How can I change my default PDF viewer and other things

Hello,
I am using Iceweasel 3.6.16 on Debian Stable (currently Squeeze) and the download Manager in Firefox (it should be the default one though I have the All-in-One Sidebar installed) always wants to open PDF files with the foxit reader. I don't know when it happened, how or why but everytime I click on a pdf file in the download manager it tries to open it with the foxit reader using wine, same thing happens with txt (he's trying to open them with notepad, using wine).
Now when I download pdfs I don't have a problem because I use the PDF Downloader and I set it to use okular when I want to open a pdf but once it's downloaded and I want to open it using the sidebar on the left it uses the foxit reader. So my question would be where I can specifiy what program I want to certain files.
When I go to Edit -> Preferences -> Applications and to PDF Document it says under Action "Always ask" and changing that to okular doesn't solve the problem.

AWESOME - PROBLEM WAS, AT THE TIME ADOBE AND FOXIT FILE TYPES WERE NOT APPEARING IN MY TOOLS/OPTIONS/APPLICATIONS TAB - THIS IS A MYSTERY . . . .

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

How do I change the default PDF viewer on my iPad so I can easily see annotations?

I keeping missing annotations on PDF because the built-in iPad Mail viewer does not show annotations. To limit the keystrokes, instead of using "open with" on each PDF email attachment to view in a third part app, I'd like to just change the mail default viewer. Is that possible with the current iPad operating systems?

No it is not possible to change the default pdf viewer in mail.

How do I change my default pdf viewer back to preview?

When I installed Adobe CS onto my computer I set the default pdf viewer to be Adobe Acrobat. Id like to change it back to using preview since it opens much quicker but I cant seem to find where to change the setting. Can someone help?

Via the Finder select a PDF document and use Get Info for the file.
At Open With, select the Preview application via the pop-up window.
Select Change All below "Use this application to open all documents like this".

How do I change my default PDF viewer in Safari?

I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader. Ever since, when I have opened PDF files on the internet, they have opened in Acrobat. How on earth do I switch the default back to Preview, or the regular Safari pdf viewer? I don't want to view my internet PDF's in acrobat because it takes forever to load them and it is extremely cumbersom for my purposes.

To remove Acrobat as your PDF reader, go to your User Library>Internet Plug-in Folder. There you'll see the Acrobat plug-in. Click on it, then "command key + delete" will move it to the trash. Note: If your Plug-ins are used for more than one user account, you'll find them in the same folder I mentioned, however, they will be in the Main Library.
While Preview is an option for PDF viewing, I prefer PDF Browser Plugin. It's free for personal use. Quick and easy to use, I think you'll like it.

How can we change Prompt default values based on other prompts....

Hi Experts,
I have a prompt Status --> DAILY,WEEKLY and MONTHLY.
If user selects any one of this value the default value in another prompt Startdate and Enddateshould change,Here Startdate and Enddate is Editbox/calander control.
Declared the presentation variable in first prompt and in the second prompt of SQL Results(Default to) i am writing
+SELECT CASE WHEN '@{Pres}='WEEKLY' THEN VALUEOF(VAR_WEEKLY) END+
but in the default one it was not showing the Repository variable value...
Please suggest me any solution its an urgent
thanks,
saichand.v

Hi Saichand,
Are you getting an error ("Error Generating Drop Down Values")? Or are you just seeing a blank default value?
If you are getting an error, do you have any presentation columns in your default SQL formula? If not, that's your problem. OBIEE won't let you construct a logical SQL query without having a presentation column in it somewhere.
If this is your issue, try the following: SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN <PRESENTATION_COLUMN> WHEN '@{Pres}'='WEEKLY' THEN VALUEOF(VAR_WEEKLY) END FROM <SUBJECT_AREA>
Be sure to replace SUBJECT_AREA and PRESENTATION_COLUMN with appropriate names. The condition 1=0 will never evaluate to true, so it's as if it's not there, but OBIEE will see that there's a presentation column in the formula and stop giving you the error.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

How can I change the default for reading a pdf?

I accidentally set it to "notepad" so a bunch of code comes up instead of the pdf. How can I change the default? I'm using Firefox ESR 17.0.10. Thanks.

How can I change the default application for a content type?

Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
makes okular the default.
However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
* Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
# Document Viewer (default)
# Acroread
# Other
Now it has only 2:
# Okular (Default)
# Other
I'd like it to read
# Okular (Default)
# Acroread
# Other
How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
* Open With <whatever> , rather than
* Save File ?

How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

Press CTRL + 0
Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

I am having trouble locating such files as PDF's INDD, AI etc. When I view all hidden files and try to open it in the program..it looks like it is really not on the drive. Has anyone come across a solution?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
