CAn't open pdf's in adobe is opening in explorer

Hi,
For some reason my computer is opening my pdf files in explorer and not in adobe reader even though they are still pdf files.
In fact all my saved pdf files no longer have the adobe reader icon attached but have the explorer icon.
This has only happened from today.
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You have changed the file association with pdf to Internet Explorer rather than Reader. You need to change it back. The easiest way to do this is to re-install Reader if you do not know how to manually change the file association.

  • Can't open internet explorer

    When I updated to Firefox 3.6.3. I can't open Internet Explorer anymore. Clicking on the icon just dies, and going through the Search function also fails. If I do a system restore back to before the update, it will open, but Firefox will NOT.

  • How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

    How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
    I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

    Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
    The web site that I'm trying to access
    There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
    Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Enable the Develop menu.
    Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7

  • Can't see pdf after uninstalling adobe reader

    After uninstalling pdf reader from adobe, I lost possiblitiy to opend pdf documents in safari. Usually, before installing adobe reader pdf documents opened nicely in Safari, with link to download or print a document. Now, all what opens is a gray page, without any content in it. When trying printing, I get blank page. Has anyone encountered this problem? How can I switch to old Safari behavior - native pdf reading ability, present in OSX?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Can't create PDF files with adobe acrobat professional 8 on windows 7

    I running acrobat Professional 8 on Windows 7 64bit. I can only create PDF files while logged on as administrator. I tried adding the user to the Administrators group, but still have the same problem. The system hangs right after adobe promts me for the file name, I provide the file name click save and it hangs when displaying the "printing message'
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Acrobat Pro 8 is not compatible with Win 7---especially for creating pdfs.

  • Can't open folders/explorer after sleep or hibernation

    I recently started to have this problem where when the laptop is woken up after either a sleep/hibernation, I can't open any folders.  I can't open the computer icon, any folders on my desktop and the Windows File Explorer.  I can, however,  open the files (Excel, IE, Firefox) on the desktop even when this problem comes up.
    It doesn't happen every time the laptop is woken up from either state but happens at least every other day.
    In order resolve the issue, I have to restart the computer or log out and re-login.  
    I thought I had some corrupt files so I re-imaged the HD to its original state, but the problem came back. 
    Any thoughts or suggestions???
    I have X230 with Windows 7 64bit
    Thanks.

    This worked for me: I trashed my mouse prefs, then restarted, then -- goto System Prefs --> Keyboard/Mouse --> Mouse --> Double-Click Speed: Now move the speed a minimum of one notch below FAST.
    Yesterday I installed a Logitech MX Revolution, cordless mouse and lost the ability to double click with it and with my Mighty Mouse. Resetting the double click speed below FAST miraculously reset.
    All seems OK now.

As a work around I have to save file to desktop and place as an attachment in newly composed e-mail. What needs to be done here to resolve? Thanks

    Hi jkmay01,
    In your Acrobat Preferences under Email Accounts, click Add Account>Other
    In the Add Webmail Account window, input your email account details
    Under Advanced Settings, configure your incoming and outgoing ports and security settings per your email account
    Click OK, and then click Add. In the window, click the email account you just added and click "Make Default"
    When it's set as the default mail account you'll see a check mark
    Let me know if this helps.
    Regards,

  • I can't view PDF files in Adobe Arcobat/Reader in Firefox v5, but I can view them in Internet Explorer?

    I have the current versions of Adobe Acrobat/Reader and Firefox

    you need to install the reader into Firefox
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Do not accept anything but the reader, any thing else offered would be crapware and difficult to uninstall.

  • I had apower surge and blew out my modem. Bought a new modem / router, and now I can not download PDF files. If I use internet explorer I can download them. Not with Firefox, I'm using Firefox 5.0

    Everything else works fine. I've tried with 3 different modems. I was told it wasn't the modem. Something else is preventing The PDF file from loading.I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled,checked all the settings. I can't find anything wrong. I figure it must be missing a plugin or something'''bold text'''

  • Can't Open File Explorer -- How can I reset the Quick Access Toolbar from outside of File Explorer?

    First of all, this is not a virus. This is my a bug within windows explorer itself.
    So, I added the properties button to the QAT, and it displayed it as an expandable menu, like this: ";" but with small arrows like this: ">". didn't want this, I wanted to click on it and immediately display the properties of the file
    to me. So, I hovered over it, right-clicked on "Properties" in this menu and added it to the QAT. Of course, this crashes File Explorer. Now whenever I try and open it, it crashes, so I have to assume that the corrupted button has been saved.
    So, my question is: How do I reset the QAT from OUTSIDE of file explorer? Regedit magic? Any ideas?
    Thanks for stopping by,
    Trolleyman.
    Edit: Just so you know, I can navigate through my systems files using the 7-zip file manager. Phew.

    Thanks from me  too, Niki. This first happened with Windows 8.0 File Manager a week ago,, and despite much research I couldn't  discover the cause so eventually I resorted to restoring  the system drive from backup (luckily I make daily backups, 
    so didn't lose   much  work).
    Without  knowing the cause  a  few days later I again tried to alter  the Quick Access  Toolbar  and the problem reappeared.  Should  I again resort to restoring the entire system drive, the thought horrified me. But
    luckily while doing a bit more research prior to resorting to the same drastic recovery, I cane  across this post  of yours and it worked!
    It doesn't  seem  to be  happening with Office 2007's   or  Wordpad's  Quick Access Toolbar,  so presumably it's a File Explorer bug  (a.k.a. Windows Explorer in Windows 7, of course). Have Microsoft recorded this as
    a  bug -- if not,  why not  -- and when  are they coming up with a fix?

  • How can I open Internet Explorer from Forms?

    I could manage to open IE with HOST giving it the correct path from IE in my computer.
    But how can I find out what directory IE is? Should I use OLE2? If yes, then how do I use it?
    Thanks,
    Ariadne

    I thinck that the path doesn't matter...
    Using Host('start http://www.oracle.com') will work no matter where IE is located

    (because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
    Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
    If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.
