  • 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.

  • How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

    Basic Overview
    I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
    Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
    However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
    At Home
    If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
    At School
    At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
    Question
    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
    I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
    Thanks you to everyone who helps!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player.  So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home?  Flash Player Projector?
    If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

  • Setting Adobe Acrobat as the default viewer of PDF's in Internet explorer rather than Acrobat reader

    I have searched the support for quite a while to no avail with this problem.
    I am trying to view PDF's in Acrobat Professional 9 when I open one from a website for markup purposes such as stamps, etc. For some reason, when I open a PDF in IE7, it opens in the viewer program and none of the markup tools are useable. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have unistalled the viwer software and repaired the Acrobat Pro installation.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    I think this good old tweak from Reinhard Franke still is worth a try:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6778d
    "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
    There you will find the full path to the program IE will use (Acrobat or Reader exe)."
    And study this newer thread too:

  • Adobe Customization Wizard X doesn't set Adobe Reader X to be default when customizing Acrobat X

    I've recently started working with Adobe Customization Wizard X.
    I've got Adobe Reader X customized and it's already installed all computers. Now, I'm working on customizing Adobe Acrobat X. During the customization, I only have the following 2 options:
    1. Installer will decide which product will be the default
    2. Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer
    Choosing the 1st option, makes Acrobat as the default PDF viewer. In other words, I don't get an option to keep Adobe Reader X as the default on the existing computer.
    Found a blog in Adobe site which suggests running Adobe Reader installation again after Acrobat is installed. Although it works, it just isn't a good solution (my opinion).
    http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/03/installing-acrobat-x-and-reader-x-on-the-same- machine.html
    Can you advise what're the registry setting that I can set during the Acrobat X customization so that it doesn't become the default PDF viewer.

    Hi Ben,
    Here's what I am trying to accomplish I had Acrobat Standard v10.1.4 scripted so I can deploy it to a Citrix Server (XENAPP6) via SCCM 2007 I have at least 50 licenses of Acrobat Standard deployed to 50 users. All of our Citrix Servers have Adobe Reader v10.* installed as our default pdf viewer. There are other apps that are deployed to this Citrix Server and I wanted to make sure that pdf files open on Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat Standard.
    I had to change the installer tables directly so I don't have to get it re-scripted to use this command line. Is it a best practice not to change the isntaller table?
    msiexec /i "\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.msi" transforms="\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.mst" LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=”YES” /qb /norestart
    Thanks a lot for your help I'm looking forward to hear from you.
    Regards,
    William

  • How do I set Adobe Reader XI so that a saved pdf will be saved in the last folder saved?

    When I save a group of PDF files, I want them all saved in the same folder.  How do I configure so that each fille will be saved in the last folder that was used to save, rather than having to browse for the save folder each time?

    I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

  • How do you set up captivate 7 as a default program in windows 7

    having trouble opening .cptx files with Captivate 7. Need to know how to get Captivate to be reconized as the default programs for .cptx files.

    Hi,
    ideally, you should be able to do this on Windows 7 from
    1. Start > Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a File Type or protocol with Program.
    2. Then scroll and select .CPTX and click Change Program an click Browse.
    3. Navigate to Adobe Captivate folder at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7\
    4. Select "AdobeCaptivate.exe" and click open.
    5. Now click Ok and check if you see AdobeCaptivate.exe under "Current Default" column on the Set Associations window.
    In case it still does not works, can you please confirm at which of the above steps are you facing an issue.

  • How do I specify Adobe Reader X as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.0

    I have been using Nuance PDF Reader 6 as the PDF plug-in in FireFox, bus since installing FireFox 4, I have experienced issues with the Nuance reader. For example, when displaying a PDF file, the elevator does not work. If I can capture the URL of the PDF, I can open IE8, which defaults to Adobe Reader X as its PDF reader, but I cannot always capture the URL. I would like to switch to the Adobe Reader as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.

