How do I change my default file reader from Preview to Adobe in Firefox 3.6.28

I have always used Preview as my default download reader, however now some documents such as utility bills can only be opened using Adobe 9 reader. My question is this, how do I change my default reader to Adobe 9 in Firefox 3.6.28, Mac OSX 10.4

Unrelated to your issue, it looks like you're using a very old version of Firefox. You should upgrade to the latest version, Firefox 11 -- just go to the Help menu and click Check for Updates. This link walks you through the process: [[Updating Firefox]]

  • 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!

  • HT2506 How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

    How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

    I'm assuming you want the default programme to change from Preview to Graphic Converter so that clicking on the file would open Graphic Converter instead of Preview.
    Control click on the file type that you want to open using Graphic Converter. Press Command+I for Get Info. Click on the triangle next to Open With. Select Graphic Converter and Press Change All...

  • How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

    Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

    Hi Harry
    You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
    After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

  • Screen shots  - how do I change the default file type

    Screen shots using command, shift, 4: I used to get pdf files from the screen shot command, now I get PNG files. How do I change the default file type from PNG to PDF? PNGs are a pain.

    Also, there are utilities like OnyX that will change the screenshot settings.
    But this AppleScript is my favorite.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US?

    Hi,
    I live in Québec, the french part of Canada. Because I use French, iWork think I leave in France, so the default templates are in A4.
    How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US? It seem's impossible. In Pages 06, each language folder had templates. But with Pages 08, it's different.
    Please help.

    Autre façon : Ouvre un nouveau document. Il va être en A4. Dans le menu Fichier--->Format d'impression. Une fenêtre apparaît. Dans la ligne... Taille du papier, tu choisis... Lettre US; tu fais OK. Ensuite tu sauves ce document comme modèle. Menu Fichier----> Enregistrer comme modèle et tu lui donnes le nom, par exemple... USLettre.
    Ensuite, va dans le menu Pages, va dans préférences et dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre - Préférences générales - tu choisis : Utiliser le modèle... et tu cliques sur Choisir... à droite un peu en bas de Utiliser le.... et là, dans la fenêtre qui va apparaître, tu trouves le modèle que tu viens de faire...USLettre.
    Voilà. Chaque fois que tu vas ouvrir Pages, ce sera USLettre qui sera là par défaut.
    J'espère que ça va te satisfaire.
    Évidemment l'idéal serait de pouvoir changer la template Vierge par une template Vierge US... mais j'ai pas encore réussi.

  • How do I change the default file saving type

    I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
    I want to change the default file type when I save files.  I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
    I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
    I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
    Any help?  Adobe has been of zero assistance. 

    I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
    What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows.  I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images.  I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides.  I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
    So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to).  It saves the file.  Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2.  Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made.  YAY!  More wasted time!
    It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program.  How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online?  Something so simple?  Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard?  Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
    So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size.  It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME"

  • How do I change the default file format for saving files in Preview

    I often take screen clips and save them as files to my desktop, then upload them to my website or include them in emails. The default file format for Preview seems to be TIFF, but I'd prefer jpg. How do I convince Preview to use jpg as the default file format?
    TIA,
    Thad

    I should have been a little clearer...
    If I'm emailing a screen-clip, I can just paste it right into the email, but I post on a lot of discussion boards and it's often nice to be able to include a screen shot in those. My preferred way to do that is to post the clip at my personal website and then put a link in the post. It gives me the ability to delete the image whenever I want (a plus for any security freak) and it works on every discussion board I know. Some boards allow attachments, some don't. Plus I don't want to have to remember different d/b file attachment procedures. Anyway, when I make a screen-clip, I need to temporarily save it (usually to my desktop), then ftp it to my website. I use Preview to do that. It's simple. But I'd like it to default to .jpg instead of .png or .tiff. (FWIW, I just tried it and the default was .png, but I swear I did something similar earlier that defaulted to .tiff when I first tried to save the newly-created file).

  • How do I change the default paragraph style from Body Text?

    The default paragraph style in my email setup is Body Text. This does not wrap properly for some recipients, but Paragraph does. How do I change the default so that Paragraph is automatically used when I start a new email?

    There are two types of defaults: defaults for all new documents and defaults for the current document. To change the default for any open document make sure no text frame is active and change the formatting as desired in either the Control panel or the Character and Paragraph panels. To change default formatting for new document (those not yet created) do this while no file is open. You can’t change the defaults for several documents at once without a script.

  • How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

    I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

    Two observations.
    First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
    Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click  ... Save Image As. 
    The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
    The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:
