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 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.

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 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 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 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 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.

How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

Hi,
Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
3. Click on OK.
This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

How can I force a group of checkboxes using imported PDF forms

how can I force a group of checkboxes when using imported PDF forms,
My checkboxes are single fields rather than a group, the form is design using indesign?

The PDF file format doesn't support grouping check-boxes into a multi-choice field. Because of that, FormsCentral just represents them as check boxes.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
Thanks

I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.
