How do I set Adobe Reader 9 as the default to open emailed Adobe pdfs?

I have Reader 9, and I used to have Adobe Pro XI but I let the subscription lapse. Now I can't open any Adobe pdfs that are emailed to me and all I see is a messge saying that I need to renew my subscription. Help!

Changing the default application for the OS should also change the file type association for PDF files.
For Windows XP
Start-> Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types
For Windows Vista and Windows 7
Start-> Default Programs-> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
For Windows 8
Start-> type: “Default Programs”-> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
For MAC
Right Click (Ctrl click) on any PDF file -> Get Info -> Change open with.

    Similar problem; but how can I resume opening pdf’s in IE while maintaining the protection benefits of Protected Mode by keeping it enabled (I have not tried disabling it)?
    Need help resolving newly discovered problem wherein all of sudden I can no longer open and display pdf files within IE and but end up with a blank screen [shows blue loading gauge 55.8kb/55.8kb for example doc] unless I down load the pdf file and then open it using Reader XI ver 11.0.2 [Plug-Ins 11.0.01.36] which opens the files just fine. Eventual Error Msg = “There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try attain (103:103)”. Reader Protected Mode: Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with you sys config. Etc. “Do not open with Protected Mode disabled” is selected.

  • Setting Photoshop CS5 as the default for opening all photo files?

    How do I make Photoshop CS5 the default for opening all photo files?

    Close the jpeg in Photoshop! This procedure is done on an unopened (closed) file in the finder, Photoshop is not involved.
    Open a FINDER window, click ONCE to select your file (NOT double click to open it)
    Command I or in the Finder, File menu, select Get Info.
    In the GET INFO window, change the Open With item to Photoshop
    Click the CHANGE ALL button, You will get the warning "This change will apply to all Adobe Photoshop CS5.app documents with extension “.jpg”.
    Click CONTINUE and from now on all jpegs double clicked in the finder will automatically open in Photoshop

  • How to set Adobe Reader as the default in Safari 6

    When running 10.6, Safari defaulted to Adobe Reader to open documents not otherwise specified by an extension (e.g., docx).  However, in 10.8 w/ 6.0 the default reader appears to be TextEdit - which returns garbage from my financial instituitions.  I can download the file and then open with AR but how do I set 6.0 to default to AR rather than TextEdit?  I am not given the option to select the program to open with by right/option clicking the file link and I am not sure I want to make AR the default for all .txt files.....

    The plug-in is there - but the default still is textedit..... looking at Adobe's site they had some issues in the past with Lion and Safari 5.1 earlier this year..... maybe a solution is forthcoming from that corner?  However, that was tied to Rosetta sooo.......  I'll cogitate some more but any other ideas are welcome.....  Thanks for your help this evening.....

  • How do I disable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer?

    I have already set the default application to open PDFs to Preview by using the "Open with..." and "Change All" option.
    Now PDFs open in Preview, but I have a weird side effect:  when I create a PDF (from Microsoft Word, etc.) the document is created with an Adobe Reader ICON, it then quickly changes to a Preview ICON (and opens in Preview).
    PDFs are doing what I want, but the flash of Adobe Reader ICON (pun intended) is quite annoying.  I have searched through the Adobe Reader Preferences and can find nothing that seems related. Any ideas?

    Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

  • I always want google classic, but sometimes i get google beta or google security (or whatever, can't remember its name) when i don't want it. why does this happen and how can i set google classic as the default?

    google is my default on the home page. But when i ask for google or simply open firefox, i sometimes get google beta or google security (or whatever its name is) instead of google classic. I just want google classic. How can i set it as my default. (I have a desk top computer, use firefox, and this never happens.)

    Why Apple can't undo its mistake?
    Whose mistake? The source of the problem:
    I was required to enter my recovery key. Now, there begins that huge flaw. I've forgotten it (I know it was my responsibility to remember it).
    If you had just taken the simple steps of storing your recovery key as Apple tells you to when you set it up, none of this would've happened.
    As it clearly states in the FAQ on 2-step verification: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    After you turn it on, there will be no way for anyone to access and manage your account at My Apple ID other than by using your password, verification codes sent your trusted devices, or your Recovery Key. You must be responsible for:
    Remembering your password.
    Keeping your trusted devices physically secure.
    Keeping your Recovery Key in a safe place.
    If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you could be locked out of your Apple ID account permanently.
    In addition, with two-step verification turned on, only you can reset your password, manage your trusted devices, or create a new recovery key.
    Apple Support can help you with other aspects of your service, but they will not be able to update or recover these three things on your behalf.
    If you aren't responsible enough to do that, you should not have turned the optional security feature on.
    This is your fault, not Apple's.

  • How can I set Paul to be the default TTS voice?

    Is there a way to set a TTS voice as the default so that it is always selected by default as the voice to use? I have all the voices installed and it currently defaults to Bridget - I guess because that is the first voice in the list. I normally use Paul but sometimes others so I want access to all the voices but would like the default to be Paul. I know that once I set Paul for the first slides, it defaults for that project for the rest of the slides, but I have to do this for every project and if I forget to set Paul then I have to go back and redo the slides. It would be nice if I could set the default to the voice I use the most often. I'm using Captivate 7.

    j,
    In the Finder, single-click on any text file, then type command-I (Get Info). You'll see an Open With... menu item. Select Pages from the list (if it's not in the list, navigate to it). Finally, click the Change All button. Use the same process for .doc files. Now, if you double-click on any of these files, it should open in Pages.

  • How do I set Preview to be the default app for opening ALL pdf's?

    I have both Preview and Acrobat Professional on a Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
    I don't see an option if I get info on Preview to set it as the default app for all PDF's.
    Where can I set this?  I only use Acrobat on occasion for form fill-in but prefer to use Preview.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
    How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
    Help!

    Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    8.
    When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
    In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
    So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.
