How to make .pdf's open in Reader and NOT Photoshop

I am using Adobe Reader X, v 10.1.1 with Vista. I also have Adobe Photoshop installed. When I try to open a .pdf file, it automatically opens in Photoshop instead of Reader. Is there a setting I can change somewhere to ensure that pdf's automatically open in Reader instead?
Thanks!

If you are using Windows XP. you can do the following (any other OS will probably be similar).
Highlight a PDF on your drive. Right-click, choose "Open with>Chose program". Select Reader then click the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."

Way to force .pdf to open in Reader and not in browser

I saw where there was an Acrobat action called
Convert PDF2FDF auto-save Action on the AcrobatUsers.com Action Exchange.
which didn't work, it came in corrupted and unusable. Does anyone know of an action or anything that will force a .pdf hosted online to open in the visitor's Reader program and NOT the browser they are in...? No matter what browser.
Any help you can give me with this is appreciated. Looking for a consistent user experience here where they can fill in the information on the pdf form, save it and email it without too much hoopla.
I am really surprised after all of the work I've put into this that this is not something that is more easily accomplished, but perhaps I am doing something wrong or don't have enough information.
Thanks!
Ruth

Actions can be tricky, Are you aware that the method of encoding Actions or Batch Processes changed between versions 9 and 10 and again between 10 and XI?
What version of Acrobat are you using?

Opening files in Reader and not Photoshop

How do I default pdf files to open in Reader instead of Photoshop?

You could try if reinstalling or repairing Reader fixes the problem; [Adobe Reader | Help | Repair Adobe Reader Installation].
Manually changing the file association is done by right-clicking on a PDF file, Open With, then select Adobe Reader.

Reg key to set PDF opening in Reader and not the web browser

Is there a reg key which would apply to all users/computer (not just current user, Hkey_user) to set a variable that would open PDF's in the actual Adobe Reader program and not in a web browser.
I only find references to reg key's that apply to the current users logged in, but unfortunately I work in an education facility and we use Dynamic user id's which creates a new user each time in windows, and then removes the profile on logout
Thanks in advance,

Would you suggest downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard and creating an MST file to distribute the app? If so, do you have documentation on where to change this setting?

.pdf will open in Reader, but not Adobe Acrobat 8.0

I have a large document that was created in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and apparently the file was damaged (it's also 4.5 GB). I can open it in Adobe Reader 9, but when I try to open it in Acrobat, it shuts the program down and there is no history of it being opened. I've tried opening it back up in Acrobat 6.0, but it says the file is damaged. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to remake the document?

I do not know how you created the PDF. You might try going back and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Open AA6 and then select the file that way. Does this work?

Open Adobe Reader and not Acrobat in browser

I just installed the now freelaý available Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and in my browers PDF files are now opened in that one.
But I intend to use it only for editing PDFs. Since it is not the newest version, I would for security reasons prefer to have Adobe Reader open PDFs in my browsers, since it will always be the newest version.
How can I keep Acrobat and still have the Reader open the files?
A plugin or some setting?

It IS now freely available FROM ADOBE: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ , with serial number and all! And it was activated by Adobe after I installed it! No crack, no hack... (At least this is available in Europe, maybe not in the US?.)
But plesae advice how I can make Reader (latest version) open in the browser instead of Acrobat. There will surely be a way, such as, maybe, a change in the Registry,
In the Reader, there is an option Edit > Preferences > Internet, but it now points to Acrobat...
In Acrobat there is a similar option where I can mark "Display PDF in browser". It makes no difference if I mark or unmark it.
Normally, the Reader should have this option, too, but it has now been hijacked by Acrobat.
There must be a way, please tell me...

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

How to make pdfs above 8MB open in browser?

Pdfs whose size is below 8MB open in the browser while those above 8MB open in an Acrobat window. How to make pdfs irrespective of their size open in the browser window only?

I've installed the Adobe Reader Plug In. Yet every time I click to see a PDF, it opens another browser and it is blank. The Browser reads about:blank. How can I fix this so that PDF's open in the browser?

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

An other way is to copy the pdf with Windows explorer into the path /documents of the phone. Open Office and choose Adobe Reader. The pdf will be copyed in the Sandbox of the Reader and You may read it. You may delete the PDF in the documents path. It will still be in the Readers sandbox. All without any cloud ;-)!

I am running cs4 suite in Mountain Lion and when I make PDF's, Helvetica Neue regular and bold both appear as squares. Any ideas on how to fix this??

Firstly you have to be very careful as these fonts are system fonts and are critical to the operating system.
I'm no expert I just followed the advice in this link.

It worked for me and now the font works in illustrator without converting to paths before creating pdfs.
Hope this helps...
