How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

Thanks T P I got this from your search: http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/set-default-pdf-viewer-mac-os-x/
for others here is the answer.
If you’ve downloaded Adobe Acrobat on the Mac you’ve probably discovered that it takes overPreview as the default PDF viewer in OS X, which is annoying because Acrobat is slow to load and a fairly bloated application. There’s little need to use Acrobat Reader as the way to view PDF files, so here’s how to change it back to Preview.
Change the Default PDF Viewer in Mac OS X
From the Mac OS X desktop, find a PDF file and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the file
Click on the arrow next to “Open with:” to expand and access the default application list
Click the pull-down menu and choose “Preview” from the list, or if it’s not visible, navigate to it by choosing “Other”
With Preview.app selected, click on the “Change All” button
This will restore the leaner and very capable Preview app as the default PDF viewer in OS X and prevent the lengthy launch of Acrobat anytime a PDF is opened. This tip will be of less use if you need the full functioned Acrobat version, but for the average person just looking to quickly open pdf docs this can be a significant time saver.
If you want a quick PDF file to use for this tip, you can grab the Apple history book “The Macintosh Way” for free (direct PDF link).

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.
thanks

How to set Preview as Default instead of Adobe Reader

How can I set Preview as the default application for PDF files instead of Adobe Reader?

Go to a PDF file and selected it. Either "File"- "Get Info" in the menu bar or press Cmd-I. This will give you a pop up screen where you have an section called "Open with". Go there, select Preview as the application to open the document with, press the "Change All" button and confirm.

How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri. If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface. Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed. Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

Hi Bill,
There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
And here's one way to create a global function:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
console.log('myGlobalFunction');
Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();

Hello LindaLamb:
First thing is connect your coex TV Anti cable to your computer the end connector looks like a bolt. Then open up Windows Media Center go down the list to live tv and follow and fill in your information with wizard . If your computer doesn't have an built in TV Tunner then you will need to purchase an USB TV tunner. http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=usb+tv+tunner&qpvt=usb+tv+tunner&FORM=HURE . frrw

How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

Something like this, Ive thrown in an ImageIcon on a
button too for good measure.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JFrameImage extends JFrame {
public JFrameImage() {
Container c    = getContentPane();
JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
             public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
ImageIcon img = new
= new ImageIcon("background.jpg");
                  g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
                  super.paintComponent(g);
        panel.setOpaque(false);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("onButton.jpg");
JButton button = new JButton(icon);
panel.add(button);
c.add(panel);
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrameImage frame = new JFrameImage();
frame.setSize(200,200);
frame.setVisible(true);
Going totally fancy pants
ImageIcon bigImage = new ImageIcon(bgImage.getImage().getScaledInstance(getWidth(), getHeight(),Image.SCALE_REPLICATE));
g.drawImage(bigImage.getImage(), 0, 0, this); Will scale the image to the size of the panel
whereas
for (int y = 0; y < getHeight(); y = y + image.getHeight(null))
for (int x = 0; x< getWidth(); x = x + image.getWidth(null))
g.drawImage(image, x, y, this); Will give a tiled effect
Try tiling with an animated gif and bring your processor to a standstill.

How do I set a limit to the number of registrants to an event form?

How do I set a limit to the number of registrants filling out an event form?

PLEASE add this feature. as far as I can tell there are no option out there that serve this need. FormAssembly, EmailMeForm, or FormsCentral. Think of how many customers would use this. Imagine a t-shirt company that pre-prints inventory, wouldn't they want to limit how many forms could be submitted that want a size L shirt? My business is participant based, like the evnt question above we need to limit the number of participants. Of course I could program my own solution, but then I would miss out on all the other cool FormsCentral features. Any chance this could be added right away if I sponsored it as a custom development?

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.
