How Do I Get Reader To Open PDFs, NOT Adobe Elements?

HI,
I am trying to figure out to remove Adobe Elements as the apparent default to open pictures and PDFs, instead of reader for PDFs. I am not given the option to right click and select "Open With."
Help, please!

Sorry, didn't know that you can open PDFs with Photoshop. So if PDF is associated to Photoshop, you can change this in Windows Explorer very easy (if you're using windows): Right click a PDF file, chose properties, on the general tab, you see Type of file, Opens with and a big Change button. Click the change button and within the box find and select Adobe Reader 8.1. If you can't see it there, use the browse button to search AcroRd32.exe and click open, click OK, click Apply, done!

  • 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?

    "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.

  • Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file open OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to opens in colour in Elements 13?

    Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file opens OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to open in colour in Elements 13?

    Thanks for your reply - I just open the file with "Open" in the File menu - all my own jpg files open fine in colour. This is someone else's photo given to me and it does not matter how I open it "Open", "Open in raw" or "Open with ..." it always opens in B & W raw in the raw dialogue box. In Elements 9, which I also have on my PC it opens fine as jpg in colour so I can edit it there, but I am just wondering why I am getting this problem in elements 13. If I open it in any other programme such as Windows Photo viewer or Office 2010 viewer it opens fine in colour.
    Not sure what you mean by "basic settings" menu.
    Thanks for the reply

    Are you trying to import the photos into the pse 12 organizer or open them in the pse 12 editor?
    They should be supported in pse 12 without any updates to camera raw.

  • How do I get Reader to open hyperlinks with Google Chrome

    I'm using Adobe Reader X Version 10.1.3 on Windows 7 to open a PDF I've downloaded to my hard drive.  The document opens fine and it has hyperlinks to sites on the internet.  When I click one of these links, it opens Microsoft Internet Explorer to navigate to the page rather than my default browser, Google Chrome.  My system Internet Settings window confirms that IE is not the default browser and the Chrome settings window says that it is the default.
    Does Reader have its own concept of the default browser?  Is there a way to change this or is it going to be stubborn?

    Thunderbird uses the browser you have set as default. Have you set Chrome as your default browser?

  • How can I get Preview to open pdfs in portrait?

    About a week ago, Preview started to create new files in landscape only. I can't find any way (e.g. in preferences) to change back to my preferred portrait mode. I haven't updated my system software (OS X 10.6.8) for some time. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried positioning your mouse cursor over the lower right corner of the window Preview is opening in, then holding the left mouse button down and dragging the window's corner to the portrait shape you want?  Preview would then remember this size next time you open it.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I get Safari to open in Preview?

    I am using Safari 5.0.5; have downloaded Adobe latest version; checked on Adobe preferences/internet to use Adobe. But from Safari PDF files will not open. Get a black screen with no content. How do I get Preview to open PDFs from Safari and thereby avoid this problem. Interesting issue -- this only occurs on iMac with Snow Leopard; my MacBook Air, not using Snow Leopard, opens Adobe from Safari.

    Hi
    If you want pdf's opening in Safari, using the built-in support (not Adobe) then quit open browsers, go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & remove any 'pdf' plugins. Occasionally, they're in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    If you really want Adobe to do it in browser, and the plugin is in place already - try opening Safari in 32 bit mode. Command-click it in the dock, then File-Get Info, & check the 32 bit box. Takes effect the next time Safari is started up.

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

    How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing  defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes   into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

    Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
    Select the "Open With" Box
    Change it to "Preview"
    Then select the box just beneath it
    "Change All."
    This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

    If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

  • How to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

    how to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

    I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
    PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
    This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
    Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.
