How do I set "US letter" as my default paper size when I open a document?

I'm using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 and Mac OS 10.7.5.
Every time I open a PDF that's been emailed to me, Reader thinks it's US legal size, 11" x 14". Printing the document becomes a mess, unless I first remember to go File > Page setup > Paper size > US letter.
I'd like to be able to set US letter as my default paper size when I open a document. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance,

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.

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

  • How can I set or reset the page that is loaded when I open a new tab using Ctrl t ?? by

    I recently downloaded a program that has, as an undesired additional action, apprently setup Yahoo as the page that opens by default when I open a new tab using <Ctrl> <t> (or the <+> symbol on the tab bar). This is aggravating to me, particularly as I have not been able to find a way to stop it occurring.
    I expect that it is buried somewhere in my profile, but I also have not found a way to explore or edit the contents of my profile.
    There is a JScript script file called "user" in ...\profiles\4g4vpust.default that I suspect is associated with the behaviour, but renaming it achieved nothing.
    Prior to this, my new tabs used to open as blank pages, i.e. did not load any URL and I was happy with that. How can I get back to that state?

    Did it add the freeze net assistant add-on? That add-on is known to do this. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it Firefox should revert to the default behavior.
    If you do not have that add-on, another add-on will be causing this, you can use the procedure in the following link to identify what one - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

    Windows: Shift + Ctrl + Alt
    Mac: Shift + Command + Option
    Hold down the above keyboard combinations while starting photoshop.
    You will be asked if you want to reset preferences -answer yes.

    Try unlocking the auto-rotation.  Go to your multitasking bar (double tap Home button), then swipe from left to right.  There should be a symbol there that looks like a circular arrow with a lock in there.  See if it's 'locked'.

    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.

  • How do I change the default paper size for printing?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2 weeks ago

    In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
    "about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
    "paper_size" gives a few results
    What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
    paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

  • How do I change the paper size in an existing Pages document?

    How do I change the paper size on an existing Pages document?

    So are your text box set to floating? You can tell that by looking in the Inspector>Wrap Tab when you select the text box.
    If I had to guess I would say that the text boxes are floating and when you change the size of paper the text that you have in the main body area is shrinking so that it does require as many pages and you are losing the text boxes at the end. Is that correct? If so, they are still there, you just have to add page breaks to get to the pages that you lost and you should see them again.
