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.....

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".

How to set InDesign CS5 as the default in the system having InDesign CS4 has the default ?

How to set InDesign CS5 as the default .indd application when you have InDesign CS4 and CS5 installed and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 was installed after CS5 installation)

Thanks, but I already tried it at first but it is not the effective method.
I think its because of the this reason :
Both - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named as "indesign.exe".
Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a Windows default path for the "indesign.exe". In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which was directing InDesign CS5's "indesign.exe" was replaced by InDesign CS4's "indesign.exe".
But after long google and search through regedit, I've got the solution :
Locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
Change the value of (Default) attribute to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\InDesign.exe" "%1" // Include the quotes

Set Adobe Reader 9 as Default pdf Opener

New laptop. I have Adobe Acrobat 5 and Adobe Reader 9 installed. Need the 5 because it has Acrobat Distiller.

Working in Microsoft Windows environment.
How can I set version 9 as the default to open web files?

Windows 7, 64 bit won't allow me to set Adobe Reader X as default for PDF file

By right clicking a pdf file I can choose Adobe Reader as opposed to MS word, but the box to set default won't accept check mark to set this for all pdf. Therefore, when I click a pdf without saving to documents first and using open with, the click notes a WAB file error regarding parameters ect. There must be a fix for this that I am not aware of.

I have no idea what check box you are talking about or how you are trying to open a PDF. This is not the Reader forum where you should be asking this question. However, to set Reader as the default, you should be able to right click on the PDF and select open with, select Reader, and then check the box to always use this application to open a PDF.

How to set a Photoshop version the default application when two versions are installed?

I have two versions of photoshop installed on my Mac. Double clicking on the Photo in Bridge CS6, the photo is opened in Photoshop CS5 (Photoshop CS5 (default). Haw can I set Photoshop CS6 as the default application?

Thanks for your prompt replay, I had already done what you suggested, but it does not work. When you open in Bridge File>Open with you still see Photoshop CS5 (default) and the file is opened automatically with Photoshop CS5 and not CS6 unless you specifically choose Open with Photoshop CS6. I vaguely remember that I found once somewhere "would you like Photoshop xxx to be your default option? but I cannot remember where and I cannot find it anymore

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.

How do I disable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer?

I have already set the default application to open PDFs to Preview by using the "Open with..." and "Change All" option.
Now PDFs open in Preview, but I have a weird side effect: when I create a PDF (from Microsoft Word, etc.) the document is created with an Adobe Reader ICON, it then quickly changes to a Preview ICON (and opens in Preview).
PDFs are doing what I want, but the flash of Adobe Reader ICON (pun intended) is quite annoying. I have searched through the Adobe Reader Preferences and can find nothing that seems related. Any ideas?

Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

How to install Adobe Reader on the D drive?

I have to install the Adobe Reader program on a disk D, but I have not asked, and they set it on the C drive. How to solve this problem?
Message was edited by: BENQ LSDM 19\"W T91W 5MS S

You should be able to select a custom location on the second install page by hitting the "Change" button. Still, some components will always end up on your system root drive. It's inevitable and for Reader the difference would be minor....
