How to get rid of "Acrobat Pro is not currently your default PDF reader"

Hi,
I am testing 3rd party crypto suite integration into Acrobat. Each time I fire it up it pesters me again to set the default PDF handler for OS X to Acrobat Pro which I never, ever want.
Is there any way to get rid of this massage? If not, I'd suggest the decision makers for this suffer from loading an 1000 page+ crypto standard document in Acrobat when it fires up :->
regards,
Tom_E

There should be a check box in the dialog box that you are seeing to set it so that this dialog is not shown again.

Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
My questions:
1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
Thanks so much!!
(More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
Many thanks!

How to Get Rid of the Extra cents left on your gift Card balance?

I would very much like some help on how to get rid of the 65 cents I have left in my itunes account, without having to spend it on something, or make a new account, or contact Apple. Please someone help with this, I'm sure many other are having trouble as well!!!!

I noticed there is an extension which lets you clear the title of the current page or replace it with other text. This seems to work equally well in private and non-private windows, however, it doesn't appear to have an option to automatically do it in all private windows. Maybe someone can add that feature (the author isn't maintaining the add-on any more).

All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW. This is for all of my photos. I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

How to get rid of Acrobat reader (completely)?

Hi,
it's somewhat a stupid question. I got tired of Acrobat reader on x86-64 and decided I would go for the available software on Arch. I uninstalled my bin32-acroread package through yaourt, but after that I still have the option set by default all around my system to open pdf files with Acrobat Reader... How do I get rid of this?
Thanks!

You should set an another application for opening application/pdf files. For example
xdg-mime query default application/pdf
will probably return AdobeReader.desktop as a result which means that application/pdf mimetypes are assigned to Adobe Reader. If you want to change it to evince, for example, you should do something like
xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf
If you do not want evince then you should check for your desired application desktop file under /usr/share/applications.
EDIT: Sorry, too late

How to get rid of message "Backup disk not available"?

I use an external disk for Time Machine.
I switch the disk on every couple of days. In the mean time, I get a warning message every hour that:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup, The backup disk is not available".
How can I get rid of this message? It is really becoming irritating.
Patrick

that kind of beats the purpose of TM backups, which are usually happening on an hourly basis. if you intend to continue this way, you might as well forget about TM and rather create a bootable clone of your startup disk every couple of days. Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper will even allow you to do incremental clones.
another option would be to change the frequency of TM backups using _*Time Machine Editor*_.
happy computing !

Form created in Acrobat Pro 9 not able to open in Reader 8? Help!

I created a form in Acrobat Pro, version 9 and enabled the extended features so that the user in reader is able to save the document after filling it out. The only problem is that it seems that the document can only be opened in Acrobat Reader X because when opened up in earlier versions of Reader, it asks to be upgraded in order to fill in the form. Is there any way of "saving down" the file so that people can view and fill out the form who are using Reader 7 or 8 or 9?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply Torben. When I export the pdf after adjusting the settings in pdf optimizer, I have "discard form fields" unclicked, but it still flattens the form fields and so that was the reason I did not save down and make compatible with version 7 or later.
Any other suggestions? There must be a way to make it compatible while keeping the form fields.?
Thanks in advance!

How to get rid of "Delivery costs have not been cleared" status = MM_EKKO

Hi dear experts,
During pretreatment of MM_EKKO archiving object (TA: SARA), I get an amazing huge amount of PO position which can not be archived due to "*Delivery costs have not been cleared*".
I tried several ways to find out how to solve this issue but without any success.
Point is that we do not clear delivery cost regarding those PO positions, but delivery cost are transfered directly to a global account.
It means that those PO's won't never be cleared.
Any ideas about how I can fix this issue?
Best regards,
Daniel

Yep,
no idea why, but when I uncheck the "Final Invoice" box save and went back into the same PO and check again the same "Final Invoice" box, then, as a miracle, SARA=>MM_EKKO=> Pretreatment knows that this document is cleared and can be archived.
It is just that for now, really old PO's are located in the present residence time
I hope this slyness will help someone else one day.
Regards,
Daniel

How to get rid of: Would You Like To See Your Photos on a Map?

Every single time I edit a photo in Aperture I get this annoying question: "Would you like to see your photos on a map?" Enable GPS tracking - yes or no. How can I get this pop-up screen permanently off of Aperture? Sometimes this causes Aperture to freeze and I have to force quit my computer.

I understand that I can do it manually but am not understanding how I should have answered the startup question.
Just open iPhoto, open the iPhoto preference, then go to the advanced tab. At the bottom of the window is a pull down for "Look Up Place". The start up questions just asked how you want this setting set. You can now use the pull down to change it to "Automatic" instead of Never.
Another place to check in preference is the tab for "Web". There is a check box for "Include location information for published photos". This tells iPhoto if you want the location information included when you upload photos to Flickr or other places that can read and display map info.

How to get rid of timestamp when taking notes in preview?

Hi,
I frequently annotate (using the 'take note' function) when reading pdfs and I would like to get the date and timestamp off of the notes when I am taking them. Is there any setting where I can "disable" the date and timestamp from appearing? So that way, the notes will only have my notes on there and not the date and time at which I took down those notes?
Thank you!
Bryan

you can prevent your name from appearing but not the date (Preview > Preferences > General)
to remove; select the date, time and delete (trebleclick and press delete)

How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

Hi Harry
You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

TS3899 Getting a "background picture of angry birds" in back of my e mail messages...any ideas how to get rid of this? Thanks for your help

All of a sudden I am getting a background picture of angry birds in my e mail. I can view the mail but it is annoying.
I have cleard the history an still it appears. Any ideas on how to get rid of this garbage? Thanks for your help.

Bettina:
Do you see the color in Designer, or only Acrobat. If it's only in Acrobat, try changing the menu item Forms >> Highlight Fields. This toggles entry field highlights on and off.
Mark
You can shut off or change the highlight with this
app.runtimeHighlightColor = color.red;
if (app.runtimeHighlight)
app.runtimeHighlight = false;
