How can I force Excel hyperlinks to open Acrobat Pro rather than Acrobat Reader?

My Excel (2010) hyperlinks to PDF file always open the Reader...but I want these files to open in Acrobat Pro (X) so I can use all the tools.
Is this possible?
Can I uninstall the reader? Will that force Pro to be the default file opener?
Thanks.
SS

Open Acrobat -> Click to 'Edit' menu -> Preferences -> General (Category)
Now click on "Select Default PDF Handler" button choose Acrobat X from the drop-down and then click apply.
It will reset Acrobat X as a default viewer and your all link will open in Acrobat then.

How can I force PDF's to open in IE?

I have Windows 7 machines with IE8, Reader 11 with current patches. No matter what setting I choose in manage add-ons, PDF's open in Adobe Reader, instead of in IE. I have reset IE, repaired Adobe Reader and verified settings many times. How can I force PDF's to open in IE?

Yes - those were the first steps. I have also tried the accessiblity assistant options and that also did not allow PDF's to open in Internet Explorer. I was only able to correct it on one machine by fully removing Adobe Reader 11.0.04, removing the HKCU registry for Adobe and reinstalling. This is not feasible on 1300 machines. I would prefer a reg file that I can push, if I can identify which registry entries affect PDF opening in Internet Explorer.

How can I force Indesign cs5 to open cs5 documents when both cs5 and cs6 is installed?

We are using Indesign with cs5-specific plugins. Due to that we have both cs5 and cs 6 installed on our workstations. Trying to assign cs5 documents (INDD) to cs5, windows refuses to let us choose indesign.exe (cs5). How can we force cs5 to be the chosen application for .indd?

The best way is using Soxy:

How can I force an image to open fully on screen within action?

In PS CS5 when I open an image with height dimension in range of 1405-1411 or 1873-1882, the image opens half off the bottom of the screen. Width does opt seem to matter.
I assume this is a bug, but until fixed I am trying to work around.
For manual editing the vertical fit screen button or zooming out causes the image to come on screen, but is neither of these display options will record in an action.
When an image is opened half off screen, a Place command does not place accurately for these images. Thus an action that includes a Place does not run correctly for these images.
So either I want to find a setting (nothing in preferences that I can find) to force the image to open on screen, or find a command that will run in an action that causes image to come on screen, while not interefering with images that open normally.

The insert menu item command, which I had overlooked (perhaps because it is grayed out to virtual invisibility until action is actively recording), solved the problem.
Thanks.
FYI I had tried all the screen mode options. Made no difference.
Also FYI a screenshot. A little less than 1/2 of the image is off screen

How can I force a document to open on page one?

Using Acrobat pro 8.0 and Windows XP. I have a 2 page fill-in form that I have inherited that has no security. It always opens on page 2. I want it to open on page one. In preferences I’ve specified that it should open on the last page viewed. I’ve explored view/navigation panels and found nothing that will alter the opening sequence. Regardless of what I do it opens on page 2.

View the PDF's Document Properties under the Initial View tab. Perhaps the "Open to page" value has been set to page 2.
Be well...

How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

How can I save an email as a download file rather than a file in my email

I wish to save entire emails in a windows folder rather than in an email folder. I have tried hitting "save as" but although I get a message telling me the download is complete I cannot open the documents. Also, I am getting weird icons after I try to download thses emails on my desktop. I am not that familiar with Mozilla but was running IE for the longest time. Any help would be appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

'''File|Save As''' gives you several options. By default it will save as a .eml file, which will need an email client to view. You can usually save by drag-and-drop, but that creates an .eml file too.
You can save as HTML by putting in an html file extension when doing File|Save As.
This add-on:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
gives you multiple options for saving one or more messages in various formats.

How can I tell that an individual product is installed rather than being a part of Creative Suite?

Dear All,
Sorry if this question is not appropriate for this forum, but I could not find a better one.
When I inventory a computer's registry, how can I know that the individual product (such as PhotoShop CS5) is installed, rather than installed as part of the product suite, such as Creative Suite CS6?
Kindest regards,
QuietLeni

Mylenium,
Is this true for ALL versions of the Adobe Suites or just the latest ones?
I seem to have a computer which is showing up in the list of machines with CS5 installed and in the list of machines with PhotoShop CS5 installed.
Kindest regards,
QuietLeni

How can I force a link to open in a new tab on a Mac!?

On Mac, CMD + Click only opens a link in a new tab if that link is located on that same subdomain and domain. If the link goes to another domain or subdomain it will just ignore the click!!!
For example, on www.cnn.com I can CMD+Click on a number of article and they will open in a new tab. However, if the article is to a money.cnn.com or to some other website my CMD+click will be ignored.
Also, would be nice to do the same in gmail. Actually, in gmail the link opens in another tab, but you are forced into that tab, so again the expected behavior of opening in another tab while remaining on the current page is being ignored.
Seems to be an ongoing issue for a few years a no one has provided a decent answer other than install a plug-in. Also, several 'about:config' options I've read about only talk about behavior when opening a new window, nothing dealing with the ignored clicks.

guig2, thanks for the response, but I don't believe this will help. Of the TABs options in preferences the only possibly relevant one is to force a link that would normally open in a new window to open as a tab instead.
As for the plugin the two 'secret options' it talks about, I have already tried, which are basically a twist on the preference options.
It also seems from the reviews of the plugin that it doesn't always work, or doesn't allow you to select which site open in a new tab, which is what I want.
Is there some way to force firefox to interpret CMD+Click as a right-click->"Open in new tab," basically the context menu always works and is the expected behavior for CMD+Click (which doesn't always do this, possible due to the page modifying the behavior).

How can I force pop-ups being opened in a new tab

We've a new software which always opens a pop-up window when clicking on the Java links. The content of such a re-sizable window perfectly fits into a new tab.
I'd like to force those new windows into a new tab.
Pop-up blocker is active and that internal site is in the exception list.
So it would be nice to have an option field for that in the general settings or in the Pop-up blocker settings.
This is no bug, but could be a new feature of Firefox (like in IE).
Thanks &
Kind regards,
Peter Marbler

The easy way is to install 'Tab mix plus' addon and under 'links' set 'Java script & pop up restriction' to 'open all pop ups in tabs'.
You can also use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ to tweak a bunch of other tab settings.
There is always about:config but more often than not there is the easy way, an addon that will do it for you.

How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How can I force child windows to open on the same display as the parent?

I have a MacBook running Lion.
I use an external monitor. My work involves using a lot webapps and I frequently have popups I need to see and use. If I am on the external monitor, the popups always go the main laptop screen. (I have the laptop open.)
I use Chrome and haven't had much luck googling a fix because child and parent tend to bring up results about parental controls which is not my issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Which screen displays the menu and the dock? If it's not your external screen, you can choose it as your main screen by going to System Prefs > Displays and dragging the white line on top of the internal screen to the external one. However if you do that you will have the same problem with your laptop screen...

How can I force mailto: links to open my webmail client in a new tab?

I have configured Firefox 5 to use my Hotmail account as the default client when clicking 'mailto:' links. I would like to know if it is possible to have my webmail client open in a new tab by default when composing a message, so as not to navigate away from the page I was viewing.

Open a new tab. In the address bar type; '''''About:Config''''' and press
enter. If you get a page that warns you about continuing, press the
'''''I will be careful''''' button. In the search bar, type; '''''Newtab'''''.
Look for; '''''Browser.newtab.url'''''. Right click and select '''''Modify'''''.
Type; '''''About:home''''' (or what ever page you want) and press
enter. That should do it.
