How do I change the Adobe Reader Online Word Look Up Dictionary?

When I select and right-click a word in a PDF file in Reader, it pops-up a menu with a Look Up Word option. Upon clicking it, I am taken to dictionary.com website. I want to change this to OED, because I have an account with them. Moreover, I often study old texts with words that are not mentioned on the default site. I have searched high and low, but couldn't find a solution. There must be a way to change it to some other on-line service or off-line program.
P.S: If there is no way to do it, I strongly propose Adobe to include this feature in future updates/releases. Trust me, there are thousands out there who absolutely need it.

I know of no way to change the dictionary. However, here is where you can put your request:

How Can I Sign The Adobe Reader X User Agreement?

When I try to print documents, the reader 10 user agreement comes on, with the accept below the taskbar. It does not respond when the cursor is over it.

I opened up the EULA in the C drive, put it on low pixellation via properties and signed it then. Thank you for your prompt attention to my difficulty. Take care. -Steve

Are you doing this in the web browser? If so, have you ever launched Adobe Reader as a standalone application? If so, then you should have had the opportunity to accept the EULA.

When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Question
When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

How to force using the adobe reader to view the PDF by javascript / PHP / HTML?

I use the standard way to embed a pdf to my website, however, when I open it the browser will choose the default pdf viewer instead of the adobe reader. I can change it manually by looking at the browser option but it would not be nice if the website visitor need to do this manually. So I would like to know how to force the browser to open the PDF in adobe by using some HTML header / javascript / php or any parameter in object tag. Thanks.
<object id = 'zoomPage' type='application/pdf' data= '" + sourceFolder + "SingTao/2013/08/17/0/0/A/Content/pdf/pdf_" + currZoomPageNo + ".pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&pagemode=read'><p>The PDF can not display</p></object>

I know this problem related to the browser behaviour so I would target only :Chrome firefox and IE 9+ (it is ideal if IE8 can also adopt the solution) thanks

How i can change the country regon online

how can i change the region online while shopping?

Scroll to the bottom right of the store's page and you should see a round US flag - click on that and on the next screen click on your own country's name/flag, and you should be taken to your own country's store (assuming that there is an Apple online store there).

How can I get the adobe reader app on my iPad to accept my login info?

I can login to adobe with my computer, and Safari on my iPad, but when I try to login with the adobe reader app on my iPad, I get an incorrect user ID or password message.

Try logging on to https://exportpdf.adobe.com/. See if it asks for date of birth, if so, fill it in. For some people (bizarrely) this fixes it.

How can I use the Adobe reader if the PDF documents are in iBooks?

The Adobe reader asks me to look for an "Open in" button but iBooks does not appear to have one. I like IBooks because it synchronises nicely with the computer, and I can read the PDFs but I cannot highlight, add comments or add bookmarks unless I use the Adobe reader.

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks. You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

How can I activate the Adobe reader plugins

HHow can I activate the Adobe reader plugins

victorn00,
Are you using Adobe Reader on a Mac or Windows computer?
There is no such thing as "plugins" for iOS/iPad/iPhone. Unlike desktop apps, Adobe Reader for iOS and any other iOS apps do not use plugins.
Would you provide more information about what you are trying to do by activating "plugins"?

How do I change the font of individual words in a JTextArea?

Hey everybody! I just have a quick question about JTextArea. I have a JTextArea and I am trying to find out how I can go about changing the style of individual words. For example, the first 3 words could be bold, and the next 3 words could be blue. How would I go about doing this? I know it is possible to change the entire font style of the whole JTextArea, but I am looking to change only individual segments at a time.
JTextArea area = new JTextArea();
area.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(320,380));
area.setLineWrap(true);
area.setWrapStyleWord(true);
//code to change the first 3 words bold
//and the next 3 words blue (as an example)
//would go hereThanks so much!

Try using HTML:
Set the text to:
area.setText("<html>My <b>Text</b> Here</html>");
and see if the word Text is in bold. If so, then you can go as far as you want using HTML tags to set bold, color, etc.

How do I change the PDF reading order without changing the image color or Lists?

When I change the reading order in a PDF (created using InDesign), some images are getting darker. Any idea how to change this back (no, CTRL+Z doesn't work) or prevent it from happening?
On a related topic, my PDF passes the 508 compliance check before I change the reading order, but afterwards the Lists have errors. I cannot figure out how to fix these errors manually.
Thanks!

Say, user opened this form, worked on it, submitted (we have our own submit button) and closed the window by clicking the top right corner's X button, but user is seeing stll the red Reader icon on the bottom bar, even thought the user is closed the window completely
If user try to close this reader red reader icon explicitly, user is getting the other exception popup as Runtime error as described here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391738

2) if so, what the JS code i need to put and
3) in which event pls.?

2) Once user double cliks the above red icon, user is getting below popup

How do I stop the Adobe Reader Installer from crashing?

I downloaded install_reader10_en_air_mssa_aih.exe and this popup appears:
Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger
An exception occurred. Process will be terminated. (Exception address is 00413E6C).
If I leave it open for a while, it eventually says:
Just-In-Time Debugging
An exception 'Runtime Error' has occurred in Script.
However, no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. Unable to JIT debug.
When I tried opening a second copy, I did not get this popup, but instead received a different message:
