Default for PDF documents

The default to open a pdf document always goes to "preview", which frequently marks the file as un readable. i have to save the pdf to a folder, then go in and "Open with" adobe. How do i change the default for any document with a .pdf subscript to automatically open with Adobe?

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • Thumbnails for PDF-Documents

    Hi,
    I want to use "thumbnails"-property (rnd:thumbnail) for PDF-Documents. Do I need an extra plug-in?
    Thanks!
    Kind regards

    Hi Mark,
    as far as I know the BADIs here are used to connect a special converter which is able to convert PDF files into useable thumbnail formats.
    Maybe the information in the following link can help you to find a consulting partner which can help you to realise this function:

  • How do I make preview default for pdf's in safari?

    I googled it and it said to go to library in your finder, but there is no "library" in my finder. what do i do?

    You can make Preview the default for PDF files you download in Safari. Locate a PDF file on your system, select it, click cmd-i to Get Info, then find the "Open With" tab, change the application to Preview, and click Change All.

  • How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

    Somehow the default setting for all my PDF documents and photos is now ColorSync. How do I change the main default setting, which I think should be Safari?

    The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
    Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

  • Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

    We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

    1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
    I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
    2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
    Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

  • Very Slow Load Times for PDF Document

    Hi,
    I have a PDF document that takes forever to load in preview (on the order of a minute or more). It is eight pages, but when I try to go to the last two pages, each of which has a drawing created by using Autoshapes in Microsoft Word, again they take a minute or more to load.
    The document looks to have been created by Acrobat 6 for Windows from a MS Word document. Adobe Reader 7.0.7 on another machine loads the document correctly and speedily (well, as speedily as Adobe Reader can...).
    Are there known problems with this type of graphics, MS Word drawings, in a PDF document? Is there any way I can make the document load faster?
    Thanks,
    Jeff Corbets

  • Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

    I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release.  Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
    Now Pages will open these files.  Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages? 
    (Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

    Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

  • Highlight Fields as default for PDF Forms

    Hello all,
         I've recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which get marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users have to click first on "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is there a way to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?
    Cheers,
    David

    The suggested code didn't work for me with Adobe Reader 8.0.  However, since I am a novice at this, I may not be adding the code correctly -- can you please tell me if this JavaScript client code for layout:ready is correct or not?  I added the code in red.  (I am using LiveCycle Designer ES Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496).  It seems to be in the right place because if I alter the code to unconditionally set app.runtimeHighlight to false, then when I open up the form with Reader 9.0, the highlighted fields are off.
    form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.CurrentPage::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
    this.rawValue
    =xfa.layout.page(this);
    // Turn on highlighted fields
    if 
    (!app.runtimeHighlight){
    app.runtimeHighlight
    = true;}
    form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.PageCount::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
    this.rawValue
    = xfa.layout.pageCount();
    // Turn on highlighted fields
    if 
    (!app.runtimeHighlight){
    app.runtimeHighlight
    = true;}

  • Help with browser issue - Acrobat Pro default for PDF

    Hello,
    I have Acrobat Pro CS3 set as default for reading pdf's, because I often have to edit the pdf's I open. This works fine with pdf's I open from disk.
    However, it seems that somehow Acrobat Pro has taken over as default for opening pdf's inside browsers as well. My plugins list in FF shows "Adobe Acrobat 9.1.0.163 Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape". Whenever I navigate to a page which is a pdf, the entire Acrobat Pro external program opens, displaying a blank page and an error message popup - when I click OK on the error, the application closes and the pdf opens in the browser window - sometimes this requires several tries before it opens in browser.
    Here is an image showing the error message and the FF plugin installed: http://terraffirma.com/images/PDF-error.jpg
    I have Reader 9 installed on system, and I am downloading Reader 10 just to see if a reinstall will correct this.
    Any suggestions on how to set system up with Acrobat Pro as default for opening pdf's from disk, and having browser directly use a plugin?
    Thank you.

    Thanks Chris - That did EXACTLY what I wanted it to do.
    I was able to create a button that prompts the user to save the form, then it hides the price fields, then it flattens, then it e-mails the form. The order was important since I wanted the salesperson to be able to save the "not-flattened" form.

  • Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

    I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
    I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
    Does this sound right?
    Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
    Thanks,

    Hi Greg
    You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
    Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
    That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
    And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.
