How to stop AdobeReader (or Acrobat) to open in Safari?

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.4.5 and Safari 2.0.3. Recently I updated Adobe Reader as well as Acrobat to v. 7.0.7 (On and off I still need them). Before that, when downloading a .PDF, I had set it to be viewed with Preview within Safari. Now it's always Acrobat that opens up within Safari (taking a long time to do so). Unfortunately these Adobe products seem to have overridden my settings. How can I end this unpleasant dominance of Adobe?
If you know how to do this, then you probably also know how to remove .PDF-Maker from Microsoft Office?
Please help.
Thanks

To keep other aplications from launching within Safari, open Safari Preferences (Safari > Preferences; or press command , ), and click the general tab, now click at the bottom the radio button that says "Open Links from Applications:" select "In a new window". This should correct this.
Hope this helps,
Cory

  • HT1349 How to stop spinning color wheel and open macair?

    How to stop spinning color wheel so can open Mac air system?

    Thanks for your suggestions everyone, however....
    I just checked out the activity monitor when FCP was being sluggish. FCP was using only 300mb of real memory, and 1GB of virtual memory, even though there was more or less 1gb of real RAM completely unused. I quit and relaunched FCP, and the sluggishness disappeared. Now it is using 200 odd and 650mb of real and virtual memory respectively, and there's still much the same amount of RAM completely free - this looks like the way FCP genreally behaves, and I have to wonder if the sluggishness has much to do with how much RAM I have - it's not using it all whether it's being sluggish or not. I don't want to spend money on more RAM if I don't need to - is this absolutely definately a RAM issue, seeing as there's still nearly a GB free when it's being sluggish? Or is FCP just using virtual memory when it doesn't have to?
    In the manual it says that the memory & cache settings in system settings maintain the performance of FCP by preventing it from using virual memory unneccesarily. It says that limiting the amount of RAM used helps, which seems counterintuitive, the obvious thing would be to turn it up to full. Can anyone tell me the optimum setting for the memory panel in system settings?

  • How to stop browser and mail applications opening automatically at start up

    Since upgrading to Lion, Firefox, Mail and Hogwasher (a newsreader application) all open automatically when the computer starts up. I don't want or need this to happen but cannot find any way of preventing it. I have checked my user login items, but none of these apps is among those listed. Any suggestions why this is happening and how I can change it?

  • How to stop the Task Pane from opening automatically

    Hi there,
    I use adobe acrobat XI pro to work on lectures and frequently go from the highlit tool to the "adding text" tool in the content modification tool group. Each time i click on the "add text" tool, the tool bar on the right side of the screen or Task Pane pops up, making my document too small to read, and I have to close the task pane each time before being able to write.
    Is there any way to get around that?

    Hey Aadesh, thank you for your answer
    I hope the links for the pictures work, i wasn't quite sure which link to copy.
    as you can see, i work on a small computer, and unfortunately, it makes quite a big difference...

    Clicking on tools it what I do each time, but I would have loved to find a way to be able to write something without having that bar show up... Would you have any idea if this would be possible? For example when you click on the highlight tool, the "comment" task pane does not automatically open, this only happens with the "Tool" task pane.
    Maybe there is a parameter I could apply?

  • How to stop Ad. Reader XI erroneously opening copy of working file on top of original when cursor nears drop down menus, covering them?

    Over the last two days, after opening any document in A R XI, as soon as the cursor nears the drop-down menus, another unwanted copy of the original document opens on top (but slightly offset from) that completely obscures the menu options. The original file is partially visible at the foot of the window but cannot be accessed by clicking.
    On occasion a file opens from new without the drop-down menu options being visible. The above happens when I click in the empty space.
    There have been slight variations of the above problem but at the moment I have not found a way to work with any pdf file
    I can only close the document (and simultaneously the program) via the task bar.
    I replaced the 'troublesome' program with a newly downloaded copy but the problem persists. I have scanned for viruses.
    Any one with similar experiences find a solution?
    Thanks.

  • How to stop the black screen when opening firefox

    When I open a Firefox page it is just a black screen, no URL bar no Back, Forward or Home button nothing appears. After a couple minutes I can mouse over some stuff (mostly the blank spaces where you can enter text) and it will appear, but still can't see the "buttons" or menus (i.e.Internet options). Need to access the internet options to choose no proxy but I can't.

  • How to stop the noisy screen when opening and closing?

    Whenever I open, close or adjust the angle of my laptop screen it makes an annoying creek and click sound. The sound usually varies whether its loud or faint.
    I think it's friction or something. Can I lube it up some way?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • How to stop creating tabs from newly open documents PSE8 Mac?

    I use PSE8 for Mac for scrapbooking.   Sometimes I open all at once a lot of images from Bridge into my workspace so I can manipulate them on a new page.  However, they open as a big tabbed mass onto the workspace.  It is driving me crazy.   Sometimes I can pull them apart and sometimes I can't.  I want them to open as a bunch of floating windows, some of which I will minimize and others I will work with right away.  I want them all to show up in the project bin.  If I go to window -> images -> float all in windows, I've learned that I can separate them.  is there some box to check somewhere so that they don't open as tabs in the first place?
    thank you for your help.
    Hanna

    Hi,
    Instead of reseting your preferences every time you face this, you canjust go to Edit > preferences> select the option : Allow Floating documents in Full edit mode.  With this option selected, you will have all your photos opened as floating windows.
    Cheers ,

  • How to stop automatic date changes when opening an old document?

    I use Pages to create my invoices. The problem I'm having is this:  when there is a question about an invoice and I need to reopen it the date changes from the original date (which I need) to today's date.  I understand why it does this, and I want it to do this when I create the thing, but is there a way to keep it from happening from saved documents?
    As a follow up question:  it must be very simple to find the date the document was created.  Could someone please tell me where to find this?
    Thanks in advance

    You likely put a date stamp on your invoice via the menu hiearchy, Insert > Date & Time. Highlight the date string, then from a right-mouse button menu, choose Edit Date & Time... You will see another pop-up that gives you some control over your newly inserted Date & Time.
