How to open PDFs by default with Adobe Reader?

Hi everybody!!
I used to have Adobe Acrobat but I don't have it any more.
When I had Acrobat the PDFs in my sistem and the PDFs in the web were opened without problems by Acrobat but now I just have Adobe Reader (not Acrobat) and the PDFs in my sistem and on the web are not opened and can't read them...
Even the PDFs in my sistem don't show the PDF icon as when I had Acrobat installed.
What could I do to be able to open PDFs by default with my Adobe Reader?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Right click on a PDF file and select Open with, then select the Always open with button. Search for Adobe Reader and go from there. This is an OS feature, not a Reader feature. For further questions about Reader, check the Reader forum.

How to set PDF file default display size through Report Writter 6i

Anyone could help me, how to setup default display (magnification i.e 100% or 80%) for a pdf file generated by report writter 6i.
Thanks

hi,
regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
In the report you should set the properties like
destype to 'file'
desname to 'path with file name'
desformat to 'pdf'

How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale?

How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale using a MacBook Air? I have gone to "system preferences" and "printers & scanners." However, there is absolutely no option to change the print color scale. I see that option when I go to a document & print, but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing to "gray scale" every time I print. Thanks so much in advance!!

Hi,What operating system you are using? What application you are printing from?

How to set HP 4502 to print black only

How to set my HP4502 to print from Mac in black ink only

Hi @floraoverst,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print in black ink only on your HP Envy 4502 with your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9 Operating system. Please follow the steps listed below:
Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only option
Click File and then click Print.
Make sure your printer is selected.
Verify that the Preset option is set to Standard.
In the Copies & Pages menu, select Select Paper Type / Quality.
NOTE:If this option is not available, click ColorSync. Then click the down arrow beside Quartz Filter and change the setting from None to Black & White.
Select the Paper tab.
From the Color option menu, select Grayscale.
Select the Color Options tab.
Select the Black Print Cartridge Only option.
If that option is not listed, then it is not available. The printer will print using only the black cartridge, however, printing with one cartridge will be slower than printing with both cartridges.
NOTE:To save the setting, click the arrow next to Preset and select Save As. Save the Preset option as Black Cartridge Only and then click OK. Then, the next time you want to print with just the black cartridge, select the Black Cartridge Only Preset. -Source
I hope this helps!

CR XI R2 Sp6 - How do you change the default printer used by the Viewer?

CR XI R2 Sp6
.NET
VS2005, C++
The app selects printer for the job as m_Report->PrintOptions->PrinterName = ss_Device;
This works nicely for printouts to the printer, but is ignored by the viewer. There, the machine default printer is always selected when I hit the print button.
Found this which is sortof similar:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1275149
Is there any way to fix this? If no, then is it fixed in more recent versions of CR?

