Adobe vs. Preview

How do  I set adoe as my default instead of preview.

control click (or right click) on the file and select "Get Info".  You have the ability about half-way down the information window to change what the file type opens with (look for "Open with:").  Select the Adobe application from the selector and click on "Change All..." which is after the text "Use this application to open all documents like this one.".  This will do just what you want.

  • Adobe PDF Preview Handler Issue in WIndows 8 64 Bit Machine - After installing Adobe Pro 11.0.10

    Hi Guys ,
    We are facing a serious issue with Windows 8 and Adobe PDF Preview Handler . We are using the PDFPrevHndlr.dll from Adobe to show PDF Previews in our application. It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista and for some reason it is not working in Windows 8.1 64 bit machines after upgrading to Adobe Pro 10.0.10 .  Please help us figure out what is the root cause of this issue .
    During a close analysis we have found that the PrevHost.exe( Windows component ) is failing soon after it is being invoked . Any help in this is much appreciated.
    Regards
    Sree

  • After effects & Adobe Bridge preview Issue *freezing*

    Hello all,
    I wanted to begin learning After Effects CS4, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS4 is halting my education.
    If I explore any kind of After effects CS4 preset, and preview it inside of Adobe bridge, my pc freezes. The preview window, within Bridge CS4 turns blank white while it freezes,
    the Windows toolbar of Adobe bridge, says not responding temporarily, if a wait a little while around 30-45 seconds I regain control of my pc again, the preview box occasionally will show a still image and sometimes it will stay white or flicker. If I do wait the 30-45 seconds the toolbar window no longer says 'not responding' I can click to a (non) After effects preset folder, (for example) 'My family pictures' and it will operate normally but if I go back to the After effects CS4 presets again the freezing will occur once more.
    What I find strange is that Adobe Bridge previewing, works absolutely fine for my photoshop documents, Illustrator documents, and any Jpeg photos I have, all after effect presets fail to preview, regardless of type if it's a still shape background or animated sprite, the same freeze issue occurs
    I was wondering if anyone has helpful tips?
    so far I have downloaded all important driver updates for my graphics card, my card is a nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 256, I have also reinstalled bridge and AfterEffects, I have downloaded all the relevent players.
    I am a Windows vista user, also I have enough RAM I believe, just over 3 Giga
    I dont know how useful the info is on my Pc spec is, but I thought it could be worth mentioning.
    I have looked for a few hours to find some kind of thread with a similar problem I have been unsuccessful, I hope someone can help
    Kindest regards Julian

    Hi Curt y,
    I do have the latest Quicktime player installed, I would'nt have have thought that would halt me previewing CS4 after effect still shapes and backgrounds? but.. I'm not to sure if I'm honest.
    well I tried uninstalling and reinstalled my player still no sucess sadly.
    do you know roughly what date all these old threads popped up?
    I'm going to scavenge for them anyway in the the hope I find something useful. *must be positive*
    thank you Curt y, for giving me some of your time.
    regards Julian

    No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

  • Adobe Edge Preview installation error

    I installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 through Adobe Creative Cloud.  All of the applications seemed to install correctly, except Adobe Edge Preview, for which the following message was given.
    Installation completed though some optional components failed to install correctly.  More details.
    The details page showed the following error.
    ERROR: DW050:  - DirectX: Install failed
    Installation retry also failed and gave the same error.
    What is the solution to fixing this error?

    Thanks. The link you provided is to a PPT and WMA presentation about the DirectX 11 technology update. I downloaded http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35, instead, installed it, and then ran the installation retry in Adobe Application Manager. Installation worked. Success.
    To all, your prompt responses were much appreciated.  Please consider this problem resolved.

  • I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link.  Neither Safari nor Firefox will work.  If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview.  I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

    I'm going to re-state this.  Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE.  Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it.  The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem.  The problem lay within the Update.  Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website.  This happens on both Safari and Firefox.  If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview.  This is happening only on my iMac.  My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Install Adobe Edge preview 4

    I installed Adobe Edge Preview 3 in 2011. I deleted Preview 3 today in order to install Adobe Edge preview 4, which came out Jan 18, 2012. However, my installation encountered errors. The popup window says that "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Edge Preview exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media." I not only deleted AE Preview 3 in the Application folder, but also deleted Edge related items in the Preferences folder in the Library folder.
    What else should I remove from my Mac in order to install AE Preview 4? Thanks!

    Ah, the joys of Beta testing... Probably the install corrupted the caps.db. Happens all the time with prerelease versions. If this is a known issue, then there are instructions somewhere (on the Labs site, the knowledge base or on the Beta forum itself), if not it could mean you'll have to uninstall every bit of Adobe software, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool ort delete the caps.db manually and reinstall everything... Anyway, ask on the proper forum first.

  • Adobe Edge Preview

    I cannot install. I get :
    A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Edge Preview exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media.
    I did erase Adobe Edge Preview from the application folder on the mac (10.7.2) and I restarted the system few times.

    It is why it need to be reported. It would be nice if Adobe was acknowledging it so we would know if it is something to wait for or if it is something simple like the library thing.

  • Adobe Muse: "Preview page in browser" and "preview site in browser" functions have stopped working.

    Working one day then not the next. Firefox just spins. The preview button works, as does the publish function.
    2.7Ghz i7 Macbook Pro with Retina Display
    Muse 2014.0.1
    Something else to add: When Firefox finally timed out it displayed the full url. Copying and pasting that into Safari and everything works. So it seems in someway this is a Firefox issue or a Muse -Firefox connection issue.
    So the new question is: how can I change the browser Muse chooses to use when I select these two functions?

    HI,
    Adobe Muse will use OS default browser for preview the page/site in browser. So you can change the default browser and preview the site again.
    Also, try to troubleshoot Firefox, using their official documentation
    Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can | Firefox Help
    Do let me know if you have any question.
