe Standard.
It appears that the following process solved the problem:
> uninstall Adobe Reader
> reinstall Adobe Reader (and the Firefox Adobe plugin)
> change the defaults from "Use Adobe Reader (default)" to "Adobe Standard [release number]"
Note: I have Firefox 21.0 installed, and Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3 installed prior to, and after, this issue.

  • Itunes and proxy settings. Itunes keeps the proxy setting from IE and I can't adapt it due to company policy. How can I force itunes to use firefox?

    itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
    So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
    So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settings

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • I tried to install my adobe creative suite 6 design standard but it wont let me install. How can i install it?

    My mother purchased Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard back in 2012. When she purchased it for me, i did not need it at the time. However I am now a second year architect major at Hampton University and i need the Adobe Suite to use for my representation class. So i decided to finally open the box this semester and install but it wouldn't let me install because i have a MacBook and the adobe suite is for windows. My mother paid $350 and i still have the proof of purchase. What can i do or you guys do to help me install my purchased product? I have the impression that my mother wasted her money. Please help

  • I tried to register the creative suite on behalf of others from work. Now Adobe has closed the case without issuing a serial number to register it with. How can I contact Adobe to change this?

    Is there an email for this type of support or do I have to try and re-register the product?

    Only possible with web chat. Here's a link, Web Chat is at the bottom of the page:

  • How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard

    How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard after installing it on Windows 7? Ive tried a few AcrobatUpd8**_all_incr.msp files but I get an error that the program to upgrade may be missing. I cannot afford to upgrade it to X* when this works for what I need it for which is simply to break up multi page documents created by Quickbooks.

    Certainly, the printer driver in Acrobat 8.0 cannot install in Windows 7 64 bit - it wasn't written too. Apparently, though, 8.1 is capable of installing the printer driver.
    Unfortunately, Adobe have taken down the page with release notes. But you may need to use the *efg* (English, French, German) versions. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-7.html
    After 8.1 there is a "universal" (all language) update.

  • How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old PC to my New PC?

    How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

    You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How can I change Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 into English version?

    It's strange for the second download shows Franch, how to change it to English version? Thanks.

    Thanks for response.  I purchase Photoshop Elements 10 from App store, the first install is ok-in English, but my computer reset for some problem, so I installed it again. But this time, it's not English version but the other that I cannot recognize. How can I do? I forgot to save the serial number, where can I check it?
    Thanks for help.

    The language is tied to the serial number.  Did you purchase the software directly from Adobe?

  • How can I make Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager use 3.3.0 version of PhoneBuild?

    How can I make Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager use 3.3.0 version of PhoneBuild rather than the 2.5.0 version?  I tried following the instructions to upgrade PhoneBuild to version 3.3.0 - seemed to work, but Captivate is still outputting using 2.5.

    I tried that recently but could not find a way out.
    However, I figured out that we can upload the HTML5 zip file directly to the PhoneGap and build the app. This not only makes it a 3.3.0 version by default, it will also allow you to change the default app name, description, and most importantly the icon of the app.
