All Applications open in Adobe Reader

I'm operating on Windows 7, and when I install adobe reader, it tries to open everything in adobe, including IE, Mozilla, word, etc, which results in not being able to open these applications. All of the icons on the desktop have the appearance of a pdf file. I have seen on other help boards that other people have experienced this problem, but none of the suggestions have solved mine. The only way I have found to remedy is uninstalling adobe, which allows me to return to normal, but of course I can't view pdf files. Any suggestions?

See this topic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/595320
Sorry, no solution, except to use an alternate PDF reader.

All attachments try to open in adobe reader!

All messages in my hotmail attachments try to open in adobe reader, which of course a word document or excel document should open in its appropriate program. How do I fix this problem to have attachments open properly. When I removed adobe, the word/excel documents opened as appropriate. When i reinstalled, the same problem occured.

iBooks purchased via iTunes are normally protected with DRM and can only be viewed using the iBooks app on an iOS device. Such requirements are stated on every page where you can purchase an iBook, just below the button to buy.

Form is filled on iPad then emailed. If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

Form filled on ipad. When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank. Have been using this system for months with no problems.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

I have the interactive student mathematics CD for the Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0607) Extended from Haese & Harris Publications that requires Adobe Reader and includes a 'Self-help Tutor". I can open all the features using Adobe Reader except the Self-Tutor. I get a pop-up message saying that: I require an app to open "26Unitary Method.app". I can find no mention of this app online so can someone please help me?
Thank you.

Thank you for the prompt reply. The CD says that it needs Adobe Reader (and it does read the 'Text book'), but it is not opening the interactive elements. Great!
I am doing as you suggest and contacting Haese directly. Again, many thanks.

Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader. Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

Hi all,
I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0. The operating system is XP SP3.
As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

Form filled out with colors, but when opened in adobe reader they are black

I have filled out a form with custom colors used in the accesability settings, but when I save the document and open it adobe reader they filled in fonts are black.
Is there a way to maintain the accesability colours when printing and opening in adobe reader ?

Accessibility settings are a personal preference. They are set by each
user (or, if you have Reader and Acrobat, in each one). Above all,
they are very much NOT saved in a document, because each user needs to
be able to set their own.

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

Create accessible PDFs that only open in Adobe Reader

Is there a way to create/tag/mark PDFs so that they are forced to use Adobe Reader to open? Sounds like a stupid question I know but we have a large number of accessible fillable PDF files that are now being opened by the integrated PDF readers in some new web browsers and as a result, we are experiencing issues with their functionality (fields can't be filled in, submit button not working). All works fine however if we force to open in Adobe reader. Unfortunately, these forms are used by the public and we have no way to force a PC configuration setting on them to do this as we could if these were only internal to our company. Therefore, we were wondering if there was a way to create the PDF file in such a way that only Reader will open them?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi zee,
When you say the forms are accessible, do you mean fully compliant with WCAG 2.0 guidelines and/or the Matterhorn Protocol compliance criteria for PDF/UA? If you are not sure, that would be my first suggestion. Truly accessible documents *should* work in any of the major browsers. The new PDF/UA Reference Suite includes an example accessible form - Document 10. It is in Danish but the tagging and other accessibility concepts are the same in any language.
Hope this helps,
a 'C' student

.pkf files opening in Adobe Reader

I sincerely hope someone can help me rectify an awkward problem. Yesterday, for some crazy reason, I clicked on a .pkf file and opened it with Adobe Reader. To make matters worse, that infamous little box was checked, and now ALL my .pkf files are opening in Adobe Reader. I've tried reverting to a previous restore point on my PC, but for some reason it's not allowing me to do so. Is there a hidden file somewhere in Adobe Audition where I can find the system's .pkf folder? I'm sure it's there but I can't lay my finger on it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I'm using version CS5.5.

You should find your .pkf files in the same place/folder as your .wav audio files. Once you have found one right click on it and from the drop down menu select "Open With". If Audition doesn't show in the list then click on "Choose Default Program". Then you should be able select Audition, making sure the "Always use selected program" box is ticked, and click OK to set Audition as the default.

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected? I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A.   Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO. Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

How to get the PDF documents that are currently opened in Adobe Reader?

When a PDf file is opened in adobe reader, how can we know the details of the file which is currently opened.
If I want a copy the PDF document to get saved on desktop automatically without asking to user, How can I do this in c#?
If there are many PDF files opened, then also, I have to get all the details of PDF documents which are opened.
Thank You...
