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.

  • How do I make Preview the default instead of Adobe Reader?

    When Adobe Reader is installed it makes itself the default and then doesn't provide you anyway to change it that I know of. I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader but then realized that that is the only way to view PDFs from a web browser and therefore had to reinstall it.

    Find a PDF on your computer...
    Right click it and choose "Get Info".
    Under the "Open with:" section, choose Preview.
    Then click the button below that says "Change All..."
    Now all your PDFs will open with Preview.

  • How to set preview as default pdf viewer from itunes?

    I recently installed acrobat CS3 on my mac and it has taken over the duty of being the default reader anytime i open a pdf. However i must prefer Preview, just because it is a million times faster when all you want to do is view the file.
    I have managed to disable acrobat dominance over pdfs from safari but i cannot seem to find a way to set it so that my music booklets open in preview again and not acrobat.
    Please help, as i have a big presentation tomorrow about podcasting and i wanted to demonstrate the seemless nature of macs!!!!
    cheers

  • How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    Thanks T P I got this from your search:  http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/set-default-pdf-viewer-mac-os-x/
    for others here is the answer.
    If you’ve downloaded Adobe Acrobat on the Mac you’ve probably discovered that it takes overPreview as the default PDF viewer in OS X, which is annoying because Acrobat is slow to load and a fairly bloated application. There’s little need to use Acrobat Reader as the way to view PDF files, so here’s how to change it back to Preview.
    Change the Default PDF Viewer in Mac OS X
    From the Mac OS X desktop, find a PDF file and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the file
    Click on the arrow next to “Open with:” to expand and access the default application list
    Click the pull-down menu and choose “Preview” from the list, or if it’s not visible, navigate to it by choosing “Other”
    With Preview.app selected, click on the “Change All” button
    This will restore the leaner and very capable Preview app as the default PDF viewer in OS X and prevent the lengthy launch of Acrobat anytime a PDF is opened. This tip will be of less use if you need the full functioned Acrobat version, but for the average person just looking to quickly open pdf docs this can be a significant time saver.
    If you want a quick PDF file to use for this tip, you can grab the Apple history book “The Macintosh Way” for free (direct PDF link).

    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.

  • Clicking any pdf link in firefox, opens up ADE instead of Adobe Reader.

    I clicked yes when ADE asked me to open all pdf files in the future like this but i am so fed up as i want to STOP opening ADE and instead want Adobe Reader 9 (9.3.1) to open all my files agian.
    Please help.

    I TRASHED Adobe Reader... where it belongs. Somehow, and sadly, Apple dropped the GET INFO from under the program name, where it had been before. Command I is now short hand for Command Inspector - i.e. no longer Command Info as was in previous versions of OS X.
    So, under Command I, there is no selection to make Preview the Default PDF viewer. How 'bout that? Sad is what I say. I think Apple should be a little weary here, go on Offense, and have an OBVIOUS workout to make Preview, any/all of its programs, the Default program.

  • 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.

  • Default Saving Location Adobe Reader Version 11.0.1

    Default Saving Location Adobe Reader 11.0.1 -
    Since upgrading to Reader XI the default saving location no longer works. So esssentially in previous versions The file path would default to the last place you saved a document, so when saving multiple documents in the one file path it wasn't time consuming.
    Since upgrading it does not do this anymore and you have to select the file saving path each time you open a new PDF, which adds to the time to save multiple documents, so currently I guess it just opens a temporary folder each time you select Save As.
    Can you please advise the setting that needs to be altered to fix this.
    Thanks

    Thank you.  We have tried that but it has not made any difference.  Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.
