Adobe Reader Default settings

Hi people
I am having issues with opening up vector art work from a PDF file. I have a PDF catalog
with images that I am suppose to open up in PDF format, Click on the image and
automatic open up Illustrator. How do I default to open Illustrator in PDF software.
I did try changing the file "info" on the file an change the settings there but it won't allow
me to change it since I don't have permission. Any other ideas anyone has.
I have  brand new Mac Pro G5 with Snow LEP and trying to make things work and
my last computer I had Tiger still installed. Worked like a champ in tiger but not working
for me on Snow LEP.
Can anyone help

If Reader is asking for a password, it's because you are opening a secure document. If the OS is asking for a password, it's hard to say. You'll want to take that up with the Apple forums.
If the exact same PDF was opening before without asking for a password, it was more than likely because you were using Mac Preview to open the file. Adobe security isn't necesarily honored by non-Adobe applications.
Normally it works with Adobe Reader 3.0
Reader 3? Really? What kind of machine are you running that on? Certainly not the one you are using now. Reader 3 is ancient.

  • Adobe Reader Security Settings menu item missing

    On a user PC, under Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2), I am not finding the Security Setting Menu option. I searched for this, and I found out that it must be under "Edit/Protection".
    See snapshot below:
    Any idea ?
    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks for the reply, Nikhil,
    Also, I found another issue.
    After I managed to create the Signature using Windows Certificate Option, I tried to take a backup from the certificate store from Internet Options -> Content -> Certificate -> Export, then I am unable to export the Private Key. Only the public key option is available, and the other option "Yes, export the Private key" is dimmed or disabled.
    Is this also new feature of Adobe Reader XI?
    I am 100% sure that in other installations on another PC, after I create the Windows Certificate of the Digital Signature from Adobe Reader Security Settings, then I can take a backup of this certificate from Internet Options and I can select this option "Yes, export the Private key" during export of the certificate.
    Appreciate your feedback on this matter.

  • How to Modifying the Adobe Reader Default Save Location

    In Adobe Reader XI:  When I try to "Save As" a (.pdf) file [I was sent over the Internet] it automatically defaults to the Temporary Internet Files/Content.EI5/ (one of the many XYZABC folder).
    This means I have to press in many buttons and mouse moves to hunt for Libraries/Documents/My Document Files Location.
    I'd like to change that default folder to my own special folder (i.e.:  Libraries/Documents/My Documents.  How can I do this?
    As an alternate, is there an easy way to get to "My Documents" directory in one (1) click so I can pick the sub-directory I what to "Save As" the .pdf file?
    Thanks in advance to any answers I my get.

    Hi try76,
    Per your request: my OS is Windows 7 Pro,
    the computer is a Dell 457T (i7 x64 w/ 8 Gb memory),
    and The browser is Internet Explorer 11 (this may change to Foxfire).
    I hope I can do as you mentioned and "OS you can add a direct link to the Documents folder to the Places Bar on the left side of the Save dialog."
    Now I find the need for step-by-step instructions to do anything with computers - like a beginner.
    It seemed that Adobe Reader used to be able to "Save As" *.pdf files easier.
    As an aside:  I am an old guy, learned DOS and early Windows and was quite good at it and have forgotten much of it over the years.  Mostly because every time Microsoft has Upgraded their programs they take away parts I used and changed the menus so I can't find items I might want to use, as time went by I grew tired of re-learning how to use a program instead of being productive at work.  
    If your method of moving *.pdf files can be done with my OS and IE it will be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks in advance to any answers you give.

  • Make adobe reader default in IE8 only?

    I use two PDF programs for work, PDFXChange and Adobe Reader 9.3.  I want PDFXChange to be the default program on my computer, but when I'm using IE8, I want the default to be Adobe 9.3.  Is that possible?  As far as I can tell, the only way IE8 opens programs is by using the global system's defaults through the control panel.
    Grrr....

    This might be due to obsolete registry keys left. Also did you remove PDF Converter Professional from your COMPUTER.

  • Adobe reader Default zoom

    Is it possible to set the default zoom level with the Adobe reader, that will take effect every time you open up a document?
    Thanks, Pat

    Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this. Worked great!

  • Adobe Reader default resolution is 110 pixels/inch!?

    I have a PC with a 15" LCD, and Windows XP.
    Operating system's DPI setting is 96.
    I've Installed Adobe Reader and the default setting is 110 pixel/inch (Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display -> Resolution)
    This setting makes all images in the pdf I've created blurry.
    I don't understand why the default behaviour is to override the OS setting which makes images in pdf files look bad!?

