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 set Safari to open multiple tabs when I open Safari?

I was able to set multiple tabs to open when I open Safari in the past. However, I do not know how to do so now.
Help!

Hello sgertel,
It sounds like you are asking about the OS X feature called Resume to have previous opened windows re-open when you launch Safari.
Automatically re-open windows, apps, and documents on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Lion v10.7 and later include Resume, a feature that lets you re-open apps in the same state they were in when you last left them. For example, when you quit Safari, any webpages you're viewing are fully restored the next time you open Safari.
Is this not working for you? Another thing I use is common folders in the Favorites bar where I can "Open in Tabs" at the bottom of the list.
Take care,
Nubz

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

How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
Select the "Open With" Box
Change it to "Preview"
Then select the box just beneath it
"Change All."
This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application? The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application? The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work

How do I get Safari to open in Preview?

I am using Safari 5.0.5; have downloaded Adobe latest version; checked on Adobe preferences/internet to use Adobe. But from Safari PDF files will not open. Get a black screen with no content. How do I get Preview to open PDFs from Safari and thereby avoid this problem. Interesting issue -- this only occurs on iMac with Snow Leopard; my MacBook Air, not using Snow Leopard, opens Adobe from Safari.
Cheers,

Hi
If you want pdf's opening in Safari, using the built-in support (not Adobe) then quit open browsers, go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & remove any 'pdf' plugins. Occasionally, they're in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
If you really want Adobe to do it in browser, and the plugin is in place already - try opening Safari in 32 bit mode. Command-click it in the dock, then File-Get Info, & check the 32 bit box. Takes effect the next time Safari is started up.

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?

"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 set Safari to prompt me to choose a filename when downloading?

I can't figure this out at all. How do I set Safari to give me a dialog box in which I can choose my own filename when downloadiing a file? Right now, as soon as I click "download linked file" it just puts the files straight on my desktop with whatever filename was assigned to it.
This will help me identify files as I often download files saved with numerical names.

ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
Hope this helps!

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.
