How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system?

How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system? It works with firefox. It worked previously but I think the automatic upgrade to reader 9.4 messed it up - so how do I fix it?

Hi,
It looks like the default association of your PDFs was set to Adobe Acrobat, when you installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I would request you to either uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and install it again. This time around, you will receive a window asking you to chose between Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application, make sure you select Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and continue on. This will associate Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application and your internet explorer will be able to open PDFs without an issue.
If an uninstall seems out of the question, you can change the following registries to point to the path of AcroRd32.exe (i.e. the path wherein you have installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. By default it would be something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe). The quotes mentioned below are intentional and must be included.
i. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
ii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Open\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
iii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Read\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
This should set the default application to view PDFs as Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and let you view PDFs in browser as well.
Hope this works.

How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files. How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?
Message was edited by: veeryTalonted

"Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

You can't. If you could it would be a HUGE security bug, and would be quickly fixed.

How do I get Bridge to show PDF's with their dimensions in inches?

How do I get Bridge to show PDF's with their dimensions in inches?
I know how to tell Bridge to do it. But it seems the information is not embedded in the PDF's.
Is there a way to make the PDF's be aware of their size in inches at authoring time?

I'd like to have Bridge showing PDF dimensions in millimeters. Also dimensions for InDesign and Illustrator files in millimeters. Is this still an upcoming feature? I've been waiting for this since CS3...
Thanks

How do I get my Photo Stream to sync with my Windows 7 PC and my iPhone 5 after it has stopped working?

My photo stream has always synced just fine between my Windows 7 PC and my iPhone 5. However, just a month or so ago it stopped automatically syncing. I turned it off and on in the iPhone settings in two places, deleted all the photos manually, signed out of iCloud on my PC and even uninstalled iCloud on my PC. Now it appears to be partially working. If I add or delete photos from my Photo Stream on my iPhone, the changes are reflected on my PC. However, if I delete photos or add photos to my Photo Stream folder on my PC, the changes are not reflected on my iPhone. I can delete all the pictures out from my Photo Stream on my PC but they are all still there in my Photo Stream on my iPhone. How do I get the two devices to sync properly again?

Hello snoopy016,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

I added some photos into My Photo Stream on my Windows PC, but they don't appear in My Photo Stream on any of my devices.
Have a nice day,

Minimnum requirement system to read pdf files with 3d model attachement in acrobat 7 or 8

I would like to know what is the minimum system requirement(mac and pc) to read a file by a user of pdf acrobat reader 7 or 8.
Does it necessary to have a graphic card, minimum processor needed and screen resolution. If the computer accept the installation of release acrobat 7 or 8 , dose it mean it can read the 3d file attachment.
I heard that it is possible to install acrobat 7 or 8 only on xp or vista, is it the same for apple computers.
thanks

>I would like to know what is the minimum system requirement(mac and pc) to read a file by a user of pdf acrobat reader 7 or 8.
The product is no longer called Acrobat Reader. It is now called Adobe
Reader.

You mean Reader? Acrobat Professional? Acrobat 3D?

No, you cannot install Vista or XP on Apple computers.

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

You might try the third party application Air Docs, I've briefly tried it, but not enough to provide an opinion on it.

How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

I ahve this problem too, my macbook is set up as an imap account for gmail, say I get an email and it shows as new in my gmail, iphone and macbook, and I then read it in my gmail, it is marked read on my iphone but stays as unread on my macbook.
This is really annoying as if I read emails during the day on another computer I can come back to them all being new on the macbook.
Is there a fix for this?

How do is get back to Read & Write permissions on HDs ?

Hi gang,
I was trying to set up one central folder for 4 iTune users (accounts) in our household.
One of the blogs said put in "Shared" folder and set permissions to "Read & Write". I tried but on "Everybody" is does not offer the "R&W" option, just "Read". They also said to be sure you clicked "Apply to Enclosed Items" in the drop down. Although I could not set "Everyone" to "R&W", I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" and the hard drives clicked for at least 15 minutes.
Afterward I got a pop up that said...   System Extension "/System/Library/Extension/ACard6280ATA.kext" was installed improperly and can be used. Try reinstalling. and an OK button to click. I clicked OK and at least 100 more popup appeared, one after the other as I clicked OK.   They all had the same basic message except the info after /System/Library/Extension/, it kept changing slightly on each new popup.
The big problem is I now have three of my four internal hard drives locked to my access and all they say custom on the permissions Privilege window.   Only my main HD is working, thank God.
How do I get back to Read & Write on Privileges, and on all Hard Drives?
Thanks for any help, I just made the move to MAC but have good background with windows operating system.

Thanks for all the reply's, I really appreciate your time. I have Apple Care so I worked with Apple tech last night and today, but they had to pass problem on to their engineers. They did a great job trying to help and spent 2 hours helping me input in code through the Terminal screen. It helped a little, but we still can access drive 2, 3 and 4 due to the global permissions that were changed.   All in all, it looks like we have to reinstall the OS on a washed HD.
I found out that the Repair program (Disk Utilities) only repairs permissions that were created after the initial set up. It won't correct original setting and that's what happened when I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" at the root level. Likewise Time machine does not clone the main operating system so a restore would probably not get all the pieces back in their proper places.
I was thinking of doing a reinstall of the whole Mac HD drive (boot drive) with an exact copy I made with Carbon Cloner a month back, but the techs seem to think they will have to work on of the 4 individual HD I have.
Thanks again for the quick responses, I will let you know what happens in a few days.

I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW files?

iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

Hopefully you have the library files on the drive too, or access to the original computer where the library still works. See Make a split library portable.
