Help me download pdf without going through Pages first

SO I was in a hurry one day. A window pooped up asking how I wanted to open a .pdf I clicked down to Pages (because I erroneously thought it would save me time moving the info to a thesis paper.) I must have also clicked do this every time, because well, it tries (and fails) everytime.
I have already done the trick where you click on any pdf file
go to the Open with: menu and change it to preview (or adobe, whatever)
then click change all
but the computer still tries (and fails) to open it with Pages first.
I can click on the pdf in my download folder and it opens correctly now, though
so how do I get it to stop using pages when it first downloads?
thanks in advance

  • If deleting a note page from your note apps by mistake is there anyway to retrieve it without going through iTunes or icloud, is there a deleted bin that is installed where you could decide if you want to have it deleted for good or restored.

    If deleting a note page from your note apps by mistake is there anyway of retreiving it without going through iTunes or iCloud. This is the new age of technology and there should be a deleted bin as in most computers or websites. There must be a way..

    There is no undelete facility on the iPad, when you delete something then unless the app itself has an undelete option (which the built-in Notes app hasn't) then it is gone. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then you could try restoring to the backup, but you would need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just do a single app.

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

  • Using axbridge.dll without going through the JRE installation process

    I've searched the web and this forum for this specific problem, and have found related items, but nothing that quite answers the question.
    I have an application that uses the JRE's axbridge.dll to access a DLL created from a Java bean. I used the packager to create a DLL named MyBean.dll.
    When I go through the full JRE install, everything works great. That is to say, when I execute Sun's JRE installation program and go through the normal install process, I can access the bean through MyBean.dll without any problems.
    I am accessing MyBean.dll from a Visual Basic 6.0 application. Converting to VB .Net is NOT an option at this time. The VB app uses MyBean.dll for a critical part of the application.
    It is my understanding that it is not strictly necessary to go through the full JRE installation process. Simply deploying the JRE by copying its directory (and all subdirectories) to your application's directory structure should be sufficient. This would be HIGHLY desirable for my application. In fact, if I can't do this, it may be a show-stopper.
    When I install my application in this way (i.e, by simply copying the JRE instead of "installing" it) it doesn't work at all. I immediately get an error saying that the executable "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and a dialog is displayed offering to send the problem information to Microsoft.
    The details indicate clearly that the problem occurs in the axbridge.dll, version 1.4.2.60.
    1. Any ideas on how to get the axbridge.dll to work without going through the full JRE install?
    2. Are there any alternatives to using the axbridge.dll to get my VB app to be able to use the Java? Remember, it is VB that must call the Java, NOT the other way around.
    3. Is JNI an alternative? If so, can I use JNI to get VB to use Java, or do I have to write the DLL's in C++?
    Any help you can give would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

    I'm also on a JRE installation problem with the bridge.
    Here is a regmon extract on excel using a dll that uses a java-packaged dll from the bridge:
    5229 5.69504923 EXCEL.EXE:2364 QueryValue HKCR\CLSID\{9DD49FCD-BB61-414E-88C8-E6F5B35AEDCB}\InprocServer32\(Default) SUCCESS "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\bin\axbridge.dll" << The axbridge dll in a specific location
    5271 5.70646800 EXCEL.EXE:2364 QueryValue HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.5.0_05\JavaHome SUCCESS "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05" << an installed JRE 1.5.0
    This is confirmed with process explorer : excel is using "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar" and not "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar"
    In other word, the axbridge check for its installation location in the registry to know where to start.
    Even if all your components have been updated in the registry as suggested here : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=40&threadID=559704
    JRE Bug or feature?
    Anyway the registry is evil.

  • HT204023 How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a wi-fi direct printer WITHOUT going through my household  wi-fi network/modem?

    How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a "wi-fi direct" printer WITHOUT going through my household wi-fi network/modem? I want to get rid of my household internet service/modem and only use my iPad, but need to be able to print. Please help! Thank you!

    Depending on the printer, you may be able to connect/print by creating an ad-hoc (Wi-Fi direct with no router) connection. Check with your printer manufacturer to see if this is supported.
    There's a ton of info out there. You could google "ipad print ad-hoc" for some useful info. But the number one thing for you right now is to verify that your printer model supports an ad-hoc connection.

  • HT1222 A download is not going through? What do I do?

    Hi,
    I am seeking help. A download is not going through IOS on my iPaD.

    No it is not the same. Erasing the device is Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. But bear in mid that this will totally erase your iPad and you will have to activate the device and start all over again. It is the same as setting up a new iPad out of the box. But it should allow for a clean install of the iOS and if you backup using iCloud you can restore from the iCloud backup (you will be prompted to do so during activation) and all of your content will download again from iCloud.
    The caveat to this is that if you having some issue with downloading to the iPad, this could present another problem.

  • Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

    Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
    - I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
    - My outlook express has no problems
    - other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
    - my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
    - every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
    I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

    Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.

  • How can I attach a photo to an email,using Photoshop Elements9,without going through the Revel cloud

    How can I attach a photo to an email using Photoshop Elements 9, without going through the Adobe Revel cloud?

    Adobe user wrote:
    I'm using Windows 7.  I have no email clients.
    You don't need an Email client nor Adobe Revel account to send email and photos as attachment.  All you need is an email account (could be free web-based account such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL or whatever including from your own ISP.  And of course an Internet Connection.
    Now the most obvious requirement is out of the way so you need to go in to your Organizer and click on Share button and choose Photomail. Select the photo you want to send and follow the instructions that are on your screen.
    You also need to request an Adobe Verification Code to enable you to use Adobe's Mail Servers to send the photos for you.  To do this go to:
    Edit >> Preferences>> Sharing
    Look for something like this and fill out the red boxes where indicated (click on this image to see it clearly).
    Hope this gets you started.

  • Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone from taking the quiz, without going through the conte

    Hi.
    Is there a way in Captivate 5 to prevent someone from clicking on the quiz to take it, without having gone through the content?
    CB.

    Hi.
    Regarding preventing someone from taking the quiz without going through the content...
    I decided to separate the quiz out of the project as a separate item.
    We are going to use a Learning Management System which will house the module to control the access.
    The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the Quiz link, until they have gone through the content.  (So they cannot by-pass the content and just do the quiz).
    I was trying to find a way to control this from within Captivate 5 and keep people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz inside the original project).
    However, this LMS solution will work for this module.
    Thanks everyone!
    CB
