Force PDF baggage file to open in Adobe Reader?

Hello, I develop WebHelp using RH10 and have noticed that in my published output, linked PDF baggage files launch in the users' browser window rather than in Adobe Reader. Is this something I can control?
This seems to be the case no matter how I set the options in the Hyperlink Properties dialog (Page Default, New Window. etc).
Thanks,
Mike

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • I just downloaded Digital Editions to use an e-book I purchased.   When I try to open the file it opens in Adobe Reader and I get an error message.  Please help

    please help  I downloaded Digital Editions to use e-book and when I got to open I get an error message

    It says file could not be opened because it was either not a supported type or it was damaged.  I have already had the file resent and in talking to the American Medical Association (purchased from their site)  it appears when I go to open the file it is in Adobe Reader and I do not see an option to move it to Adobe Digital Editions,

  • Pdf files not opening in Adobe Reader

    As of 3weeks ago, all of my Pdf files are opening in Corel X3. How can I fix this?

    the uninstall and re-install may work, but i'm not sure that it's the "easiest" way.  it's not difficult, and it's good to know in general how to "associate" a program with a certain type of file as noted above.  that approach is more "universal" and "applicable" for nearly all future needs.
    That may be correct for advanced users, especially if they know that they may also need to re-associate other Adobe Reader file types such as FDF, PDFX, PDX, etc.

  • Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

    On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
    She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
    The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
    Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
    Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
    Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
    But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC.  It is not on my PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1.  It is named Adobe Reader XI.
    I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
    But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
    I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message.  As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there.   I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now.  Problem solved.
    Thanks for your help.

  • When pdf file is opened with Adobe reader, it shows extra whitespace after "w"

    I am unable to attach the pdf file here. But my pdf file is having a hyperlink "http://www.google.co.in/". When i open it with Adobe reader, its shown as "http://w w w .google.co.in/", if the same pdf file is opened in some other pdf reader, the link is properly shown and i can click over it to browse. This is a bug in Adobe Reader.
    Please revert back mentioning where should i attach the pdf file.

    I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
    The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
    If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
    However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe  reader issue.

  • Pdf attachments won't open in Adobe Reader 9

    After installing Adobe Reader 9, I can no longer open pdf files that come as email attachments. Even attachments I opened two weeks ago no longer open. Error message is from Microsoft Outlook and reads "Application not found." I've found Adobe Reader in my "All Programs" list. After opening the email, I right-click the attachment and save it as a file. Then, I can open Adobe Reader and browse to that file and open it successfully. But NOT by double-clicking the attachment in the email. Any ideas? Thanks!
    P.S. I posted this message in the "Adobe Reader 9 Won't Download" then realized it was off topic, so I started another topic. Mea culpa!

    I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
    And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
    I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
    Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

  • How to get PDF's not to open with Adobe Reader in Safari?

    I recently got Adobe Acrobat Pro. It's a great application but now when I open PDF files in Safari they appear in some strange viewing mode (shown here:)
    !http://egillsigurdur.com/discussions/pdf.jpg!
    instead of the usual view (probably some Preview plugin) where there are no navigations except when you mouse over, then you have the ability to download the file or to open it with Preview.
    Is there some plugin I'd have to delete or something?

    Do you have Adobe Reader installed? If so, open it and go to Preferences > Internet. Uncheck the box at the top of that window where it says "Open PDFs in browser using:", then quit.
    Quit Safari, launch Terminal, enter this line and press Enter:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
    Type exit and press Enter, then quit Terminal.
    Launch Safari and try to open a PDF file; it should render directly in the browser.

  • Downloading pdf on iPad mini, opening in Adobe reader, won't open, saying this is not a valid pdf document

    Hi
    I am trying to open a pdf document which is a course qualification handbook.
    I have been able to open other pdf documents in the adobe reader app, any suggestions how I can open the above document.
    I am using an IPad mini.
    Thankyou

    Is the course qualification handbook "protected" in any way?  For example, to limit the access to the content, a protected PDF document may prompt you to enter user name and password or use some proprietary technology to obscure the content.
    Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support eBooks, protected PDFs, etc.
    Would you try opening the course qualification handbook in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer and see what happens?

  • File explorer (windows 8) doesn't show the properties of pdf files such a keywords or tittle. Neither when click on second button. I just see them when the file is opened with adobe reader (file prperties)

    I attach some picture to show the problem.
    Im sorry because the os is in spanish, so i translate for you the fileds names shown
    etiquetas means tags or keywords or labels, as you can see in the first picture at the second row, some file (office pack) show the tags but the selected one doesn't (pdf).
    propiedades means properties. The properties shown are different if I opened from file explorer to acrobat.
    I think there is a compatibility problem with the xmp file (metadata) from pdf file ans windows 8.1 (64bits). I tried to solve it by installing a missing file called ifilter, but the problem continues

    I believe this is all normal.

  • How to get the PDF documents that are currently opened in Adobe Reader?

    When a PDf file is opened in adobe reader, how can we know the details of the file which is currently opened.
    If I want a copy the PDF document to get saved on desktop automatically without asking to user, How can I do this in c#?
    If there are many PDF files opened, then also, I have to get all the details of PDF documents  which are opened.
    Thank You...

  • .pkf files opening in Adobe Reader

    I sincerely hope someone can help me rectify an awkward problem.  Yesterday, for some crazy reason, I clicked on a .pkf file and opened it with Adobe Reader. To make matters worse, that infamous little box was checked, and now ALL my .pkf files are opening in Adobe Reader. I've tried reverting to a previous restore point on my PC, but for some reason it's not allowing me to do so.  Is there a hidden file somewhere in Adobe Audition where I can find the system's .pkf folder?  I'm sure it's there but I can't lay my finger on it.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  BTW, I'm using version CS5.5.

    You should find your .pkf files in the same place/folder as your .wav audio files. Once you have found one right click on it and from the drop down menu select "Open With". If Audition doesn't show in the list then click on "Choose Default Program". Then you should be able select Audition, making sure the "Always use selected program" box is ticked, and click OK to set Audition as the default.

  • PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

    I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

    Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
    I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
    As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
    Still waiting.

  • How do I save/download a PDF file  as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

    When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
    Why is this?
    And how can I fix it?
    I really need PDF files for school and work.

    What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
    Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
    There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.
