I have downloaded adobe pro XI, but when I open a pdf (in or out of Endnote) it still defaults to adobe reader

How do I get my pdfs to open in adobe pro and not reader, including in endnote?

Hi Canuck,
To make Adobe Acrobat XI the default viewer for viewing PDF files, follow these steps:
1. Right-Click on any PDF file.
2. From the menu that appears, Select Open With -> Choose Program
3. Now browse and select Adobe Acrobat X from the available programs
4. Check the Check box present at the bottom of the list that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and press OK.
The default PDF viewer should change for you. If you need further assistance in this regard, browser to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859.
Do let me know if this information helped you.
Regards,
~Pranav

    1)Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and look for file named hosts inside etc folder.
    2)Copy the hosts file to Desktop and open the same with notepad.
    Check with the hosts file entries , let me know if there are any Adobe entries like 127.0.01 xxx.,adobe.com .activate.adobe.com....etc?
    If there are no Adobe entries in Hosts file .
    If you wish , you may uinstall and reinstall the app .
    You may try below steps :
    Open Control Panel and Navigate to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features .
    Under Program and Features list, locate Adobe Creative Cloud and uninstall it.

    Open Adobe folder and if present delete Adobe Creative Cloud folder.
    Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.
    Type in below command and hit 'Enter' key.

    Delete it from your device by holding your finger on it until it starts to shake, then hit the little cross to remove it.
    After that download it again from the AppStore, you can do that for free:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Have CC programs installed already, but when I open Creative Cloud app Manager it only shows CS6?

    Have CC programs installed already, but when I open Creative Cloud app Manager it only shows CS6?

    OK thanks - I tried that, would not let me remove the OPM.db file as in solution 2, i uninstalled CS6 versions, i uninstalled Creative Cloud desktop app and then downloaded latest and installed - however, with continual workload, I am not about to remove all Adobe software as suggested in Solution 4!  Even in the Creative Cloud app where it shows install new apps, there are only CS6 versions showing?
    I have just uninstalled creative cloud app manager again - go to download latest version and the message is - we are currently experiencing problems, please try again later.

  • Ive downloaded and installed Adobe Pro XI but can't open it. What do I need to do?

    I have downloaded and installed the trial for Adobe Pro XI on my Macbook Pro. Its on my desktop.
    I can see it, but when I try to open, all i get is a list of files and the option to EJECT!
    What do I need to do to get the program to open? I need to extract data from a PDF into Excel - which looks straightforward enough, if I can ever get the program open!

    Hi Dorothea,
    Please ensure that you are logged in to your system as administrator and anti-virus is disabled.
    Once you click to download Acrobat trial version, 'Adobe Download Assistant' application will start downloading.
    Then, run the application and then sign up with your Adobe ID credentials to download Acrobat pro XI from the available list of products.
    Let me know if you still face the problem and share the screenshot of the message.
    Hope to get your response.

  • I have downloaded the free trial but when I try to open Adobe Illustrator it just opens a web page with tutorials.

    Hello, I have successfully downloaded Creative Cloud and from there downloaded AI but when I try to open it all that happens is a webpage opens with three tutorials.   The program itself doesn't open.
    Any help would be much appreciated. 
    Many thanks.
    Sarah

    I hope you don't mind but I have added an image as I'm not very technical. 
    I have downloaded Creative Cloud and you can see that I have downloaded AI or so I thought.  When I try to open it I just get taken to the web page shown with the tutorials.  There is a download option in the top right hand corner and when I select that it just opens up creative cloud again. 
    I am sure I am doing something that makes me a complete idiot but I am not sure what else to do. 
    Thanks for your response.

  • I have downloaded the latest firefox but when I download addons it says the browser is still old.

    I have downloaded the latest firefox (3.6). But when I tried to download certain add ons and even when I go to Youtube it tells me that my browser is out of date. When I click 'About', my version of Firefox is 3.6.6 but it also says 'Firefox/2.0.0.9;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0'. Why is that?
