Disable Page Thumbnail Default for Scans

When scanning in Acrobat 9 (Create PDF From Scanner), page thumbnails are always displayed when the scanned document opens in Acrobat right after the scan. In Document Properties > Initial View > Navigation Tabs is set as Page Only, so this is not a setting that is saved with the document. It appears to be a default action after a scan completes.
How do I change the default behavior so that after the scan, only the document shows (no page thumbnails) ?

Wow, this forum is helpful.

Getting pages as default for word files. How?

Hi,
I have iWork 08 and I basically want pages, keynote and numbers to open any Word documents, excel or powerpoint as default. Problem is, I also still want to have Office installed on my computer which makes for some difficulties because every word doc etc opens in office be default.
How can I make them open in iWork as default without having to delete Office from my apps?
Thanks!

Hi macmx,
Select Word document in Finder and get file info (command+i) and then in Open with: change Word app with Pages app and then click Change all...
Repeat this steps with PowerPoint and Excel files.
Hope this helps!

Setting default for scanned photos

I have a Canon LiDe 90 scanner,...I scan photos and save them as a jpg file, but the default program for all the files are either preview or Photoshop. I'm looking for a way to select all the files and set them to iPhoto. I can do them one at a time, but it's a pain,...Option click the photo, select Info, select program drop down,...then find iPhoto and clcik OK,....takes way too long! - D

The catch is that Preview is a photo viewer, photoshop is a photo editor and iPhoto is a photo organiser - and that's a key difference. You can't set iPhoto as a viewer or editor (though it can do both) because first and foremost it's a database, and as such the data needs to be imported.
So, now the question becomes how to get these pics into iPhoto. Where are they when you try to import? Will dropping them on the iPhoto Window or iPhoto icon on the dock work?
Regards

ICal Version 5.0 (1535): How do I disable page turn over for month/year view?

This animation is nice. And it's nice at a certain point when you see it: That is the first time. After that it eats up your precious time and slows down your workflow and is simply annoying.
Apple, famous for not giving the user any choice, of course, has no option to disable this stupid feature. Is there a terminal command to disable it which is not documented?
Any help is welcome. And if Apple would provide an opt-out of this time-wasting animation it would be even better.

Okay, I found out, that holding alt and clicking the arrows in iCal avoids the animation. But that is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to use the normal keyboard shortcut cmd + arrow keys for navigation, but without that time-consuming animation.
but currently it looks like there is no solution for this problem.
shame on you apple, for not giving me the option to disable the animation.
shame on you apple, for not providing cmd + alt + arrow keys for an alternative (navigate without animation).

In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro V9.4.0
Win7 Pro x64
Problem: In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?
Every time Acrobat scans a document, I have to go to Initial View to set Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification. It does not remember the settings I last used.
Thanks in advance.

Hiding the tool bar / showing page thumbnails by default

Hi there
Does anyone know how can the right side tool bar be hidden by default on Acrobat DC?
Likewise, how can the page thumbnails show up everytime a PDF is opened?
Many thanks
Gil

Following up on an earlier post...
I've tried a few alternative PDF products (which shall remain nameless). It is clear that Adobe creates really good, solid albeit sometimes annoying technology. In looking at reading capability, it is clear that Acrobat handles the more difficult situations effortlessly, and performance is quite good. Notwithstanding this, the majority of PDFs that I come across are quite mundane. An unsubstantiated guess is that most are created from basic MS Word documents.
The raison d'etre for the PDF was to maintain the sanctity of the print format when presented online. For the majority of documents (again unsubstantiated opinion), this is irrelevant. It is used the way it is because it is the easiest way to take a Word document and make it readable electronically.
If my guesses are correct, Adobe has really misread the main usage of Acrobat. Instead, the focus is continuing the development of Acrobat to keep it meaningful. Unfortunately, this direction is taking it away from its primary use case. Typically, product management is paid a lot of money to make bad judgements (being snarky) and this may be one of them. The product is better fulfilling uses cases other than just being a reader, the primary use case.
So, going back to looking at alternative products: what I've seen is that there are those that have some of the duality of Acrobat. What was done, however, was an acceptance of this duality: there was a way to switch the product between an Edit mode and a Reader mode. Something such as this might go a long way towards quieting people like us.
And, as a response to other comments in this thread...
One of the things that I do when designing a document for within Acrobat was signalling if I wanted the left pane to display. In many cases I did as this left pane would contain an outline of the information that is in my document. By manually creating a structure, I could facilitate my reader's access to the information. (I never found a use for thumbnails.)
It should, of course, be up to the reader if they want never to the left pane by default. However, as a document's designer, I want to have the ability to say how I want to be.

