Click on pdf file, I get windows (default)...

Hi,
every time I click on an adobe file, it won't open. The file opens with windows....If I try right click, I get an error message.
How do I change an adobe file to be opened by the adobe software, not windows?
Thanks in advance.

Right click the PDF and choose Open with:
Then from the list of programs, select Adobe reader as the program to open it with.
Check the box to always use this program for this file type and click OK.
If Adobe Reader isn't in the list of programs, browse to it in the Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9/Reader folder, then select it and choose to always use it for this file type.

I have Preview as my default pdf reader. Every time I download a pdf file, I get a dark grey screen. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I also installed Adobe Reader because an ebook I downloaded wouldn't open without it.
I then chose Adobe Reader as my default. When I later uninstalled it using the Trash Me app-which usually clears everything out-I couldn't get Preview back as the default.
I went to the "Library/Internet plug-ins" path and trashed the two Adobe Reader plug ins that were there. I used Secure Empty Trash, and then shut down completely and did not check the box to reopen any windows. Then I restarted the Mac.
I not only shut down Safari, I closed all applications and shut down the Mac completely being sure to uncheck the "relaunch with windows open" button. When I turned the Mac back on, I opened Safari and went to an online PDF that I had been trying to open previously to test the app. It opened this PDF using Preview and showed it in Safari.
I then tested using a PDF from my files and it opened in Preview.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy / paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Reader v11 will not open in Windows Explorer (or browser) when clicking a PDF file; just a flash on the screen.

Reader v11 will not open in Windows Explorer (or browser) when clicking a PDF file; just a flash on the screen. I can open Reader from Programs then open the file. I'm using a laptop upgraded to Windows 7

I do no understand "flash on the screen"; could it be http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529 ?

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 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.

Why does my pdf file open in 'windows picture and fax viewer'?

Anytime someone sends me a pdf file, when I click 'open', it automatically opens up my 'windows picture and fax viewer' and of course, I get nothing. So, in order to read a pdf file, I must first save it, then go into my Adobe Reader, and open it from there. Can anyone tell me how to change that? It's only happened since I upgraded Adobe Reader to 8.0. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Right click the pdf file and click on Properties. In the General tab click the Change button and associate the Adobe Reader 8 program to the pdf file. Click Ok, then Apply.
I assume the connection to this forum is that the pdf file is a Lighroom generated slideshow.

Launch pdf file through browser window.

I tried this.String cmd="iexplore.exe http://subash/doc/help.pdf";
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Error -- "+e);
}I am getting Error --
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: iexplore.exe http://subash/doc/help.pdf error=2please give me a suggestion.
Otherwise so any other way to launch pdf file through browser window.

Hi,
Column Name     ID     Pk     Null?     Data Type     Default     Histogram
PT_SEQ_NO     1     1     N     NUMBER (10)          Yes
SM_SERVICE_ID     2          N     VARCHAR2 (15 Byte)          Yes
PT_FILE_PATH     3          Y     VARCHAR2 (100 Byte)          Yes
PT_FILE_SERVER_PATH     4          N     VARCHAR2 (200 Byte)          Yes
NO, I'm not storing that file in Blob. i'm not storing it in database. i'm just transfering it from client location to server location . That's it.
But i'm storing both the path from where i picked the file and where i uploaded. That's client path in PT_FILE_PATH field and server path in PT_FILE_SERVER_PATH.
now i want to get that file from server location and show it only on Browser.. Not storing in database, justing putiing in folder at server location.
thanks

Hi, when I go to "select files to send" and click on "sent files" I get: "Internal Server Error (500) Your request could not be completed due to an internal server error". I tried rebooting and that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cannot open a pdf file - i get a long string of coding and no text

I try to open a pdf file but get a string of codes.

10.9.5 should be able to run the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader, which should open almost any PDF file. http://www.adobe.com/ has a place to download the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader. Preview application can open most Acrobat files, though a few written with the latest Acrobat may not work. Some forms may not properly become editable under Preview, though you can write text to PDF files independent of forms with Preview. The fact you are getting codes says that the file is likely an incomplete download of an Acrobat file, or a compressed Acrobat file in some unknown format. Usually control-clicking the file and selecting Open With will reveal what programs can open it. Bomarchiver is the built-in decompression tool of Mac OS X, which if selected should open most compressed archives. Find out the source of the document and determine why it may not be complete, or who compressed it with what.

When forwarding Word or PDF Files they get corrupted

I have several users that when they forward either a word document of a pdf file they get corrupted. If I forward directly from Outlook (2007) they are perfectly fine.
Anybody know what is happening? We tend to send a lot of word/pdf files.
Thanks

Okay, let me be specific here.
I have:
Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 fully installed and licensed to this computer.
I also have an older version of Robohelp 7 installed.
Both have all the updates done.
The machine also has:
MS Office 2003
and the updated Adobe Distiller program.
What I want to do is to "print" - IE, generate - a Word document version AND a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project.
(Ignore this part, because this is not the issue. The generation of the files is the issue. Nothing else. The block, and the problem is that I cannot get Word or PDF files to generate from Robohelp 8.)
What I will do with this is convert the Word doc BACK to Robohelp 7, AND import the Word doc in FrameMaker.
(But again, we do not care about what I'm going to do with the files. The end result is not important. What is important, again, is:)
I cannot "print" - IE, generate, a Word document AND/OR a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project from the generate dialogue box.
I'm hoping that this clarifies the issue, since there are no add-ons to what I'm trying to do here. I'm not dancing the angels around the head of the legacy pin, I'm not trying to open a R8 in R7, I'm not trying to cure cancer or shoot a bulls-eye at 1,200 feet.
I am trying to "print", IE, generate, a Word document OR a PDF from my current Robohelp 8 environment and cannot do so.
(Sorry for the excessive description, but it looked like we were branching off into realms that weren't the problem at all.)
In response to Peter - I did try a sample project, and the same issue occurs. When I click "Printed Documentation" in either of the projects, a popup comes up that says "Parameter is Incorrect". This is an unmodified item that I'm opening - stock off the installation.

I am trying to install MasterCollection_CS6_LS16. When I click the install file I get this error message: We've encountered the following issues. Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation.

I am trying to install MasterCollection_CS6_LS16. When I double click the install file I get this error message: We've encountered the following issues. Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation. What does that mean? How should I proceed?

Hey iraravitz,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are working on.
You might receive this error when you attempt to install on a drive with the HFS+ Case Sensitive file system, which is not supported for installation of Adobe Creative Suite 6.
So, please try installing on a drive that has been formatted with a supported file system.
You might refer the KB doc link mentioned below for the same:
Error "Case-sensitive drives not supported" or similar install error | Mac OS
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,

Any Suggestions?

I moved your question to the Adobe Reader forum since you're working on a Mac (not an iPad or iPhone).

When I try to open a pdf file I get an error message stating "There was an error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Other pdf files open fine.

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?

Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.
