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.

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

  • How do I install Adobe REader? Their instructions for Firefox say to "Click on the 'Edit Options' button in the yellow bar at the top" but there is no yellow bar or 'Edit Options' button.

    How do I download Adobe Reader 9 in Firefox? Their instructions say to begin by clicking on the 'Edit Options' button on the yellow bar at the top. I have no such bar or button on my Firefox start page.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == About 1/2 hour ago.

    The instructions on the Adobe site are outdated and do no longer apply to current Firefox versions and you can ignore those instructions and save the Adobe installer to your desktop and start the installation with a double-click on that file.

  • How do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?????

    how do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?

    I don't know if this will work; it will certainly not create a "portable" Adobe Reader.
    But it may install on the flash driver, to be used only on the computer that installed it.
    Download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    On the Reader setup panel, click on 'Change Destination Folder' and select your flash drive.
    Let us know how that goes; I am curious...

  • How do I  transfer adobe reader from a desk top computer to a laptop

    how do i transfer adobe reader from my desk top to a new lap top?

    You move it as you would move any other data files or documents; nothing special about PDF files.
    Easiest way is to copy them to a memory stick.
    Another way is to upload them to Files or Workspaces at Acrobat.com

    Are you trying to print to a PDF from Adobe Reader?
    If so, you need Acrobat for that. Reader doesn't not install a PDF printer.

  • How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

    How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

    CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe doesn't provide support for. But, I did find the following on their website:
    "Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
    You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15."
    Here's a link to their website:
    CutePDF :: Product :: CutePDF Writer
    So, it looks like it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript file to PDF.
    Best,

    How do I "Launch" Adobe Reader in order to accept the Terms and Conditions in order to view PDF documents? ....Somers  I'm using a MAC with up to date software.

    Launching is just the normal word in Apple's word for "run an app". You can launch an app from the Applications folder, or in recent versions of Mac OS using the LaunchPad (rocket icon). You can't assume all your apps appear on the dock (bottom strip), it's only the ones Apple put there or you added.