Scanning multiple pages - pop-up for "Next Page" appears

I'm running Acrobat Profession version 7 on OS X 10.5.
My scanner is an Epson Perfection 3170 with an automatic document
feeder.
The settings for scanning seem to have been goofed up -- any
assistance in resetting them would be appreciated.
Previously, I could drop a handful of pages into the feeder, choose
FILE => CREATE PDF => FROM SCANNER in Acrobat, set the scanner to ADF
(automatic document feeder), and it would create a single PDF from the
whole stack.
Now, the first page scans, the second page feeds through without
scanning, and then I get a pop-up called "Acrobat Scan". It says,
"Next Page" and "Front of Sheet 2" is selected (no other options) --
and I can choose DONE or NEXT.
If I choose NEXT, it scans the next page (and then skips another page).
When I choose DONE, it goes back to Acrobat and the PDF is created.
(Obviously, every other page in the document is missing.)
It never did this before, and it's kind of pointless having an
automated feeder if I have to stop after every page.
A few points:
- reinstalling the Epson software did not help
- I notice that I get a separate pop-up the first time the scanner dialog opens -- this pop-up allows me to choose a scanner (only one is currently installed). Don't remember getting this before the problem started.
- I have another program that uses the same scanner -- it continues to scan multiple pages without interruption. Ergo, I assume this is an Acrobat issue.
Any suggestions on fixing this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks! -c

Thanks, Brian!
I've tried turning the scanner off/on, both after the computer is booted and when it's shut off.
Between the need to select "Next Paqe" all the time, and the fact that the scanner skips every other page, I'm really annoyed!
Does anyone have any other suggestions on where I might find a solution? I considered contacting Adobe, but their per-incident support seems kind of expensive.
Thnx! -c

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…

How can I disable Pages 5.1 and make 4.0.3 the default again?

Does anyone know how to disable Pages 5.1 so that it NEVER opens a doc again unless I somehow re-enable it?
I don't want to delete it in case someone sends me a tainted 5.1 Pages doc. Plus I'm sure if I DO delete it, it will keep showing up like a bad penny when I run the software updater which is nearly equally anoying.
I have tried doing a "get info" on a pages doc and selecting "open with pages 4.0.3" then clicked on "Change All" to make it the default app. This worked on my initial install of Mavericks but after doing some updates, the system will no longer obey the "change all" and insists on opening new pages files with 5.1. I've even tried changing the name of the app, but OSX is not so easily fooled and still opens the doc with the renamed app.

Bury it a couple of folders down in Applications or simply archive (zip) it.

btw You seriously need to update iWork '09 to v4.3

When I open a new tab, I have to move to the other side of the page to click "home". Can I set the same "home" default for new tabs?

My home page opens in the initial FireFox window, but new tabs open with a blank page. To get to my default page I have to click "home", but now it's way over on the other side of the page.
Can I set a default for new tabs?

right click on the control bar and choose "adapt" (or something like that). A window will pop up. Ignore that window and move the home button to the place you want it ''on the control bar''

The back button no longer works. I have disabled all add-ons, rebooted & reset the defaults for the browser and nothing has changed. This happens on all webpages.How do I get the back button to light up again?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs

Using an old school PPC Mac, OSX 10.4.11. Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs. It only remembers the last page visited for searchable pdfs, but not for scanned. I have the box checked in "Preferences: Restore last view settings..." I cannot upgrade Reader on this system, or my OS, so I'm stuck using what I have for now. I have to read huge documents for my work, that will include hand written notes in the margin and other marks on the page. The documents are hundreds of pages long, so it's a bit frustrating that it can't remember the page number for this type.
Are there any fixes for this? Something else I can try?

I tried to find the download for 9.5.5, but my OS is not in the list. I'm on a non-intel PPC mac. I tried finding that version on the web, but most of the links lead me back to Adobe, where it doesn't seem to want to be found. It obviously exists somewhere, but Adobe isn't making it easy to access!

Making Pages the default program for opening text documents

How do I make Pages the default program for opening text documents? Every time I open a text doc it launches in TextEdit. This must be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Navigate to a .doc file.

Before you click Open make sure you click the 'Always open with' check box.
You should be okay.
You can do a similar think by selecting the file, Choosing File-Get Info
Then open the Open With Disclosure triangle.
select pages and then click CHANGE ALL
Hope this hleps.

Make Pages Default For Opening Word Documents

I currently use iWork but also use openOffice, whenever I open up a Word document by double clicking it openOffice opens... How can I make Pages the default application for handling these files?

Walt...THANK YOU...can't tell you how irritating it was for me to, by force of habit, double click on a *.doc file & then have Parallels start to open Windows XP so it could get to MS Word - I just did not want that to happen...what a pain. I tried to find a way to have Pages be the default program for *.doc files but couldn't until I read your entry. As a new Mac convert from years & years of Windows use, let me say it again...Thank You
