Change Default Preferences - Measurment Tool - Acrobat Pro

When the measurement tool in Acrobat Pro a default setting somehow was made so that when you measure an area the same default polygon appears.
Does anyone know how to fix this so that the polygon that you measure is the one that shows up? Possibly by deleting the some preference file> If so where is this preference file?
Thank you very much

SOLVED!
To get rid of your "Use these settings as default": Simply delete the equivalent keys under "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1778856060-1634827353-635260049-13282\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\7.0\Annots\cAnnots"
That worked for me.

  • How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

    Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

    Hi Harry
    You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
    After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

  • Select tool/Hand tool - Changing default preferences

    I am using Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and everytime I open a document, the mouse cursor is always "select tool". Even if I change it to "hand tool", the next time I would open the same or even anyother document it would again be "select tool". I need it to remain as "hand tool" everytime should I open the document.
    I tried searching for a sort of default preference but couldnt find any. Tried searching for any old thread but there is one which is for version 8 and doesnt help at all. I cannt find the preference directory in version 9.
    Thanks very much.

    Hello!
    Try going at Edit - Preferences - General and there select the option "Make Hand Tool select Images and Text".
    If that doesn't help check this

  • Websites changing my file associating from Acrobat Pro to Reader

    Once before everytime I clicked on a pdf, it would open with Reader. Even when I told it to open WITH Acrobat pro. The IT man came and changed my windows file association via the Control Settings, I restarted and the problem was resolved.
    BUT now when I go to a website and use the snapshot tool to capture a map, when I try to open Acrobat Pro, it opens in Reader! I re-associated my settings in the control box but it reverts to Reader. What to do. I want to make a pdf of the image on the website.
    Acro 7 Pro, XP

    Go to the task listing and disable AcroRd32. Then also disable the loading of that plugin in the START menu. You are finding why Adobe does not recommend using both Acrobat and Reader on the same machine.

  • I am unable to change the preferences on my Premiere Pro CC 2014 program...Please help!

    Hello, I use Premiere Pro CC 2014 on my Mac Computer. I am unable to change the settings in the preference of Premiere Pro. When I change a setting and click "OK" Premiere doesn't respond. I can click cancel and the window closes, but when I click ok the window does not close. Since Premiere doesn't respond when I click ok, any setting that I have changed remains the same. I tried reinstalling the program, but after the installation I still have the same issues. Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    What preferences exactly? Are you trying to change them under Premiere > Preferences? What OS are you on? Can you please attach a screenshot?
    Thanks,

  • Change the install path for Acrobat Pro X

    Hi everybody! I just downloaded the AcroX trial to see what's beef with the new release, but I ran into a very annoying problem:
    I'm quite nitpicking about my Applications folder, and I installed all of my other Adobe software into an "Adobe" subfolder.
    I just noticed that during the installation is not possible to easily change the installation path like you can do in other Adobe setups...
    I found this in the KB
    (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Mac_OS)
    "You cannot install Acrobat to a custom location." and other stuff...
    The question is: do you have any idea of the priority of this bug? Will this be fixed anytime soon?
    Thanks, Agia

    Hi,
    Just followed the link you gave. In the try option for Acrobat X Pro the dropdown only has options for Windows installers and not MAC Installers.
    Secondly to answer your issue for customize installation to a path on OS 10.6, follow the following steps:
    1) Mount the dmg on MAC
    2) Launch the installer package
    3) Click OK on popup that you need to close running instances of Acrobat
    4) Click next to go to Read Me.
    5) Click next to move to Installation Type screen where we have buttons "Install", "GoBack" and "Customize". Click on Customize
    6) In this screen you will see 3 checkboxes "Application", "Browser Plug-In" and "Print Workflow" with columns as Package Name, Location, Action and Size
    7) Corresponding to Application Checkbox there is Location specified (With a small folder icon) - Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Click on this to select your location (2nd column)
    This is similar to what traditional Apple products installers do like XCode installer. There is nothing new in this.
    Thanks,
    Karan

  • Changing Defaults/Preferences in CS5 NOT found in the Preferences Pull-Down

    Does anyone know how to change the Photoshop CS5 defaults for opening files?
    When I open a PDF, the default setting in the import box is CMYK, 300 dpi.  When I open an Illustrator eps, it defaults to CMYK, 72 dpi.
    I need to do a lot of batch/droplet work and since those keep doing really wonky things - or don't run at all - I need to be able to drag open bunches of files at a time and run actions manually.  For the moment.
    It would be great if there was a way I could change the settings so that each Illustrator file defaulted to open at 300 dpi/RGB.
    Does anyone have any thoughts?  or does anyone know if it's possible to manually edit the system pref files (ah, the good old days) for CS5?
    Thanks very much, I appreciate the help.
    Shannon

    Thank you for your help!  I tried your suggestion, but it defaults back to the original settings each time.
    For example, I open an Illustrator eps, change the settings to 300/RGB.  Open a different file, the default settings go back to 72 dpi/CMYK. 

