How do I open pdfs in iBook and not Adobe reader? (OS X Mavericks)

On iOS devices, I can save and read pdfs in iBooks. How do I do it in the new application for OS X Mavericks?

Hello there, FootballTechGeek.
The following Knowledge Base article shows how this can be done:
OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11329
Particularly:
Permanently change the document’s app
Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • How can I open pdf attachments in email? Adobe reader used to do this, and does not.

    About 3 weeks ago, I suddenly could not open pdf attahments while reading my email. I now must down load them and save, in order to open them. Can someone help me to fix this? They open on my desk top, but not in Internet explorer. I would like to see them before down loading. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Enable the Adobe Reader plugin in browser : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

    Eric-
    FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat  this one for Acrobat
    But, since I have had this same issue myself...
    On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
    Good luck.

  • Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

  • How do I open trial PS?  I get  "Adobe Reader could not open Photoshop_13_LS16.7z because it is eith

    How do I open trial PS?  I get  "Adobe reader could not open Photoshop_13_LS16.7z because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged..."  What am i doing wrong?

    the .7z extension is a compression format. If your system is trying to open it with Acrobat then somewhere along the line you system has tried to associate the .7z files with acrobat.
    You will need to download software to un-compress the .7z file. you can get a trial version of winzip for example or perhaps winrar - both of which will read that format. (do a Google search for either of these).
    During the installation of either of these you will get the opportunity to associate files with the correct program (including .7z).
    Once you have done that you should be fine.

  • I keep getting Object already exists when loading Adobe. How do I get rid of it and load Adobe Reader

    How do I get rid of i t and get Adobe Reader again.

    Windows update KB2918614 to the Windows Installer Service has caused similar issues with other software.  You might want to try removing that update (it will have been installed near the time you began having this problem).  Then reboot and try again to install the Adobe application.

  • Fillable Forms Are Not Readable in PDF Readers That Are Not Adobe Reader

    I have created a number of forms with the help of Adobe Acrobat. I saved the blank form as a templet of sorts. I'll fill it out, then lock it with a checkbox and javascript and then I'll save it as a different name and email it to my client as a quote, or something like that. That should be it, but if they open the PDF in a PDF reader that is NOT Adobe Reader then they will see a blank form with no form fields to fillout/click on or anything.
    I've run into this problem a number of times with people using smartphones to open and view the quote. I know that the iOS and Android systems have the ability to download Adobe Reader as an app. However Android, I'm not sure about iOS, has a program defaultly installed on the phone that can look at PDF files (I know this because I tried on my phone). When people open up the form in one of those programs I get a situation like I discribed above, but if they open the same file in Adobe Reader, be it on their phone or their computer, it works just fine.
    Why is this? Please tell me there is a way to fix it. Thank you in advance for everyones help.

    The rules of how PDF work are written down in a big (1000 page) book. However, people who create apps often leave out great big parts of the book. You can't fix this, only tell them that they must use Adobe Reader, and be prepared to help them do that. May people don't realise, for example, that viewing a PDF in Chrome or FireFox won't use Adobe Reader even if it is installed. And on iOS you cannot change the default PDF viewer, only send PDFs to Adobe Reader later.

  • How do I make IE open PDF inside browser and not prompt?

    I am using IE 11, Adobe Reader 11.0.06.
    When I try to open a PDF inside a browser window (for example this one: http://helpx.adobe.com/dk/pdf/acrobat_reference.pdf) I am prompted to Open, Save or Save As. I want open the document directly without being prompted.
    How can I achieve that?

    I have now tried the following: Adobe Reader was completely uninstalled. I then downloaded and installed the Adobe Reader 11.0.00 package directly from the Adobe site and upgraded it to 11.0.06 afterwards.
    In this default configuration it works - PDF files on web pages open directly in Internet Explorer (Windows 7, IE 10).
    I then removed Reader and ran our deployed version (from SCCM). Then it failed to show PDF's in the browser, as before.
    So a setting in our TRANSFORMS file could be an issue. Does anyone know if you can set this open/do-not-open in browser inside the MST file using Adobe Reader Configuration Utility? Our installation CMD file looks like this:
    REM *** Install Reader 11 MUI base package
    msiexec /i [\\servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std\acroread.msi TRANSFORMS=\\[servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AcroRead.mst LANG_LIST=[language] /passive
    REM *** Install 11.0.06 MUI update
    msiexec /update \\[servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AdbeRdrUpd11006_MUI.msp /passive

  • How do I open PDF files in Acrobat, not Safari?

    Sorry for such a dumb question, but I would like to open & view PDF files in Acrobat (v7.03 standard) rather than in Safari when I go to a PDF file in Safari, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. (OS 10.4.2)

    Ok, You can do one of 2 things.
    Go where ever you find something that needs you to download to view as a .pdf.
    If it opens in your browser as a pdf but not with the Adobe logo save it to your desktop by either opening the print dialogue and clicking "Save as PDF".
    You can actually do that with any document. Then just highlight but dont open and click on "Get Info".
    Once inthe dialogue ,look to the part that says "Open with" and locate and select Adobe 7.0.3. Click 'Open With' to select the dailogue that says, 'Use this application to open all documents like this.'
    Click 'Change all'
    That should do it.
    Also you can right click on a mac pdf document and get the dialogue 'Open with' and find and select Acrobat. You will be asked by Adobe if you want to make Acrobat the defaulf programme for such files.
    There used to be somewhere that you could just go to and download a simple pdf that when clicked on just presented you with the last piece of this method.
    You could also just stick in a CD of a programme that you have bought for your Mac, drag any PDF that may appear on the CD to your desktop and perform the latter part of instructions.

  • Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

    What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
    Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
    PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

    Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.

  • Opening .PDF's in IE7 with Adobe Reader 9.0 & Adobe Writer 5.0

    Hi
    I am running a XP Pro environment on a HP D530 machine. I have installed on this PC Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Writer 5.0. I have defaulted through the folder options all .PDF and adobe related files to open in 9.0 and done the normal 'open with' option aswell. Problem is on this internet ticker link i have/use, all the .PDF's posted on there always default to 5.0 and produce a error saying i need to upgrade to a higher version. If i leave 9.0 open then it will default to them without any issue. Is there any regkeys or files in 5.0 or 9.0 i can change so i can set all files to 9.0 Reader?
    I have been told the ticker is only used to link to the files and does not have any code that dictates how the .PDF's open.
    Any adive or ideas would be of great help! :-)

    With Acrobat 7 you can only send out Browser Based Review, (which is replaced by shared reviews in version 9).
    The reviewers will need to open the PDF inside a browser, and have access to the location of the PDF to be reviewed.
    Acrobat 8 can do both types still, have a look here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WSB7237F9D-E90A-4c6 b-8C0D-58C7B2063B1D.html
    And here's a tutorial for those situations whereby reviewers do not have access to the server location of the Reviewed PDF:

  • How do I make Preview the default download and not adobe reader

    Somehow downloads come down as Adobe Reader, not a PDF in Preview.  How do I go back to Preview as the default download reader?

    Select (but don't open) one of the downloaded PDF's and do Command+i to get info. Where it says 'Open with' choose Preview and click on the Change All.. button.

  • Opens pdf with windows media not acrobat reader

    When I try to read PDF files, windows media opens not Acrobat reader, although I have checked acrobat reader to open these files.

    fwiw - A combination of Acrobat / Adobe Reader that are not the same release is not recommended/supported by Adobe.
    As long as you have to use Acrobat 9 it'd be best to stay with Adobe Reader 9.
    Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013 and is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
    Be well...
