    Why does Adobe Reader change my icons to pdf?

    For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

  • Adobe Reader changes Windows default printer?

    Hello.
    Currently our customers are complaning about the anomaly, that the default printer is sometimes changed after printing *.pdf's with Adobe Reader. I have never heard of a problem like this before and am even not able, to confirm this behaviour.
    That is why I want to ask you, if you have ever heared of something similar like this. Under which circumstances does Adobe Reader print on another non-default printer automatically? Btw. I don't know how to handle this problem so far.
    Yours,
    Moeki.

    Interesting! What was the color scheme prior to launch? Does this problem happen on every launch of Reader X? What if you restore the color scheme and re-launch Reader? If possible can you stick a screenshot of the issue you just described.

  • Push out Adober Reader changes to Macs

    I have a network with both Windows and Mac clients that use Adobe Reader.  I already know how to use Active Directory Group Policy to push the necessary registry changes so that my Windows based clients can have their Adobe Reader settings updated.
    However, for my Mac users where the settings exist in .plist files, I have been searching for a way to centrally update these same settings (I'm interested in pushing out security related settings when Adobe releases security advisories saying that the mitigation is to ensure that certain settings are in place until a full blown patch is released).
    Does anyone know how to push out .plist settings changes from a central point similar to what AD Group Policy allows with registry changes?
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    I ran into this issue some time ago as well and wrote just such a script!
    Here's an exerpt from my documentation:
    Lastly we need to add the Printer via the command line. Here's how:
    First thing we need to do is copy the PPD file to the correct location. By default it's in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/
    The PPD in question can be found specifically by typing lpinfo -m This lists all of the printer drivers available to cups.
    You must copy the gz file using sudo. It needs to be copied to /usr/share/cups/model/
    The copy command looks like this:
    sudo cp /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP\ LaserJet\ P3010\ Series.gz /usr/share/cups/model/
    Once there, you run the script to install it.
    I've left the scripts in the Public/Techy Stuff for each printer we use in the highschool.
    So, the command looks like this. It's a bit of a trick cause figuring out the details as to how it's supposed to work just by looking in the man pages usually *****.
    I'll explain...  The command is as follows:
    lpadmin -p LabLaser -E -v socket://192.168.1.11 -m HP\ LaserJet\ 1320\ Series.gz -o printer-is-shared=false
    lpadmin -p LabLaser adds the printer and calls it "LabLaser"
    -E forces encryption while connecting to the server. It's probably not necessary but it's in all the examples on the web that I could find.
    -v gives you the opportunity to specify the location of the printer. In ***** case they're all network printers with valid IP addresses and MDNS addresses, so yeah. socket:// for standard IP printing protocol (IPP) mdns:// for bonjour.
    Get the mdns name from lpinfo -m
    ...the -m specifies the name of the PPD. See above. (this is the driver that I copied to /usr/share/cups/model/)
    -o is pretty self explanitory...  However I feels it's extremely important.  This will prevent the printer from showing up in the bonjour list of printers on the network even if the user has printer sharing turned on.
    Hope this helps!
    -Graham

  • Adobe Reader changes system color depth settings to 256 colors

    I am writing here for a friend who has a Windows 7 system and Adobe Reader in version 9.4
    Each time he opens Adobe Reader the system settings for color depth are changed to 256 colors, which makes  PDF documents barely readable. It is possible to change the color depth back to normal in the system settings, but each restart of Adobe Reader switches the system again to 256 colors.
    Does anyone here have a clue how to stop this behaviour of Adobe Reader?
    My friend has tried to remove Adobe Reader and reinstall it, but the problem remains.
    Since I am a Mac user my Windows abilities are very limited and I am very grateful for any help.
    Thanks a lot,
    macvet

    Could be a hardware malfunction. Maybe you should take that MacBook to an Apple store and have it checked out.

  • Problems with all versions of Adobe Reader Changing shortcuts upon install.

    I am using windows 7 and attempting to install Adobe Reader 9.3.4.  When I do this all of my shortcut icons change to Adobe Reader icons.  Also, the destination links in the shortcuts have NOT changed but when I click on something such as the calculator it will try to open Adobe Reader.  The shortcuts return to normal when Adobe Reader is uninstalled.  I have installed several older versions of Adobe Reader and the same thing happens.  has anyone heard of this happening and if so do you happen to know of a solution?

    There was some discussion here around this issue.Please refer to the following post:

    Some Samsung devices(running Android Lollipop) have issues in accessing the local file listing. Could you please download a third party file manager such as ES Explorer or And Explorer from the Play Store and try the steps? If you do not want to download a file manager, you can go to 'Settings'--> 'Application Manager' --> 'All Applications' -->'Dropbox' -->'Turn Off'. After following these steps, you will see only the local file listing on your device on clicking on the floating action button (red dot).

  • When I download a .pdf file using mozilla, I cannot open that file despite having adobe reader on my desktop. I cannot save the file to open at a later time

    I wished to view a .pdf file of a vehicle brochure. Mozilla found the brochure ok, but would not let me view it or save it. I ended up having to use IE to download and then view the file. How do I enable Mozilla to allow me to view .pdf files< I have Adobe Reader 9 installed on my PC (using Dell and Window 7)

  • Adobe Reader changes graphic properties when opened

    Everytime I open up a pdf, the graphics go from Highest quality to 8 bit.  Only happens with pdf's opened in Acrobat Reader X. 
    No other issues to report on the system.
    System is running WinXP Pro
    Intel Graphics G965
    Adobe Reader X
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Is this happening only with a specific PDF or with all the PDFs? Also, does launching the application alone also produce the same behavior?
    Also, please let me know the exact version of Adobe Reader installed on your system. You can find the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader.

  • Where do I get Adobe Reader Desktop version for Windows 8?

    Since I went to Windows 8, every time I look at a PDF file it seems to use the Adobe Reader Touch app. That may be fine for a tablet, but I need and want the desktop functionality of the old Adobe reader on my notebook machine. What version of Adobe Reader do I need to download to get that and still have it run with no problems under the desktop on Windows 8?

    Download Adobe Reader XI for desktop. Works perfectly.

    Hi,
    It could be a case of a corrupt installation which could be causing the crash.
    Could you please follow, ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ suggestion, and uninstall the current installation of Adobe Reader 10.1.2 and restart if prompted for.
    Try and install Reader 10.1.0 again (from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/zh_CN/AdbeRdr1010_zh_CN.msi).
    Now update the same to 10.1.2 using the installer from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/misc/AdbeRdr1012.msp
    Try and launch Adobe Reader post the successful installation.
    Do ensure not to launch the application during the updating process.
    Hopefully this should fix things.
    Thanks
