Can I set Adobe to be my default printer

I am on OS Lion and am trying to make Adobe X my default printer as I can in windows, but with no luck. Any ideas?

j,
In the Finder, single-click on any text file, then type command-I (Get Info). You'll see an Open With... menu item. Select Pages from the list (if it's not in the list, navigate to it). Finally, click the Change All button. Use the same process for .doc files. Now, if you double-click on any of these files, it should open in Pages.

Set Adobe Reader 9 as Default pdf Opener

New laptop. I have Adobe Acrobat 5 and Adobe Reader 9 installed. Need the 5 because it has Acrobat Distiller.
PROBLEM: When I try to open pdfs from the web I get an error (The Adobe/Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view pdf files from the Web Browser. Version 8 or 9 is required.)
Working in Microsoft Windows environment.
How can I set version 9 as the default to open web files?
Thanks!

Found the fix in some of the previous posts that showed up on the right of my screen after I posted this question. Nice system!

Can't set Photoshop Elements 11 as default photo editor

When I right click on an image in Windows Explorer or Adobe Bridge, then click on "open with", in the list of image viewers and programs, Photoshop Elements is not listed. When I browse to the PE11 .exe file to select it, nothing happens. How can I set PE11 to be the default photo editing program?

Can I set the Ipad 2 to default to wifi?

Can I set the Ipad 2 to default to wifi?

It is set that way by default, if it finds a trusted WiFi site it will connect with it.
If it goes to sleep the WiFi connection will be cut. If 3G is on and a push notification or email is received it will be via 3G.

Why? It comes with an uninstaller.
Contact the developer for uninstall instructions.

How to setting Adobe Photoshop CS6 to default again?

Hello, I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and last night I encounter some issue (after I scan my computer using some anti virus software).
after running the scanning, my Photoshop work differently, like anytime I drag some pictures into it, it will keep notice me about scaling, every time I convert a layer to a smart object, then edit content it works really differently (usually I erase some part from the layer, and the parts that was deleted will be transparent because by default the background are transparent, but now when I try to erase some part of the picture, it will become white, as the background color are white). Then every time I put a new picture on a new layer, after put it in his position, I can't freely edit it size(resize) even if the layer wasn't locked.
Can anyone tell me what happening? and how I can make my Photoshop working like usually(already tried to erase the .psp data from adobe photoshop CS6 setting folder, but the new default that it create will be the same)?
Thanks

Try either System Restore or a reinstall.

How can I set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer choices?

I've given it half an hour. Can't seem to figure out how I can set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer options. I'm not sure if I need to download an Adobe file, and what folder I might need to place it in, and if I also need to add a specific driver.
I'm trying to create a PDF file that printers and outfits like www.lulu.com will accept. Printing an MS Word document via 'Adobe PDF printer' will allow me, I'm told, to produce a suitable PDF file.
Ideally I'm producing the original document in Pages - but I've been told by printers and lulu.com et. al. that no one out there likes PDF's produced by Pages ("not professional").
Any suggestions you might have would be most appreciated...

I downloaded the Lulu Adobe PDF joboptions file ... but it didn't come with any instructions on how to install or use it. I just have the file. I opened it with a double click and got Adobe Distiller - and I can 'see' what the settings are, but I'd love to understand how to install it so it becomes a selection when I export from Pages.
Forget the Lulu instruction about double click to install. Quit Acobat Distiller and Acrobat Pro. Move the Lulu joboptions file to the Adobe PDF Settings folder. The path to it is:
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/
or
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
You're in the right folder when you see other joboptions files already in the Settings folder.
Next, launch Pages and open your document.
From the File menu, select Page Setup. In that window, select Adobe PDF 7 for "Format for," choose your paper size, orientation and scale % and click OK.
From the File menu, select Print
In the Print window, be sure the Printer is Adobe PDF 7
Click on Layout for a pop down list and select PDF Options
To the right of "Adobe PDF Settings" click for a pop up list and select Lulu
Click Print

I always want google classic, but sometimes i get google beta or google security (or whatever, can't remember its name) when i don't want it. why does this happen and how can i set google classic as the default?

google is my default on the home page. But when i ask for google or simply open firefox, i sometimes get google beta or google security (or whatever its name is) instead of google classic. I just want google classic. How can i set it as my default. (I have a desk top computer, use firefox, and this never happens.)

