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 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 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 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.

  • 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 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.

    How can I change the Preview application default so that I can double click to open files in Photoshop?

    Select a jpeg in the Finder and go File -> Get Info.
    In the Info window look for the Open With.. pane and select Photoshop from the Drop down.

    You'll need to repeat the process for Tiffs and other formats.

  • How do I set the default pdf viewer?

    My Adobe Acrobat Pro trial ended, I actually uninstalled the program, but now when I go to websites with pdfs, Firefox (or something!) tells me I need to open Adobe and accept the user blah blah... I tried having Acrobat Reader open (which is still on my computer) when I opened the webpage - still doesn't work.

  • How do I change my default search engine back to google

    my default search engine is ask.com
    I changed my home page to be goggle but its the old firefox start unlike the one it shows when it sent me to ask :(
    Question
    Every time I get online my search engine is ask UI have typed in google into my about:config settings many times yet my search engine remaines ASK (it changes back every time and iI used the google URL on firefox's help page)how do I fix this so that my search remaines with goole not ASK because I hate ASK(no offense ask).

    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Changing default PDF viewer

    I need to change the default PDF viewer on a large number of computers
    from Acrobat Professional to Reader. When I say "change the default," I
    don't just mean the file association; I mean every default, including
    browser plug-ins.
    When you install Acrobat or Reader on a computer on which the other has
    already been installed, you get a prompt as to whether you want Acrobat
    or Reader to be the default PDF viewer. I want to get at that
    functionality, preferably by script. So far as I have been able to
    discover, the ONLY way to get at that function is by uninstalling one of
    the programs and reinstalling it.
    Is there a deployable way to do this? I prefer scripting methods, but
    manual remote changes are good too.

    I have no choice. This is what I've got to work with. And our Acrobat
    software is controlled by a KeyServer, which is why I need Reader to be
    the default (so as not to use up licenses for mere viewing of PDFs).
    In any case, the two programs do know how to set a default between
    themselves when you install the second one, so that functionality must
    exist somewhere, supported or not.