  • Firefox using/changing printer preferences in Windows 7 Pro

    I have a workstation printing to a Kyocera copying machine that is on the network. When she prints from Firefox, it sends the print request to the wrong cassette. I have reset the printer information in about:config. Removed and re-installed the network printer numerous times on the workstation. The workstation is running version 27.0.1. I have 10 different workstations all on the same network running the same version of Firefox and this is the only workstation I have an issue with. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Duplex by default - Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.10 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.1 with a latest updates installed. I would like to make Adobe Acrobat Pro to print double sided (Duplex) by default. In a printing dialog there is a checkmark called "Print on both sides of paper" which does the trick, but only temporary. I have to check this option each and every time I want to print duplex.
    What I tried is to edit preferences file located in /user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist and added key "DuplexMode" under  "AVGeneral" and I didn't worked. I did some research online and I found out that previous versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader had no problems with defaulting Duplex option, I even installed Adobe Reader 10.1.2 myself to try and it worked like a charm. Please let me know how can I default Duplex printing on a newest version of Adobe Acrobat? It seem like a bug to me, if it is, let me know when can I expect a software update to fix this? Thank you

    I got the precise same problem. I have wasted so much paper by forgetting to click the double-sided, and I just want it to be default.
    I have a brand new computer using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.10 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.2 with a latest updates installed.

  • "Internal error occurred" when launching Acrobat Pro X (AAMEE 3.1.150.0)

    AAMEE 3.1.105.0 generated packages run fine when pushed to Macs that do not have an existing previous version of CS.
    However, if pushed to a Mac that has CS4 installed, CS6 installs but Acrobat Pro X will not launch ("Internal error occurred").
    We are using the latest Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer DMGs from licensing.adobe.com and we are following the standard workflow.
    I know Adobe's position is "We don't recommend or support concurrent installs of Creative Suite" (I get that).
    Since OS X lacks package management (ala Yum, RPM, etc.), the term "Uninstall" is vague, but we appreciate Adobe's "cleaner tool".
    Unfortunately the "cleaner tool" is only marginally effective, it leaves a mess behind.
    And...when "cleaner tool" is used to remove CS4, it whacks CS6.
    Wait...it gets worse...when "cleaner tool" is used, we now can't push our CS6 package to the Mac...we get...<drumroll>..."Internal error occurred" when launching Acrobat Pro X.
    Someone shoot me...please put me out of my misery.
    Why can't deploying CS6 be as simple as...

    OK, we resolved the issue. Apparently there was a ~/Library/ColorSync folder present, not owned by the logged in user, and the logged in user had no access. Given OS X's domain model, it looks like Acrobat Pro X looks at that folder when it launches, even though it doesn't need to, and it can't get into it, so it tosses up the error.
    Removing the folder (since it's not needed) resolves the issue. If the folder was needed, we would change ownership and permissions so Acrobat Pro X could access it.
    Problem solved.
    Thanks,
    Don

  • Where can I find updates for Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

    I have just changed computers, and after installing Acrobat Pro 9 from the disk, I can't find updates anywhere.  All the links to Mac updates only go back to 10.  Also, my Help menu does not contain the traditional "check for updates."
    I know there are updates--my current machine (Snow Leopard) shows version 9.5.5.  I have no idea how I did it.
    The un-updated Pro 9.0 seems to work fine with Yosemite (new machine), but I'd really like to get it up to date as much as possible.

    Hi Phoenix89MR,
    Please download the updates from the FTP location mentioned below.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro

    I am using adobe pro version 9.4.0 to edit pdf files. When I double click a pdf file in the finder I get the following error message.
    The document “NameOfFile.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.
    If I go to adobe pro application and open the same file from the file>open menu, it opens fine.
    Many, but not all, of the pdf files on my disk will produce this error message. Even files originally created by adobe pro will often give me these error messages.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    You gotta love Adobe! This is laughable and absurd
    If I go to adobe pro application and open the same file from the file>open menu, it opens fine.
    If you want all your PDF's to launch in Acrobat Pro you ought to be able to choose any PDF and "Get Info" (command-i) then change the "Open with" to Acrobat Pro and then press "Change All" button.
    That's the way it's supposed to work...
    If you continue to have problems I'd suggest going to Adobe Help.