    Well, you'd be wrong. Help->About tells me I am using FireFox 4.0. I do not see where I can get the name/version/serial of the PDF reader when I open it in Firefox. At least that's the case with the Nuance reader. Not sure about Adobe Reader X. Oh, and the Nuance reader can be VERY finicky about where you click on the elevator--particularly if the document has a lot of pages, which makes the elevator really tiny. I think some programmer didn't do his homework on how to apply the elevator code.

  • Where on Windows hard drive does Firefox temporarily store PDF files that I open from websites when I have Adobe Reader configured as the default PDF reader?

    I have Windows 7 and Firefox 19.0.2. I see that every time I open a PDF file from a website, it prompts me to either save the file or open it with a program (defaults to Adobe Acrobat Reader). If it is the same file name that I keep opening up over and over, it appends an incremental number to the end of the file name. To me this implies that it is download the file to a temporary location and then opening it in Adobe Reader. Where is Firefox storing these files and how can I be sure that they are being deleted regularly? I don't want these files to be kept on my local hard drive after I close the file in Adobe Acrobat.

    Files that you choose to open with an external program are saved in your temporary folder. To open it, click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar, type '''%TEMP%''' in the search box, then press Enter.<br>
    You can clean out temporary files in Windows using the Disk Cleanup utility. The program can also be scheduled to perform cleaning tasks automatically without prompting.

    That shouldn't be happening. If you try to download a file that's already in your temporary folder, it should simply open instead of being downloaded again.<br>
    I don't know what could be causing it though. First, try upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. If nothing else, your system will no longer be vulnerable to the security holes in the version you're using.

  • Adobe Reader is "forgetting" the last view settings

    Hello, I'm having a small problem with Adobe Reader X. I checked the "Remember last view settings" option, and it's working fine, but the problem is that if I don't open the  document for a few days, the document loses the information about the last page I was on. Is there anything that can be done about this? I'm using Windows 7, but this also happened in Windows XP and with previous versions of Adobe Reader.
    Thank you.

    Are all the PDFs you read from a single source? The document author CAN (but probably shouldn't) override the default zoom, but you might be seeing that and it might be why nobody else is complaining.

  • How do you set a component back to the Default Skin?

    I have a title window and have applied a minimize button
    skin... I need to reset the skin Back to the Default skin.
    Code to skin the button to minimize.
    setStyle ("closeButtonDisabledSkin", MinDisabledSkin);
    setStyle ("closeButtonDownSkin", MinDownSkin);
    setStyle ("closeButtonOverSkin", MinOverSkin);
    setStyle ("closeButtonUpSkin", MinUpSkin);
    How do you reset it to the default close button skin?

    The only way that I've been able to do this is to create your
    own style for the close button state.. Basically create your own
    styles for everything.. because I don't think you can toggle
    between yours and Flex's

  • Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 will not let me see the Download page for FireFox. How do I get around this?

    Even when I copy the http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html url directly to the Windows browser it still will not show the FireFox download links. Has anyone else run into this problem?

    Thanks to whoever posted a reply to someone else telling them to copy the download on another machine to a ubs memory then plug it into the offending machine. It worked!

  • Setting Adobe Reader 9 as default PDF reader for IE7

    Hi,
    I made the mistake of installing Foxit Reader on my new PC and am trying to stop Internet Explorer 7 from using it as the default pdf reader instead of Adobe Reader 9.
    By re-installing Adobe Reader 9 the problem with Windows Explorer using it was solved but Internet Explorer still keeps trying to open PDF files using Foxit Reader.
    When installing the Foxit Suite the installation was not 100% successfull on Windows Vista 64 bit with the Uninstall.exe file not being created and the program not being listed under add/remove programs.
    Does anyone know how to set Adobe Reader 9 as the default PDF reader used by Internet Explorer 7.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Goggs75

    Try repairing / reinstalling the latest version of Adobe 8 / 9 , if this doesn't solve your problem you need to edit the default adobe reader setting in the registry.
    For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
    Go to Start > Run
    Type regedit and click OK.
    Browse to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.
    Make sure that the (Default) value is set for the path where Acrobat or Reader is installed.
    The default path for Reader is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe".
    The default path for Acrobat is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.
