How to get Adobe Reader to open IE 8 pdf(s) over Adobe Acrobat???

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 installed on my Windows 7 32 computer.  I also have Adobe Reader 10 installed.  Everything was working fine until recently and after using the Acrobat 8 to edit some documents, I could no longer open a pdf. in Internet Explorer 8.   If I try to view a PDF in Internet Explorer 8, I get the message that Adobe that's open can't read the file. 

So do I need to remove Acrobat 8?  That program was so expensive and has created one nightmare after another.  I can't afford to replace it butseems I can't afford to use it either (if I can't do my online research).  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks for responding!

  • How to get Adobe Acrobat to find scanner?

    Acrobat > "create PDF from scanner" used to bring up an Epson driver for my Perfection 1640 SU and all was well. For some reason the driver disappeared and now Acrobat finds no scanner at all. I downloaded a new 10.6 scanner from Epson but the scanner still doesn't show in Acrobat's dialog box.
    I tried preview but it scans to only 1-page documents, which I can then stitch together with Acrobat; however, a 5-page B&W document done this way is 25 megs, unacceptably large.
    How do I either get Acrobat to see the scanner, or, alternatively, get Preview to do some useful work? Thanks.

  • How to get adobe acrobat to shell menu

    I have acrobat 9.  when installed on a previous computer, I had several choices for using acrobat on the normal right click menu (create a pdf, join multiple files in  pdf, etc.).
    after installing on  a new computer I don't have these options.  How can I get those acrobat functions included as choices when I right click on a file?
    thanks

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How to get Adobe 8 to read entries from Adobe 6

    Some forms that my company uses was created in Adobe version 8. Some employees using adobe pro 6 ignored the message that states "The forms being used were created in a later version of adobe and you need to upgrade to a later version of adobe" and still went ahead and edited the forms with the adobe pro 6.
    Now that everyone is on adobe pro 8 the forms are all showing up blank.
    the information entered using adobe 6 to edit adobe 8 forms are all blank.
    Does anyone have any idea how can recover the information or how to get adobe version 8 to read the entries from version 6.
    Thanks
    Al

    Chances are they did not actually save the entries in AA6. When you open an AA8 document in AA6, you can not edit the document. That may be the issue, not that the made changes (not realizing they were not changed). This could have been avoided if the AA8 folks had saved the form in an AA6 compatible way (Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer). However, some of the functionality might have been lost with the backward save.
    Assuming you still have AA6 on some machine, try to read them and see if the stuff is there that you are talking about. I doubt that the changes are there.

  • Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

    Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
    I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
    Thanks!

    Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
    Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

    John,
    You're wrong, please stop spreading mis-information.
    I have a brand new Galaxy Note 2, which came out after the iPhone 5, it's running the newest android OS 4.1.1 which also came out after the iPhone 5, and I just went to Adobe's website and downloaded Flash just fine.
    No tricks, nothing special, just clicked the download link, installed it, went to put locker and started wtaching "TED". Just like I do on my mac.
    Look I even took screen shots of the entire process...

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

        created by Dave Merchant in Acrobat Windows - View the full discussion
    A particular PDF file can have fonts embedded within it, or may refer to fonts installed in the operating system - but in either case it uses the Postscript name of the font, not the common name seen on menus. This ensures that when fonts are substituted or edits are made to the PDF file, the correct version and vendor are matched, not just the common name. Postscript names are unique, and often end with the initials of the vendor (LT = Linotype, MT = Monotype, etc.). "Times" on a font menu refers to the Linotype font "Times-Roman" (sold by Adobe and others), and "Times New Roman" refers to the Monotype font usually named "TimesNewRomanPSMT" (a Postscript font in a TrueType package, which is part of the standard set on Windows). They look the same from a distance, but internally they are different enough that a direct replacement is not normally possible. If you ever need to work out which has been used and cannot inspect the metadata, look very closely at the number "5" - in the Linotype font it has a tiny serif on the top right corner.  Embedding a font into a file has no effect on Acrobat whatsoever (lisabritne, what you're saying makes no sense).
