How to set Adobe Reader as default for reading pdfs?

I recently added Adobe photoshop.  Now when I get a PDF attached to an email or the help file in another program it's automatically opened in Adobe Photoshop.  How do I change that to Adobe Reader?

I had MS Word set by Windows 7/64 as .PDF default and could not get any version of Adobe Reader to install as the default.  Adobe support rejected the case Your Case Number:0181940706. After much searching, I found a Windows forum (not in Microsoft) that had the attached tool.  Worked great, all pdf files now have acrord icons and open automagically (sic) with Reader X.
I've attached the link for you.  If Ray at Adobe support reaads this, feel free to share it with your co-workers. The tools can fix a defeult association for any file type.

  • HT2506 how do you set Preview as the default for opening pdf in browser?

    How do I set the Preview application to be the default for viewing PDF's in while in Safari?  Previously, while in Safari and clicking on links to PDF's, they would display with buttons on the bottom that made it simple to view and download the PDF.  Since updating Adobe Reader it seems Reader is now the default application for viewing PDF's accessed from the internet.  I haven't been able to figure out how to revert back to Preview..... 

    I did this and now Safari won't open the form at all.
    I put the files back and it opens in Adobe.
    When I save the files to desktop they open in Preview. But I am trying to read pdf's(? forms) while in Safari.
    Adobe does not work smoothly in Safari and scrolling to read is a nightmare.
    OS X 10.8.5
    This problem came up within the last few months.
    Before everything opened in Preview perfectly.

  • How to set Adobe Reader as the default in Safari 6

    When running 10.6, Safari defaulted to Adobe Reader to open documents not otherwise specified by an extension (e.g., docx).  However, in 10.8 w/ 6.0 the default reader appears to be TextEdit - which returns garbage from my financial instituitions.  I can download the file and then open with AR but how do I set 6.0 to default to AR rather than TextEdit?  I am not given the option to select the program to open with by right/option clicking the file link and I am not sure I want to make AR the default for all .txt files.....

    The plug-in is there - but the default still is textedit..... looking at Adobe's site they had some issues in the past with Lion and Safari 5.1 earlier this year..... maybe a solution is forthcoming from that corner?  However, that was tied to Rosetta sooo.......  I'll cogitate some more but any other ideas are welcome.....  Thanks for your help this evening.....

  • How to set change mode as default for workbench objects

    Hi experts
    I've always wondered if there is a configuration option in NW BW 7 where it can be set whether double clicking a workbench object will show the maintenance screen for that object in change or display mode (default is display). Because is annoying to have to set edit mode every time one double click a workbench object in the development system, and as it is a development system, it would make sense to have edit mode by default instead of display
    I was thinking that it may be related to the client role, but who knows...
    I appreciate your help
    regards

    Not sure where this can be set...if anywhere.
    But how about this for a workaround: Right click the object in RSA1 and the select Change instead of Display.
    That would save you a click if I counted correctly

  • How to set CHAR/BYTE as default for all entities attributes

    Hello,
    We'd like to have a way to set as a preference in the OSDM the Unit CHAR for all attributes who has datatype VARCHAR2 and CHAR, instead of the user have to set it manually for each attribute. Actually the database works or in one way or other. It means that if I have to set the Unit CHAR for one attribute, I'll have to set for all others.
    The preference "Show CHAR/BYTE Unit........." available on the Preferences dialog of the OSDM only show or not the information in the DDL script.
    Thanks
    Nelson

    Hi Nelson,
    The application developer should have only the option to set or not it for whole relational or physical model if the "length semantics" are Byte or Char.If database allow char/byte semantics to be set at column level we should support it. Otherwise you'll come and complain Data Modeler doesn't support it.
    In a real world the developer doesnt have to choose which columns are byte or char, it strictly depends the characteristis of the database defined for the database administrator.This workflow is supported by Data Modeler - you have an option char/byte semantic to be excluded from DDL generation and the setting at database and session level will come into effect when DDl script is executed.

  • How to set PSD as the default for Ctrl-S when saving a layered DNG for the first time?

  • Setting Adobe Reader 9 as default PDF reader for IE7

    Hi,
    I made the mistake of installing Foxit Reader on my new PC and am trying to stop Internet Explorer 7 from using it as the default pdf reader instead of Adobe Reader 9.
    By re-installing Adobe Reader 9 the problem with Windows Explorer using it was solved but Internet Explorer still keeps trying to open PDF files using Foxit Reader.
    When installing the Foxit Suite the installation was not 100% successfull on Windows Vista 64 bit with the Uninstall.exe file not being created and the program not being listed under add/remove programs.
    Does anyone know how to set Adobe Reader 9 as the default PDF reader used by Internet Explorer 7.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Try repairing / reinstalling the latest version of Adobe 8 / 9 , if this doesn't solve your problem you need to edit the default adobe reader setting in the registry.
    For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
    Go to Start > Run
    Type regedit and click OK.
    Browse to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.
    Make sure that the (Default) value is set for the path where Acrobat or Reader is installed.
    The default path for Reader is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe".
    The default path for Acrobat is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus prints emails as landscape only; how to set to A4 as default?

    All of a sudden my printer has set to landscape printing of emails; how to set it portrait as default for printing?

    Hi there @OB1214 , welcome to the forums
    I understand your emails are printing in landscape. If the issue is only when printing emails, there may be a setting within your email settings to change the print settings.
    If all of your programs are printing in landscape, check the print settings on your computer.
    Changing Print Settings in Mac OS X
    Changing Print Settings in Windows 7
    I hope that helps!
    If the problem continues, please let me know the details and also which OS you are running.

  • How do I set Adobe Reader XI so that a saved pdf will be saved in the last folder saved?

    When I save a group of PDF files, I want them all saved in the same folder.  How do I configure so that each fille will be saved in the last folder that was used to save, rather than having to browse for the save folder each time?

    I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

  • How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
    So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

  • How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

    How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

    you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
    In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

  • How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

    There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly.  I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
    How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
    Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App.  Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
    APB

    Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
    What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
    Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
    - Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
      - Touch "Open in..."
      - Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
    We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.
