How do I change standard programs (f.i. opening PDF with acrobat instead of preview)

I tried it with : "open with" and there it asked if id like to open it with that particular program next time. But then PDF again was opened with the original program
thanks

In the finder select the file and right click on the file and select "Get Info" from the drop down menu. In the files Info window that open, there will be several triangle with a title next to it (ie. General: , More Info: , Name & Extension: and then Open with: . If under the Open with title is just the next title "Preview", click the triangle to the left of Open with: so you see a drop down menu you can click on to see a list of application that can open that file. Select the program you want to use to open the file (if it's not in the list select "Other..." and locate the program in your Applications folder. Then click the "Change All.." button under the drop down menu in the "Open with:"

How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

Something to try -
Having installed Acrobat Standard you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer installed.
From your authoring application do a "file-print" and select the Adobe PDF printer rather than the attached local or network printer / plotter.
Be well...

FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

Yes, I mean the eternal application.
Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
Thanks

How can I open pdfs with Acrobat directly from Firefox (Android)?

I would like to open pdfs directly with the Acrobat reader app, without downloading it (& saving it in the downloads folder). When I open a pdf, FF offers me several apps or a download, but not the Acrobat Reader, also Acrobat it mentioned as the standard application for opening pdfs.

The file must be downloaded for Adobe reader to be able to display the file. There is no way to display any file without downloading it.

How do I stop it from defaulting to open everything with Acrobat Pro?

Perhaps unwisely, I did a 30-day trial for Pro, and now that it's over, every PDF I open brings a screen asking me to buy Pro. I just want the document to open in Reader- I'm not going to buy the Pro. Is there some default I don't know of? Any other tips to make my life easier?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin ,
You can right click on that PDF and select open with " Adobe Reader".
This will open the PDF in Adobe Reader.
I believe Acrobat must have been set as your default PDF viewer and that is the reason you are facing challenges while viewing a PDF.
Follow the above steps .I am sure that will help.
Moreover,Adobe reader is a free software from Adobe .If you don't have it installed in your system ,you may get it from the web.Here is the link for the same.

How do I change the default application to open files.

I am rather new to Mac OS (using Leopard). I am rather frustrated, that I have not been able to find a way to change the default application that opens PDF files. I looked around the System Prefernces, couldn't find it, searched the Web, nothing. And I could not find an answer in this forum either.
So here is my question. How do I change the default application for opening PDF files from Preview to Adobe Reader? I do not want to have to click "open with" every time, I want to open a PDF file.
And how do I do this for other files also? For instance, I may want to open images files with Photoshop instead of Preview.

Hey ! I was going mad with the same question - and I'm not a complete newbie - so thanks to William for answering it - I knew I'd seen that dialog somewhere, but just couldn't find it. Text edit was driving me crazy telling me that .ppt files were screwed, now I've got em to open with Powerpoint...
In answer to your last question, Craig, the dialog that appears to ask if you're sure specifically says the change will relate to all .pdf files ( or .ppt or .whatever ), so it won't stop Preview from opening other types of files.
Thanks for the help - searched Apple support in vain on this one...

How to call the Standard Program in our ZPROGRAM?

Hi Frieds can you tell me the procedure how to call the Standard program
in z----
program and we have to get the data from standard one to our customer program.
Thanks in advance,
madan mohan.

Hi,
*Submit report but export resultant list to memory, rather than
*it being displayed on screen
SUBMIT zreport EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.
Once report has finished and control has returned to calling
program, use function modules LIST_FROM_MEMORY, WRITE_LIST and
DISPLAY_LIST to retrieve and display report.
*Example Code (Retrieving list from memory)
DATA BEGIN OF itab_list OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE abaplist.
DATA END OF itab_list.
DATA: BEGIN OF vlist OCCURS 0,
        filler1(01)   TYPE c,
        field1(06)    TYPE c,
        filler(08)    TYPE c,
        field2(10)    TYPE c,
        filler3(01)   TYPE c,
        field3(10)    TYPE c,

SUBMIT zreport EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
    listobject = itab_list

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.