Why Apple can't undo its mistake?
Whose mistake? The source of the problem:
I was required to enter my recovery key. Now, there begins that huge flaw. I've forgotten it (I know it was my responsibility to remember it).
If you had just taken the simple steps of storing your recovery key as Apple tells you to when you set it up, none of this would've happened.
As it clearly states in the FAQ on 2-step verification: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
After you turn it on, there will be no way for anyone to access and manage your account at My Apple ID other than by using your password, verification codes sent your trusted devices, or your Recovery Key. You must be responsible for:
Remembering your password.
Keeping your trusted devices physically secure.
Keeping your Recovery Key in a safe place.
If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you could be locked out of your Apple ID account permanently.
In addition, with two-step verification turned on, only you can reset your password, manage your trusted devices, or create a new recovery key.
Apple Support can help you with other aspects of your service, but they will not be able to update or recover these three things on your behalf.
If you aren't responsible enough to do that, you should not have turned the optional security feature on.
This is your fault, not Apple's.

Can I set 16:10 (1920x1200) as default slide size?

Does anyone know if I can set the slide size to 16:10 as default rather than having to go in change it from 16:9 to custom each time I open a new slide?

@Nick
Not sure if you have gotten much help or figured a work around but here is something you might find useful, if not now, later.
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24285/set-software-update-server
It is a great, simple, and small app which modifies the SUS plist in the user to your SUS address or can reset it back to the Apple default. Regarding the different names that are popping up, not quite sure what that is about but I would check your DNS Zones using Server Admin and make sure that all are set up with the correct schema.

Setting Adobe Reader 9 as default PDF reader for IE7

Hi,
I made the mistake of installing Foxit Reader on my new PC and am trying to stop Internet Explorer 7 from using it as the default pdf reader instead of Adobe Reader 9.
By re-installing Adobe Reader 9 the problem with Windows Explorer using it was solved but Internet Explorer still keeps trying to open PDF files using Foxit Reader.
When installing the Foxit Suite the installation was not 100% successfull on Windows Vista 64 bit with the Uninstall.exe file not being created and the program not being listed under add/remove programs.
Does anyone know how to set Adobe Reader 9 as the default PDF reader used by Internet Explorer 7.
Thanks for any advice.

Try repairing / reinstalling the latest version of Adobe 8 / 9 , if this doesn't solve your problem you need to edit the default adobe reader setting in the registry.
For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.
Make sure that the (Default) value is set for the path where Acrobat or Reader is installed.
The default path for Reader is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe".
The default path for Acrobat is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".

Can Firefox be set to use the system default printer?

I would really like it of Firefox would use the system default printer set in the control panel, similar to the way office programs do. Is there no setting in about:config to do this? Or an add-on perhaps?

I really, really wish Firefox would change this, but I did find one thing.
In about:config I set:
print.print_printer to null
print.save_print_settings to false
Now it seems to use the system default. And it doesn't remember any changes with in a session, or from one session to the next. It always uses the system default printer.
I realize different people have different preferences. But on my system the default printer changes automatically depending on what wireless network I'm on at the moment. I wanted Firefox to reflect that.

Can I make Save as PDF the default printer

I have an application that I only want to Print as "save as PDF." It doesn't seem like I can set this as a default printer for this application or the computer. Am I wrong or will I always need to use the drop down to save as a PDF?

you can't set "save as pdf" as a default printer. you can try CUPS-PDF which creates a virtual pdf printer and you can use that.

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.

Adobe not staying on default printer

I have my default printer in Windows set and when I got to a pdf file to print it keeps defaulting to a printer that is not set as my default printer. In addition, when I try to select the default printer it automatically goes back to the other device. Has anyone had this issue before??

Hi Yodalsy,
I will recommend you to follow the below steps :-
1 ) Uninstall Adobe Reader ,run the cleaning tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
2 ) Restart your computer.
3 ) Re-install Adobe Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions
Let me know if the issue persist.
