Every time I go to open a PDF, Media center opens instead of Adobe. How do I open a PDF

How do I open a PDF and have Adobe do it? When I go to open one it always goes the the Windows Media Center.

Please go to: Tools -> Options -> Applications
and check what do you have chosen under 'Adobe Acrobe Forms Document". If it's not "Adobe Acrobat", change it.

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • ? Every time I attempt to open a pdf using Adobe11 it crashes.  I reinstalled and same problem.

    ? Adobe 11 crashes every time I attempt to open a pdf. Uninstalled and reinstalled... still crashes.

    If you are in Windows (which we don't know), you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

  • Every time I try to open a pdf file it says i need to accept the end user agreement

    Every time I try to open a pdf file it says I must accept the End User Agreement, so I just try to install it again and it pops up an error.

    Does it just say you have to accept the license agreement, or does it say you have to LAUNCH something (Adobe Reader, or Adobe Acrobat)? If it says this, have you done what it says? Or would you like assistance in how to launch stuff in Mac OS or Windows?

  • Firefox locks up every time I try to print to PDF.

    Every time I try to print to PDF, Firefox locks up and has to be shut down. I have the latest versions of Firefox ver 35, all Windows 7 updates, Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.5, etc. I tried refreshing Firefox and it did not help. I tried making a new profile and staring with it, and that did not help. I am stumped. Can you help get this fixed?

    It may be that you can change the current pdf reader, or try to reinstall it. In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options.
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Another troubleshooting step would be to try resetting the printing options in Firefox. [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why must I activate my Adobe Acrobat every time I try to view a PDF?

    Hi There! I have reinstalled my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard, as a recent work network upgrade removed all non-standard programs from our computers. The installation process included having to activate it, which I did. Since then, almost every time I need to open and view a PDF, I get the activation warning and have to activate again. Sometimes it works, and I can continue to view the PDF. Sometimes the activation screen warns that I have activated too many times and shuts down! Please help.

    Well, it never activates properly, meaning the pertinent data is not stored permanently. Could be anything from local user privileges to networking stuff. Talk to your IT again. They probably made a mess with whatever they did. Activation requires admin priviliges at least for the first time...

    my windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

  • IPhone 4 I can't use my Safari app. Every time I try to open it, the LAST app that I had used (and closed out of) opens instead of Safari. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Sorry! I didn't realize that a message window opened up, so am not sure if my entire question showed up. I can't use my Safari app at all. Every time I try to open it, the app I used (and closed) previously opens instead. It doesn't matter what app it is, it is just the previous app used. Settings: 4.2.6 (8E200). Model MC676LL.  Please help...Thanks!

    Dear Linc,
    Thank you for the advice, John Blanchard1  and Linc Davis
    As suggested in your reference thread I removed "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpPostScriptPDE.plugin" and the problem has been resolved.
    I am guessing the the plug-in for the hp printers got corrupted and effected every thing, or became unsuitable when I installed an Apple update. I would be most grateful if you can confirm how the problem was coursed so I can understand and learn from this experiance.
