How do I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

I have removed Adobe from my Mac, but it is still trying to open pdf files, both in Safari and in Mail. I've removed all of the files using CleanMyMac, so there is nothing left of it.
How can I change the default back to Evernote, or just view pdf in Safari?

Unfortunately, I can't do that as the file I want is coming up with this message: "Please wait...if this message is not replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade or get the latest version of Adobe Reader...etc etc"
I'm also getting this on my Windows XP Computer even when I have Reader installed.
I have already deleted all internet plug ins relating to Adobe in my Library.

  • How do I stop word trying to open pdf docs?

    Word keeps trying top open PDFs. How do I stop it?

    Whoo hoo! That's just what we needed.
    Well, we seem to have confirmed that
    (1) Your DOCX files are opening in Adobe Reader, and
    (2) Your PDF files are opening in Microsoft Word.
    Now, we had a go at fixing this but it seems pretty tangled up. It may be better to just forget double clicking and use File > Open in Word for DOCX files, and File > Open in Adobe Reader for PDF files. If you're having trouble even doing that, let's focus on getting that bit working for you - let us know the problem. 
    (NB Because things are messed up you CANNOT rely on the icon to decide on the type of file. Use Properties to look at the file name or type).

  • Adobe tries to open every file i download how do i stop this?

    adobe tries to open every file i download, how do i stop this?

    This is a file association problem. You can change the files Adobe Acrobat can open, but the method depends upon your version of the operating system. There used to be an entry in the Acrobat/Reader Faq on how to do this.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

    how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

    Hello-
    I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
    To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I stop  Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

    I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
    I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Edit>Preferences
    Under Page Display:
    Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
    Also, under Search:
    Click "Purge Cache Contents"

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically opening .wav files

    I recently arranged to have voicemails to a business number sent to me in the form of .wav files that I check at the end of the day from my home PC. I was disappointed to learn that when I open the email and double click the .wav file it automatically imports it to my music library in iTunes (also selecting to be synched). I am just trying to get these files to open in Quicktime. Any help?

    Can you tell me how? I am having the same issue, but I think mine is opening automatically whenever I download any new music files.

  • How can you disable Adobe Reader from opening a file right after you save it as a pdf?

    Hi,
    I often save word files as pdf files and right after I save them as pdfs it opens the file in adobe reader. How can I disable this?
    Thanks

    Ahh, but that's the design function of any PDF viewer add-on to a browser.
    To avoid -- Use the browser feature that saves a file to the local machine.
    Then open the file with the appropriate application.
    If your machine/device does not support this then you'd want to change to one that supports what you want eh.
    Be well...
