Can Acrobat DC be set to open with Tools palette closed by default?

I'd like to set Acrobat DC to open with the Tools palette closed. Is this possible? I checked the preferences but didn't see an option for this.

I'd also like to have the tools palette stay closed by default. Perhaps Adobe can add this in the next update. It's a minor annoyance to have to close it every time I use the app.
I've submitted a feature request.

  • ViewKind Parameter Ignored in ProjectItem.Open if ProjectItem is Set to Open With Default External Editor

    Hi all,
    In my VS2010 extension, I have just encountered a situation which I can find no workaround for. As always, I went to Carlos Quintero's MZ-Tools first to see if I could find an answer. In this excellent article of his (http://www.mztools.com/articles/2007/mz2007027.aspx),
    he discusses how to get "the ProjectItem in the desired view using ProjectItem.Open(viewKind), which returns an EnvDTE.Window object."
    This is the behavior I have experienced until I noticed that if a user selects "Open With..." and sets a default external program to open a given item with, I can no longer programmatically open the item in the text editor (this is required
    functionality for my extension, since I am not setting the Window to visible, anyway). The screenshot below illustrates my point, even though I am working with my own custom extensions.
    In this case, calling ProjectItem.Open with every available ViewKind value will cause Program.cs to open in Notepad rather than the text editor. The Window returned from the Open call is always null in this case.
    Is there any way I can force an item to open in the text editor, regardless what its default program/viewer is? Thanks for your help,
    -Mike

    I don't think that is a bug but a limitation of the automation model.
    As workaround, you can use the following method:
    IVsUIShellOpenDocument.OpenSpecificEditor
    If you want something somewhat more palatable you can use the following method:
    VsShellUtilities.OpenDocumentWithSpecificEditor
    Editor guids are stored in the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Editors, but since you are only interested in the text editor guid, you are lucky because there is already a constant defined Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory.
    There is also a constant defined for the logical view: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.LOGVIEWID.TextView_guid.
    So, even if text files are set to open with Notepad, this code should open them in the text editor:
             string fullPath;
             Guid editorGuid;
             Guid logicalViewGuid;
             IVsWindowFrame windowFrame;
             fullPath = projectItem.get_FileNames(0);
             editorGuid = Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory;
             logicalViewGuid = Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.LOGVIEWID.TextView_guid;
             windowFrame = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.VsShellUtilities.OpenDocumentWithSpecificEditor(this, fullPath, editorGuid, logicalViewGuid);
             if (windowFrame != null)
                windowFrame.Show();

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?

    I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
    Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

  • Can my iMac be set to type with French characters?

    Hello all! Can my iMac be set to type with French characters? If so, what is the path? And, is there a keyboard overlay to see where the French language characters are located on the keyboard? Thanks!

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks again for the thoughts... Unfortunately, the only characters that I can use keyboard shortcuts for French are the é, ç and the á (it's better than nothing).
    Outside of that, I have to switch keyboard layouts. I know of the accent grave ( `e ) that's nextdoor to the number one key... But it don't work... my translator thinks it's a typo... because it takes up a whole characters worth of space instead of sharing the space with the actual letter (vowel), like the other accents.
    So I need keyboard shortcuts for:
    ê Ê Ë ë è È
    Ô ô Ö ö
    à À Û û
    I use these letters just enough to make switching keyboards back and forth a little irksome. Since the two keyboards have pretty distinctively different layouts and then we have the position of the A and M keys and.. well... see where this could lead??? LOL
    Thanks...
    I appreciate your thoughts, as always...

    If you are using airplay then that should be fine once the content is playing. You can't use home-sharing in this manner however.

  • Hello, how can i modifie in the options, aplications, Adobe acrobat document, open with Adobe acrobat (in Firefox) instead of open with portable document format (default). Thanks

    I can'T open pdf links in another page, because in options, aplications i have in Adobe acrobat documents open with portable document format (default) and i must put open with Adobe Acrobat (in firefox) default.
    Where can i change the default?
    Tnaks

    All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
    Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

  • Can I import 2 sets of photos with the same file name numbers?

    I've inadvertantly not had my camera set to "continuous" for file names and now have 2 memory cards with 2 different sets of images with the same file names.
    Can I still import both into Lightroom 2 without problems?
    What are the consequences?
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Yes. Of course, two files with the same name cannot be in the same folder. And don't forget to uncheck Don't import suspected duplicates during import.
    Another thing is that's not a good idea for good asset management, because someday you'll make some mistake because of this ambiguity. Good DAM practices suggest renaming your files after or during import, so that each files has a unique name across your entire image archive.

  • How can I remove some of the "Open With" programs?

    Hey folks,
    Quick simple question - how can I remove all certain programs that I do want to associate with certain files?
    For example - all my images I want the default to always be the "Preview" and i want it to give me the option for "Fireworks" and "Photoshop" - but my case is that aall these programs are associated to my images files.. click the link to view a screenshot I did... I did a red circle to show you guys what im talkin about.

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for the reply, appreciate it mate. I tried what was suggested, went into my finder typed "terminal" and opened the terminal program. And i inserted this line
    sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -f -dump -domain local -domain system -domain user
    press "enter" and typed my password and pressed "enter" waited a few seconds it did something a whole list of stuff and I closed the terminal and restarted my MAC and I still see the same list of apps when i click file OPEN WITH....
    Im not sure why it's not doing what it's supposed to do, could I be doing (or missing something) wrong? - appreciate your help.
    Thanks mate,

  • Can't change all files to open with CS2 with CS3 installed

    I have InDesign CS2 and CS3 installed on my macbook (10.5). CS3 is buggy to the point where its unusable, but I need it installed because once in awhile I receive files saved in that format.
    I wanted to change, through any Get Info window, all Indesign files to Open With CS2 instead of CS3. Problem is, whenever I hit "apply to all files" the OS just instantly changes the program back to CS3.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Let me be a bit clearer.
    When I installed CS3, it switched the "Open With" program association of all my CS2 files to CS3. This means the icons for all my CS2 files changed to CS3 icons. And when I double click on my CS2 files, they open in CS3, even if I already have CS2 open. If I have CS2 open, the system just starts opening CS3.
    Worse yet, upon installing CS3, all of my CS2 files were CHANGED to CS3 files (looking under "kind" in the "info" windows.
    I had thought I could just change all INDD files to asssociate with CS2, but when I go to "Get Info" on a file (CS2 or 3, doesn't matter which), and change the "Open with" to CS2, and hit "Change All", the "Open With" Just changes right back to CS3. Augh.
    For now, I just use the "Open" dialogue in CS2 or drag and drop the files. Pain in the rear. So I thought I'd post here.
    And though I don't want this to be a discussion of whether CS3 is buggy or not, I'll just say that my system was plagued by the CS3/Leopard NavSvcs and Hide bugs, (only a problem in Mac OS 10.5), both of which have been recognized by Apple and Adobe, as well as thoroughly blogged about by Tim Cole and MacFixit, and countless others.
    My favorite is this from the InDesign 5.0.2 Readme file:
    This update does not address recently identified issues running Adobe InDesign CS3 on Mac OS
    X Leopard (v10.5.1). Known issues include the following:
    Users are unable to hide InDesign CS3 using the cmd+h keyboard shortcut.
    InDesign CS3 may unexpectedly quit when using the Place, Save, Save As or Export
    commands using either the OS or Adobe dialog boxes.
    Unfortunately, there are no workarounds for these known issues.
    Yes, that's right. I'm one of those lucky folks who's experiencing the known bug where InDesign CS3 crashes when you try to open or save a file. I'm not a troll, I just simply can't use it! Haha.

    aple Tv and PS3, can the 2 be set up togethe

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    They can both be used with your Tv. I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean by together, they can't be used at the same time, there can't be any interaction between them, but they can be installed side by side and each used as and when needed independently of each other.
    I see what you mean now.

  • Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

    Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to  overlay on another video in another program.  probably export as avi.     I know I can in after effects  but comfortable with premiere.   basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background  ppro cs6     windows
    [ email address removed by forum host ]

    Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
    DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
    The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
    However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
    Or...
    If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
    In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
    Or.....
    Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
    Or ...
    Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
    Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

  • Document windows open under Tool Palette

    I am running Photoshop 12.0.4 (CS5) on a MacBook Pro and OS 10.6.8.
    When I open photos in Photoshop, they always open directly underneath the Tools Palette which I have positioned at the upper left corner of my screen, just below the Options Bar. They seem to be in Cascade mode, so if I open more than three, then the images beyond the third seem to clear the Tools Palette, but I am always forced to move each of the first three images in order to view them fully and work on them.
    In previous versions, it seems like the program was always smart enough to place opened images adjacent to, and not obstrcuted by, the Tools Palette.
    I've tried to re-position the images and then quit Photoshop to see if it remembers the positioning, as well as many other alternatives, but can't seem to get any other positioning to stick.
    Obviously, this is not a huge tragedy, just a minor annoyance, but it never used to happen in earlier versions. How do I fix it? It seems like it should be a very basic setting, but I can't find it.
    Many thanks!

    Thanks, Peter. That is an interesting tip and it will move a single image out from underneath the Tools palette (while also enlarging it), but if I open several images at once, then I still need to click toward one of the back images - the first three are the ones that get partially covered by the Tools palette - hit Command-0 and then navigate to the other images sequentially and do the same.
    While I'm sure there are keyboard shortcuts to skip to the next image also, it just seems to make more sense for the program to align the images properly in the first place. I've never had a previous version of Photoshop behave this way before. It seems like it must be an easy and obvious fix, I just can't figure it out.
    Again, thank you for offering your help. I do appreciate it.

  • Acrobat PDF edited in Photoshop opens with different proportions in Acrobat

    I opened an Adobe Acrobat drawing PDF in Photoshop. I then cropped and rotated the image in Photoshop.
    When I reopened the image in Acrobat Professional, the proportions had changed. The image was stretched vertically.
    How can I get the image to reopen correctly in Acrobat Professional, after editing in Photoshop? I have a feeling it has to do with a setting in Photoshop.

    Thank you for replying as nobody else did.
    I've already switched back to A9.
    I shouldn't have to upgrade again - I should be able to use the software I just paid for.
    Sorry if that sounds rude but I can't be the only person who had that issue.
