How can i get my computer to read pdf files?

My computer has stopped reading Adobe pdf files. I keep getting a Microsoft Word File Conversion box which asks if i want to use Windows Default, MS DOS, or other encoding to read file, but nothing works. I have un-installed and re-installed Adobe Reader X on my Dell/Windows Vista PC but that hasn't helped.

How are you trying to open them? Have you tried one of them from within Reader? If you can, it sounds that you have a problem with files associations.

Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

How can I get Elements 13 to read RAW files from Nikon D750?

I've upgrade my camera from the Nikon D3200 to the Nikon D750. With the D3200, I used Elements 11 to edit both JPEG and RAW files, but found out today Elements 11 isn't compatible with the D750 to read RAW files. I downloaded the trial version of Elements 13--which is compatible per the Adobe help desk, but the RAW files shot with the D750 still aren't being seen; however, I do see RAW files that I took with the D3200.
Same memory card is being used and I formatted the card when I changed it from one camera to the other.
What am I doing wrong? I almost always shoot RAW, so I need to be able to the files.
I'm wondering if Elements 13 really is compatible with the D750.
I want to add I'm using a MAC.
Thank you!
Shannon

I was able to figure out the issue--the D750 files must be converted to DNG files first, then I can upload them to Elements and edit them as I would a RAW file.
If anyone else is having this issue, I found the video helpful: Learning | LR/PS - The Advantages of the DNG File Format | Photoshop.com.
You can find the free DNG converter here: Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
This works for both MAC and Windows.

How can I get firefox to not save pdf files (such as bank statements I have looked at) to my documents and settings/temp folder?

I just realized that some (but not all pdf files that I have opened) pdf files of bank statements as well as other pdf files that I have opened when browsing with firefox have been saved to my documents and settings/temp folder. I am concerned about this for security of my data, but also confused as to why all of these documents (as well as some word documents and other types of non .tmp files) are being stored here. Please tell me how to stop this from happening.
Thank you,
Wimajeanne

I can understand that they would appear there if I have the document open, or have recently viewed it. These documents are over a month old, some are over a year old.
Also, it is not just PDF files, I also see word docs and java.exe files in this folder. None of these files have the %temp% in the title as they do when I have a particular document open, rather they are a copy of the file or document that I have saved to my data file.
My main concern is the security of information when random PDF and doc files are stored here without my knowledge.
Thank you.

If you could give us some more detail about what you've done, what you are doing and what exactly happens when you do it I might be able to give a better answer.

Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer?? I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it. There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing. How do I get rid of it? Cannot select it. Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it. The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it. I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

Hey needadobehelp10,
Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
Is this really you wish for?
Please let me know.

How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.
