How do I reinstate Preview to open PDFs from my Bank?

How do I have Preview open PDFs that come from my Bank?

If you mean within the Safari browser :
Use Finder - Go menu - Go to Folder & paste in the following, including the initial /
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go, then in the Finder window that opens, select any files named Adobe Reader... or PDF... & trash them.
You may want to make a backup , or drag copies to the Desktop first, in case you want to restore the Adobe plug-in later. A few organisations produce PDF's that will only open properly with Adobe software

How do I set Preview to open pdf files

when I try to open a pdf file in safari 6, I get an error telling me to accept the end user license for adobe acrobat. Why?

You should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.
To get Preview to open PDF files:
Highlight the PDF file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select Preview open the file.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

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 can i set Adobe to open pdf from a secure website in the browser, it just pops up and asks to open save or download. we want it to just open the PDF directly in the browser with no popups, using IE 11

Hi,
We are running Internet explorer 11 with the latest version of Adobe Reader.
have found when users login to a secure website and it has pdf links on there, it doesnt open these pdf directly in the browser, it wants to save them and then open them.
is there anything we can change to allow them to be opened directly in the browser?
Thanks,
Cam

When I open a pdf, it used to open in Preview. Now my iMac requires Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview. How can I make my iMac open pdf in Preview again?

When I open a pdf, it used to open in Preview. Now my iMac requires Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview. How can I make my iMac open pdf in Preview again?

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.

Force preview to open pdfs in thumbnails

How can I force Preview to open its Sidebar in thumbnails firnat so I can go through my PDFs better?
Thank you.
Roxy

Hi Jose,
In Preview, I went to Preferences then clicked on "PDF". I enabled "Always show sidebar" and now PDF's either open with Thumbnails, or a Table of Contents, on the left column. I suppose it depends on the PDF and how it was created but for me this is acceptable. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.2.

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.

How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe???

How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe and not in the browser?

You need Acrobat Reader as a Safari plug in.

Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem. Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)? If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

Unable to open pdf from some particular shared folder which is not in domain

Encountered a strange issue here.
We have copuple of users who login with Citrix session.
They are able to open pdf from all the shared folders but not one which is not in domain.
User are able to open all other files viz. doc, excel, notepad and so from that particular folder.
Issue with all the pdf files and not only one particular file.
Double clicking the pdf file starts the process AcroRd32.exe but the file does not open.
If an already running AcroRd32.exe process is there (means if Adobe Reader is already open), then it's possible to open the pdf files from that folder.
Moreover, came across one strange thing.
I created a shortcut to one of the pdf file from that folder within the same folder.
And it was possible to open pdf file from that shortcut but not directly :S
Gives error: "Acrobat failed to connect DDE server" after about 20 mins if we try to open file directly.
Googled a bit and found that issue can be resolved by navigating to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application and changing the Key "AcroviewA10" to "AcroviewR10
But when I navigated to the mentioned registry there was no AcroviewA10 but instead it was just Acroview.
Adobe Reader version: 9.5.5
I will be really grateful if somebody can provide solution for this.

What happens when you open the Adobe app, then tell it to open the file?
How big are the attachments? There are limitations to the size allowed to be sent:
Email Provider
Size Limit
Gmail
25Mb
Outlook
20Mb
Yahoo
25Mb
Are you sending the files to yourself? Not sure how you are emailing files from a website...
Are the PDF's password-protected, or some kind of copyrighted eBook perhaps? Can you email other files successfully, or are PDF's the only files that don't work?
Perhaps using a free Cloud service as an intermediary might work better.

Acrobat reader XI cannot open pdfs from IE9

My pc has IE9, windows 7. After I installed Acrobat reader XI, I can no longer open pdfs from a secure website. Can anyone help?

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?

// I got this from an Action (I�m using Struts)
java.sql.Blob file=(java.sql.Blob)request.getAttribute("PDFfile");
String filename=(String)request.getAttribute("filename");
try{
int iLength = (int)(file.length());
response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\""+filename+"\"");
response.setHeader("Expires","0");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

}and now it�s running !!! I�m not using response.setContentType(...) and I do this in response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf").

Safari hijacked by Adobe Reader - cant open pdfs from Safari

I would greatly appreciate any help cant seem to find this exact problem elsewhere.
I have a Macpro (new tower) running 10.9.4
A few days ago I received an email from a trusted friend which included a link. I followed the link which asked me to download Adobe Reader which i foolishly did. Since then when I try to open a PDF from Safari I get the following message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser"
Please note I can still open PDFs from the Finder and other browser's (e.g. Opera) also allow me to download
I went to the Adobe site and downloaded Reader but it wont let me complete the installation. I fear my Mac has been infected by a trojan etc and can't seem to find out how to get around this.
So far I have tried
1) went to /Library/Internet Plug-ins - but nothing there
2) reinstall of Mavericks
Any help appreciated. I suppose a clean reinstall would help but don't want to do that just yet

Open a Finder Window.
Click on the Go in the menu bar.
Press on option on the keyboard, "Library" will appear. Click on that.
In the new Finder Window that it opens up, or the one that you have opened already. It'll show that particular folder. In that folder is Internet Plug-ins.
Check to see if Adobe is in there. If so, delete it and reboot.
I honestly thought it was in the same folder that you tried, but I don't remember at the moment. So my instructions are just a shot in the dark.
