How do I choose Preview as default over Adobe Reader?

Once you update one thing . . . can of worms. How do I choose preview as default over Adobe Reader?
Here's why I want to change the default viewer, in case anyone has ideas: When I updated to Reader X (as required by some of our industry-specific programs) my Quickbooks Online financial program no longer prints in either Safari or Firefox.
I called QB and they said they only support Reader 9.3. Uninstalled Reader X, tried install 9.3. No go--isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.6.7. Gave QB my "thoughts" on their not being up to speed with Reader updates . . .
So, maybe changing to Preview as the default reader will work. Adobe 10 has overruled Preview.
How do I set the preference to go back to Preview?
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader using the cleaner tool and then re-install the latest version.
Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.
Latest version of Adobe Reader:- http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you still experience the same issue, please share the following information:-
- Screenshot of Adobe Reader showing printer options
- Screenshot of Microsoft Word showing printer options

Hyperlinks can be of several types. What are you linking to? Exactly what
application did you test the hyperlinks with on the Mac? What application
did you use to create the hyperlinks?

Download errors - defaulting to Adobe Reader regardless of file format.

Before this week, whenever I would download a file, a box would pop up asking me if I wanted to Open the file or Save It. In either case, a file would be found in my Download folder as expected. A week ago, I reluctantly added an old version of Office for Mac (2008) to my 2012 Mac mini (OSX 10.8.5) and since then, every file I try to download, no matter what the format, seems to default to Adobe Reader when I try to open the file. All the files have a .part extension and when I try to open them, an error message like this follows: "Adobe Reader could not open 'owUNL4ca.part' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). How do I fix this?

In the Finder, select a file of the type in question, then select
File ▹ Get Info
from the menu bar, or press the key combination command-I. In the General section of the Info dialog, select the application you want from the menu labeled Open with. If the application is not in the menu, it may not be able to open that kind of file, but if you know otherwise, select Other… Then click Change All… and close the dialog.

How do I open a web page in Adobe Reader from ipad2? I don't see any buttons to click. I'm new user

How do I open a web page in Adobe Reader? I got the app for ipad2, but when a page says I need a certain version of AR, I don't know what to do. I'm a new user and don't know if I have to "open" AR and it automatically reads whatever doc I have up on the web, or is it always running and any web page I'm on should show a button to click in order to open the page in AR?

If a website says that you need a certain version of Adobe Reader, it is probably attempting to detect whether or not you have the Adobe Reader browser plugin installed. This is something that only works on desktop systems where browser plugins exist. Since browser plugins don't exist on mobile, website developers should take care to present different messages and provide different options for downloading PDF's when visited by mobile browsers. I recommend contacting the website owner and requesting that they implement access for mobile devices.

Reader itself is free. The PDF Pack service that you can use through Reader does not have a trial. The only thing they have that converts pdf files and has a trial is Acrobat Pro.

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

How can I load up some pdfFiles from adobe Reader on my iPad into my Adobe Creative Cloud?

How can I load up some pdfFiles from adobe Reader on my iPad into my Adobe Creative Cloud?

There is no app for uploading files from an iPad to the Adobe Creative Cloud, and the iPad security model does not allow for upload of files from the browser. The Adobe Touch Apps do provide syncing up to the Creative Cloud but none of them are really designed for working with pdf files.
You can connect your iPad and move the files to your computer. From your computer you can upload the files via a web browser.