    Thanks for the reply.
    What's the resolution setting in your installation of Adobe Reader?
    I'm actually converting .docx files to pdf.
    In Word the pics look great (!00% zoom), but in Adobe Reader they look bigger and blurred (100% zoom).
    Then I change the Adobe Reader's resolution to 'use system setting' and pics in reader start to look good too.
    I can't force everyone that views the pdf to change the Reader's resolution setting. Whan can I do?

  • How do I make Adobe Reader print settings document-specific?

    This question concerns Adobe Reader XI, v. 11.0.07 on Windows 7.  This is a new environment for me.
    If I open 2 pdf documents and change the print settings on one of them (say from Portrait to Landscape), the other document's print settings also change to Landscape.  This didn't happen with the previous Adobe Readers I have used.  How do I change the print settings for each document so that they don't affect the other documents?
    Uday Reddy

    Acrobat retains (most) print settings while the program is open, and many though a close.
    Scaling, Print as Image,  Print to File, Print color as black, Comments & Forms all are retained until changed.
    Printer Features (anything set through the Properties tab), all are retained until the program is closed.
    Not retained in any case is Page range & copies.

  • Adobe Reader XI Settings

    Hi
    Is there a way to remove the Export PDF, Create PDF etc toolbars on the right hand side when a new PDF documents opens etc?  I don't want those options showing.
    Thanks

    Yes, there is... sort of. You CAN'T remove them, they're part of the application interface, but you CAN close them by default. When you open a PDF and the right panel is open, click ANY of the headings to close the panel. Close Reader and the next time you open Reader, it will be closed.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader default pdf viewer?

    When I click on a pdf link, Firefox gives an error that it can't find PDF Converter Professional 7.0.
    I've ensured Options|Applications links "Adobe Acrobat Document" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Forefox)", I've deleted the PDF Converter Professional plug-in -- but makes no difference.

    This might be due to obsolete registry keys left. Also did you remove PDF Converter Professional from your COMPUTER.

  • Adobe Reader 8.x Help vs. Windows default browser

    Why following any Web link within Adobe Reader 8.1 Help
    invokes unconditionally start of Internet Explorer ?
    The fact what browser is set as default one is being ignored during this !!!
    Strange strategy of Adobe.

    The fact that URL links from within Adobe Reader always launch Internet Explorer instead of the default browser, say Firefox, seems be a common problem from within the Reader, not just within the Help (Google Adobe Reader default browser").
    Last year Adobe's own tech note declared it "a rare problem and there is no known solution":
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15579
    and the rpoblems continue in relation to Vista [HTML links don't open in default web browser on Windows Vista (Adobe AIR)]:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403122
    It also seems to have been a problem for long time going back to early versions of Mozilla Firefox 1.06. Various forums say that it's just a matter of using Start | Set Program Access and Defaults, and choosing "Use default browser" or forcing Firefox to be the default. I found that neither method worked.

    http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t219716-adobe-reader-6.html
    The solution I chose to make URL links in PDFs trigger my Firefox browser reliably was to dump Adobe Reader and install the faster and smaller Foxit Reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php). The only change you need to make inside Foxit is to tick the "Create links from URLs" tickbox under Edit | Preferences | General.

  • Is there a way to programmatically configure Firefox to use Adobe Reader within the Firefox Browser?

    We have customers who are having difficulty saving their PDF files upon opening them from our web page because most of the time, they have "Use Adobe Reader (default)" set under Tools->Options->Applications. This causes the PDF file to be loaded into a standalone version of Adobe Reader where the Save icon is disabled.
    We can suggest to our users that they change this to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", which will give them the desired behavior of loading the PDF in a Firefox window with the Acrobat plug-in's Save icon enabled.
    However, we'd like to pro-actively change this configuration for our users via javascript if at all possible, so they don't have to go through the trouble of contacting us with the issue.
    Is this possible?

    I think that the built-in PDF Viewer only gets triggered with a specific MIME type (application/pdf) send by the server.

  • Installing AcrobatPro after removing Adobe Reader Safari displayed pdf urls only as a black page anymore

    After installing Acrobat Pro it installs in Library/Internet Plugin-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin version 11.0.03. Allthough after selecting a PDF-link it leads to a displays it not in Acrobat Pro, it diplays it as a black page in Safari. When I have a look in Acrobat Pro into the preferences/internet/webbrowser-option/PDF to show inBrowser with: isnt checked! And there is still listed/Application/Adobe Reader.app instead of /Applikation/Adobe Acrobat Pro!!
    There is no way to select this Applikation. Having a look at Lbrary/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist listed:
    AdobePDFDriver file://localhost/Volumes/Sicherung%20laptop/Applications/Adobe/Adobe%20Acrobat% 209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/
    ReaderInstallPath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
    WebBrowserUsePath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
    Has anyone changed the ReaderInstallPath file or WebBrowserUsePath file to the path of Acrobat Pro  and as a result a good diplay of PDF-urls in Arcobat Pro or Safari??

  • Adobe Reader XI 'Save As' creating blank pdfs

    Hi All,
    I am using an application from which a report is generated as a PDF file using Component One - VSReport, VSPrinter and VSPDF.
    This report PDF is automatically created in a shared folder and it is displayed once it is created.
    I can do 'Save As' and create a local copy.
    1. Adobe Reader Settings were: Enable Protected Mode At Start Up > Disabled and Enhanced Protection (Protection Renforcee in French) selected.
         Saved local copies are coming as blank.
    2. I fixed this by changing from Disabled to All Files for Enable Protected Mode At Start Up.
         This created the correct copy. But if I try to open this copy using Internet Explorer, security error is coming:
          les paramètres de sécurité actuels ne vous permettent pas de télécharger ce fichier 
         I am using French machine and the english translation is: the current security settings do not allow you to download this file
         If I right click on the copy and take Properties, unblock button is present and if I unblock manually it is accessable from Internet Explorer.
         But I need this copy to be unlocked after Save As.
    3. If I uncheck the 'Enable protected mode at start up', copy created using 'Save As' is not blocked.
         But after Save As, below errors are thrown:
         French:
         donnees insuffisantes pour une image
         cette page contient une erreur. acrobat risque de ne pas afficher cette page correctement. contactez l'auteur du document PDF pour resoudre le probleme
         English Translation
         insufficient data for an image
         This page contains an error. Acrobat may not display this page correctly. contact the author of the PDF document to solve the problem
    Please help with Adobe Reader XI settings.
    It has been given like Insufficient data for an image is fixed in Adobe Reader XI, but not at all.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0 (AcroRd32) does not close

    Hi,
    I am using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>Execute method to print PDF form in foreground passing '/t' as parameter. Once executed the Adobe Reader opens and then the file opens and close and go to printer but the Adobe Reader remains open and does not close.
    Is there any way I can close the reader too along with the document?
    Thanks for the help.
    Regards,
    AShwini

    Whatever page orientation was provided during the PDF creation process will be the page orientation in the PDF.
    This is what is presented to a PDF "viewer" (such as Adobe Reader).
    Adobe Reader (or any PDF "viewer") cannot permanently change page orientation.
    Adobe Reader (& other applications) is separate from installed printer drivers so it is expected that the application isn't retaining what is configured in the printer drivers.
    (A change to a local or network printer's printer driver configuration does not "touch" the PDF viewer's configuration. - Cinnamon added to the mug of mulled applejack does not change the wine in the adjacent wine glass.)
    Adobe Reader defaults to whatever a given PDF page's page orientation happens to be.
    Using Acrobat one can permanently change a PDF's page orientation.
    Be well...

  • Adobe Reader XI - Save button not enabled in Firefox 19, 20, 21

    This problem only seems to occur in Firefox. IE9 and Chrome 20+ seem to behave properly. We have customers complaining that they are having a difficult time figuring out how to save PDF files from our scientific research web application. While, cntrl-shift-s and File->Save As are still available to them, they are confused that the "Save" icon that appears on the reader is greyed out.
    I had read the following blog post concerning the problem involving URLs with over 259 characters.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/page/3/
    While our URLs are long and they are cgi-based in format, they didn't quite make it to 259 characters.
    I took our code base and created a very short path-based URL, removing special characters, such as periods and hyphens from the file name, and making sure that the tail of the URL contained the name of the pdf file, and the save icon was still greyed out.
    Installing Adobe Reader 9.5, and 10.0.4 seemed to exhibit the same behavior in Firefox.
    Are there currently any known issues with how Adobe Reader behaves with Firefox?
    Are there any possible work-arounds?
    Thanks in advance.