All of that above can be changed at runtime, but you'd somehow need to figure out what the default printer driver is on each machine and then assign it to the report.
Yes,but that is exactly what I do. The app normally uses the Windows default printer just as any C++/MFC app will do. On the file menu there is an option to select printer which calls CWinApp::OnFilePrintSetup(); which sets the application default printer setup.
In the app there is a function to retrieve the default printer:
CString CLpApp::GetDefaultPrinter()
     PRINTDLG     pd ;
     CString          printer("Failed") ;
     pd.lStructSize = (DWORD)sizeof(PRINTDLG) ;
     BOOL bRet = GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&pd) ;
     if (bRet)
          // protect memory handle with ::GlobalLock and ::GlobalUnlock
          DEVMODE *pDevMode = (DEVMODE*)::GlobalLock(m_hDevMode) ;
          printer = pDevMode->dmDeviceName ;
          ::GlobalUnlock(m_hDevMode) ;
     return printer ;
When I print, I do:
void CSkrivDlg::StartReport(CLpReportJob^ jobb)
     jobb->SelectPrinter("",theApp.GetDefaultPrinter(),"");
     if(m_tillSkrivare)
          jobb->OutputToPrinter(1);
     else
          jobb->OutputToWindow("Fönsternamn", 0, 0, 200, 200, 0, NULL, NULL);
This works correctly for OutputToPrinter(1);, but not for OutputToWindow() which are simply wrappers for the CR functions:
bool CReportJob::OutputToPrinter(int nCopies)
     bool rc = true;
     try
          m_Report->PrintToPrinter(nCopies,true,0,0);
     catch (Exception ^e)
          TRACE("
%s",e->Message);
          m_LastError = e->Message;
          rc = false;
     return rc;
// OutputToWindow()
// a,b,c,d = Fönsterkoordinater eller noll för default
// style = flaggor för fönsterposition
// window = fönster efter vilket vi dyker upp
// child = rapportfönstrets handle om vi vill ha den
bool CReportJob::OutputToWindow(CString Namn, int a, int b, int c, int d, int style, CWnd* window, CWnd **child)
     bool rc = 0;
     CString title="Dummy1";
     title = m_Report->SummaryInfo->ReportTitle;
     CFloaterDlg *Floater = new CFloaterDlg(NULL);               // TODO: Get window
     Floater->Create(IDD_FLOATER_DLG, NULL);
     if(Floater != NULL)
          m_Report->ExportOptions->ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportFormatType::PortableDocFormat;
          Floater->m_Viewer->ReportSource = m_Report;
          Floater->m_Viewer->Zoom(theApp.m_ScreenZoom);
          // Sätt fönsterrubrik från rapporten
          Floater->SetWindowText(title);
          // Puffa på så att den kan ändra storlek på Crystal-kontrollen
          Floater->Size();
          // Visa fönstret om det är stängt
          if(!Floater->IsWindowVisible())
               Floater->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
          rc = true;
          if (child!=NULL) *child=Floater;
     else
          AfxMessageBox("Kunde inte skapa fönster för utskrift",MB_OK);
          rc = false;
     return rc;
Floater is simply a dialog that holds the Viewer control.
For some reason does the Viewer not obey the printer selection done in the report

How to set and save Custom Print Settings in Aperture?

How to set and save Custom Print Settings in Aperture
Hi,
I am printing 12x18" images on 13x19" sheets. I find it difficult to enter the 13x19" dimensions because each value jumps to another random value when I move to enter the second dimension. For instance 13 jumps to, say, 8.5 as I type 19 into the second box. Same with the sheet dimensions.
Also, when I finally get it all correctly, the margins don't set themselves automatically - which I would I expect.
Then, even though I save the setting by clicking Save Setting at the gear below, next time I turn Aperture on, it's all gone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Raphael

For me, it is working with these settings, Raphael.
Does your image have a 12x18" aspect ratio? You may want to crop it to the desired aspect ratio before printing.
I can only test with Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite 10.1.

I've tried everything to get a custom umask set for all apps. It just seems impossible...
Is there a replacement for launchd-user.conf?

Please file a bug report: https://bugreport.apple.com
I am sure this is something that got lost, like environment variables, in the Yosemite/iOS merger.

How to set enable usage rights in adobe reader?

Dear all,
How to set "enable usage rights in adobe reader..." in acrobat sdk?
I did that through menu event but it shows saveAs dialog window.
Please anyone guide how to handle the saveas window. Otherwise if there is any method to directly enable the option.

There is no way to automate this in the Acrobat SDK. If you need to automate Reader Enablement, you need another product – LiveCycle Reader Extension Server.

how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

Reader XI & IE10 - how to force PDF's to be viewed in READER?

I have NO Adobe add-on installed in IE10. Updgraded from Reader 8.1 to Reader XI. Under Reader 8.1 there was an option in settings to force PDF's to be opened in READER instead of IE. Cannot find that option. Went to Settings / Manage-Add-ons to disable Adobe PDF there, but it's not installed, so can't disable it.
Any ideas on how to force PDF's to be opened in READER instead of IE10?
Thanks!

I do not quite understand your initial comment. You write that you do not have the Adobe Reader add-on installed on IE10, yet PDFs open in IE?
See this article how to enable viewing PDFs in a browser; you will have to do it the other way around to see the opposite effect: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

How to set Preview as Default instead of Adobe Reader

How can I set Preview as the default application for PDF files instead of Adobe Reader?

Go to a PDF file and selected it. Either "File"- "Get Info" in the menu bar or press Cmd-I. This will give you a pop up screen where you have an section called "Open with". Go there, select Preview as the application to open the document with, press the "Change All" button and confirm.
