How do I select which pdf reader to open on line docs

I have both Foxit Reader and an old version of Acrobat Pro 6. I am setup to have Foxit open all pdf files. However when there is a pdf that is in the browser Acrobat 6 is automatically selected to open the doc by FireFox and I get the message to update the application. I do not want to update because it very rarely use it. I only use it to edit older pdf files on occasion.
How can I force FireFox to use Foxit Reader to open the online pdf's.
Currently when this happens I have to open a Chrome browser to view the on line doc and this is a big pain in the butt.

Hello MrMortgage, see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#os=winxp&browser=fx18 Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file], see also : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/set-how-firefox-handles-different-file-types#os=winxp&browser=fx18 Set how Firefox handles different types of files]
thank you

  • How do I Select which email account to view?

    I have two email accounts set up on my iPad how do I select which to view? If I just touch the mail icon it goes straight to the exchange account each time and does not let me choose the other account that is set up

    To view a different account in the Mail app tap the email account name at the top left of the Inbox, then tap Mailboxes at the top of the folder selection window, and you should then be able to select a different email account and navigate down into it's folders

  • How will use Select-Options in Read table Concept.

    Hi All,
                  How will use Select-Options in Read table. For  example,
          Select-Options : test for bseg-prctr.
           Select * from bseg into table ITAB.
    Read table ITAB with key prctr in test.
    Last line is showing error. If any way to read ITAB as conditions given per select options.
    Thankx Advance,,,

    HI,
    you cannot use " IN " with read statement , read statement is used as:
    READ TABLE it_collect  ASSIGNING <fs_collect>
                      WITH KEY   rbpl = <fs_wkdet>-arbpl
                                 ufnr = <fs_wkdet>-aufnr.
    anyways you can use  loop at statement before read to use  " into "  statement as:
    LOOP AT it_master INTO l_master
                                           WHERE werks       = l_werks
    hope it will help you
    regards

    Could you please let me know if you are using the latest patch of Adobe Reader i.e. 11.0.10
    Try disabling 'Enable Protected Mode' option under Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) and check if all the markups appear.

  • How can I keep emails and read later when off line please

    How can I keep email to read later when off line please

    I'm not sure how it works on your iPad, but once the email has been downloaded onto my iPad, I can read them even in Airplane mode with WiFi disabled. I don't see the images that are in the emails, but I can read the messages. I have one POP account and three IMAP accounts and it works for all four accounts.

  • When select for PDF reader to use automatically to open PDF files I still get the window every time I want to download a PDF file. How to prevent stopping this.

    Even when I highlighted in a seperate window that I want PDF open automatically with the PDF reader I always get this confirmation window to choose from. Is there a way to stop getting this confirmation window ?
    To perform a test I had with IE browser that by default selected PDF reader it does not ask me each time which option to choose from.

    Could you indicate what you have selected here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type pdf and wait for the list to be filtered. On the right side, what do you have selected in the drop-downs? Do any of them behave the way you want?
    If the problem only occurs on certain sites, it's possible that the site sending a generic content-type header rather than a pdf-specific content-type header. Firefox doesn't look at the file extension to decide which program to use in that case, it simply lets you choose.

  • I have a lot of movies on my itunes library,when I sync my ipad2, how can I select which movies to load on the ipad?

    How do I choose which movies to load into my ipad from my itunes library? Seems like everytime I sync, it loads up all the movies I have in my itunes library.

    When connected to your computer's iTunes, select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on its films/movies tab just select the films that you want to sync and then click the Sync button at the bottom.

  • How to disable Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader in Safari

    How do I disable Adobe Acrobat Reader to prevent Safari from using it to open PDFs? I have Safari 7.0.5, OS X v10.9.4. FYI, there is nothing in my User> HD> Library> Internet Plugins folder. And I've already right clicked on a PDF in Finder and selected the option to always use Preview to open PDFs. But Safari still opens PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Thanks

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • How do I get a PDF reader onto my PowerBook 2400c?

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to get a PDF reader onto my old powerbook which is running OS 8.1.
    It can't connect to the internet, and doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, but it does have a floppy drive.
    My desktop computer (a swivel iMac) also has a floppy drive and is running OX 10.3.9.
    The problem is that Acrobat can't fit on a floppy, and I have no idea if there's anyway to seperate the Acrobat installer among several floppies and install it.
    Thanks!!

  • How can I select which iPhone my mac will select to place cellular calls?

    Hi,
    I have two iPhones connected to my Apple ID with lines from two countries as I travel often. When I receive calls on any of those, I can pick up the call from my mac. But when I want to make a call from the address book on the mac for example, then the call goes through the line that was selected by FaceTime on my Mac. It does not seem to matter which phone is on, on, the other or both, or which physical iPhone I use: what seems to matter is the simcard, i.e. the calls always go through the same number. I would need to be able to select which line I use depending on where I am. I tried signing off FaceTime on both phones and mac to no avail. When I turn them back on, in whichever order, FaceTime always picks the same one (and shows this as the Caller ID that will be displayed in the Mac FaceTime preferences...
    Ideally, I should be able to select the line in the same way I can select which caller ID I want to start conversations in FaceTime or iMessage but thus does not seem to be implemented. yet?

    Have you tried changing the caller id on FaceTime on your Mac to see if it picks the other phone?  Seems to me that what you'll have to do is change the caller id each time you want to make a call from each phone.

  • How can you select which pictures to upload from camera? plus facebook ?

    Is there any way to select which pictures from your digital camera you would like to upload on to iphoto? Or is the only way to upload all of the pictures on your camera? I have 214 pictures on my camera and 210 of them are already in iphoto...i only want to upload the new 4!
    Another question..
    I am trying to upload my pictures on to Facebook, and they are significantly smaller than the pictures I uploaded via my PC. How can I get them to upload at normal size?
    THANKS!

    Re: the FaceBook problem
    This sounds like you're uploading the Thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the pics in the iPhoto Window not the pics themselves. Have you been uploading from the Data folder in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
