Changing default PDF setting

Is their a way to modify the default PDF setting used in Save as PDF or force AI to use another one for each new doc? Actually, every new document open or created will use the [Illustrator Default] setting. I want a custom one to be the default. Is this possible? How?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to default my Acrobat Reader or Pro to open up certain software?
Example: I have a vector catalog with images that opens up in PDF format but when I click
on the image it's suppose to open up in Illustrator. Instead it opens up in PREVIEW.
Can anyone help please??

Changing default PDF viewer

I need to change the default PDF viewer on a large number of computers
from Acrobat Professional to Reader. When I say "change the default," I
don't just mean the file association; I mean every default, including
browser plug-ins.
When you install Acrobat or Reader on a computer on which the other has
already been installed, you get a prompt as to whether you want Acrobat
or Reader to be the default PDF viewer. I want to get at that
functionality, preferably by script. So far as I have been able to
discover, the ONLY way to get at that function is by uninstalling one of
the programs and reinstalling it.
Is there a deployable way to do this? I prefer scripting methods, but
manual remote changes are good too.

I have no choice. This is what I've got to work with. And our Acrobat
software is controlled by a KeyServer, which is why I need Reader to be
the default (so as not to use up licenses for mere viewing of PDFs).
In any case, the two programs do know how to set a default between
themselves when you install the second one, so that functionality must
exist somewhere, supported or not.

Change default pdf file name

Hi,all
How can I change a default pdf file name from unknown.pdf to something else?
Regards,
Michael

HI Michael,
Yes you can do that,
Just do something like
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("PdfSource");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
     binaryType.setFileName("TravelRequest.pdf"); // Set file name
     binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF); // set the mime type
for example in the doInit() before providing the file for download

Oracle Inventory: How to change default category set of items

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to change the default category set of functional area inventory in oracle as we are importing new items into inventory whihc need to be assigned to a new default category set.There is an existing default categpory set for this area.
As far as i understand once a default category has been set up and an item has been defined, the only way to change the default category set for a given functional area is to update all items with the new default category set before updating the default category set/functional area relationship.
How exactly do we update the defaul category set for an existing item and change it to a new one. Since we have close to 15K items what is the best way to do this.Is there ay API available?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Helios,
Thanks a lot for your response
The fix given in this document is to allign all the exisitng items to a category set (purchasing in this case). This is exactly what my doubt is. How to assign 15k items to a different category set. If i am able to allign these items i can change the default category of the functional area.

Change default character set of JVM

Is there a way to change the default character set of JVM to say, UTF-8?
System.out.println("Default Character Set: " + new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()).getEncoding());
System.out.println("File Encoding: " + System.getProperty("file.encoding")); On Windows
==========
Default Character Set: Cp1252
File Encoding: Cp1252
On Linux
========
Default Character Set: ASCII
File Encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
I would like to save on the effort of changing the many lines of code that looks like
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out)); to
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8")); Thanks

Try this:
-Dfile.encoding=utf-8
as vm argument.

Want to change default border setting for inserted subreports

hi -- When I insert a subreport into a main report, its default borders (all 4) are set to single. I want them all to be
None... and I've read that the default is None. But that's not what I'm getting.
How can I change the default border setting / restore it to what it's supposed to be?
Thanks,
Carol

This has been a development request of mine for years. Currently there is no way to default the borders to None.

Changing default pdf export

A huge part of my job is saving pdfs out of Illustrator, my question... is it possible to get the save as / pdf window to come up
with my preset (ApogeeX) instead of the (Illustrator Default) and then having to drag to mine each time?

Yes you can record an action. My action in addition first prints, then saves the .ai file, and then saves the .pdf to the desktop and closes. Recording the action remembers the pdf setting you chose. I have been using this action since alteast AI8 adn has saved me countless hours, and really nice because saves you .ai file, so you do not forget before making a .pdf.
I inserted the action flyout to insert a stop, to slow the action down. Basically this goes so fast can cause Illustrator to crash, and got tired of adjusting playback actions speed each time you restart illustrator. This also work by saving to the desktop, and you manually drag the .pdf to the final folder destination.

Changing Default Layout Setting - User-specific

Dear Gurus,
This is related to general ALV Layout setting. When we choose Select Layout -> Choose Layout, the default layout setting will show All, is there any way by which we can change this to User-specific Layouts by default? (may be through some parameter id?).
Many Thanks!
Best Regards,
Sree.

Hi ,
Can you explain me your requirement in detail.

IPhone 3G S - Change Default PDF Viewer?

Have an iPhone 3GS. Bought Goodreader because I need a PDF viewer that has reflow ability. I also use dropbox to easily link to my important files. However, whenever I open a PDF file, it launches the default iPhone PDF viewer, which does not have reflow. There are ways to get my files into goodreader, but they are cumbersome. In any event, I really just want my default PDF viewer to be goodreader so every time I open any PDF file whether it be from an email, dropbox or whatever, it used goodreader. Is this possible? Thanks.

Thanks. I tried the g thing and that is a nice time saver. I know about dropboxes' web app to grab files. In fact, I'll use that with your g thing tip. Just trying to save the steps it takes to get it into goodreader from the dropbox web app. Being able to directly load from the dropbox iphone app would be better, but your g thing is quite a bit better than the next best alternative that currently exists. I still wish there was a way to make goodreader the default pdf viewer.. Thanks.

Change default PDF viewer in Firefox

Hi,
I use Firefox a lot for viewing the web and when I click on a PDF file I get the option of either saving it to my computer or opening it in Preview. However, I'd like to be able to open the PDF directly in Adobe Acrobat. Is there a way I can set what application should be used to open my PDF files from Firefox? And if so, how do I do it? Thanks so much.

Georege Orville,
These look like the instructions to change the default viewer in the Finder. I don't have a problem doing this, my only problem is that when I click on a PDf file in Firefox it always opens with Preview instead of Adobe. When I right click on a PDF link in Firefox I'm allowed to open the link in a new tab and then a pop up box comes up allowing me to either "open with <application>" or "Save to Disk". But the only application I'm allowed to use is Preview, which is what I want to change. Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much.

Adobe API changing default PDF settings

Hello
In my company we are required to work with a different PDF reader/editor, in order to integrate a certain digital signature.
We also work with a CRM that uses Internet Explorer's Adobe Reader plugin to display PDF files, such as invoices, letter, etc.
The required PDF reader is set to be the default reader in Windows 8.1. When a user uses the CRM, and the program calss the IE Adobe Add-In, the default reader is changed for the entire system.
Help needed, thank you.

Hi GLT,
in Firefox open Preferences and select "Helper
applications". There you should be able to define
Acrobat as default application.
Thanks. Unfortunately, there are options for .MP3, .PNG, et al, but not for .PDF. Nor can that be added as there is no field to do so.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

In Project/Properties, you can change it for all photos you add to the project in the future.
To change for all photos already in the project, there is a way to do it in iMovie 11, but I can't remember if it is also in iMovie 08. It is worth a try.
1) Pick a photo. Use thte Roate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool to set to Fit.
2) With that same photo selected, EDIT/COPY
3) EDIT/SELECT ALL
4) EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP
