I WANT Acrobat 8.1 as my default viewer

I have an application for Acrobat Pro that uses application level java scripts. The documents that I work with come from Internet submissions. I would like to be able to open these documents from the web browser automatically (without having to save them and then open them in Adobe).
It is important that all pdf files open in this manner, not just files that currently reside on disk.
Help please and thank you.

Hi Ed,
You haven't mentioned what you have tried, so assuming you haven't done this, open Adobe Reader and in it's Preferences, go to the Internet section and enable the option for Adobe Reader to handle PDF files in your browser (I forget the exact text but it's something similar).

  • Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

    All,
    I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's.  Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google.  The browser displayed the following error:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please exit and try again."
    So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
    The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat.  The installation must have changed the default viewer.  So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat.  I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..."  This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
    I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0.  But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
    Does Acrobat function independently of Reader?  Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly?  Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Neal

    They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

  • How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
    So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

  • Keeping Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as the Default .PDF viewer

    Ok,
    So with all the new vulnerabilities with Adobe reader, our company is try to stay with the current updates of Adobe Reader.  The problem I am running into with patching all the workstations is that we have a large user community that uses Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as their default .pdf viewer etc. When patching all workstations with the latest Adobe Reader it changes the default to Reader.
    Has anyone had this issues? Or is there away to keep Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the default when upgrading the Reader?
    I'm thinking of removing Reader all together on the workstations that have Pro.
    Thanks

    That is the Adobe recommended and supported setup.
    Too many problems arise when you have those two Adobe products on the same machine.

  • HT4897 I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?

    I'm trying to make iCloud mail my primary email but I'm concerned that I may have lost the perfect email address forever.

    I have the same problem. After our wedding I've created an alias ([email protected]) to my actual AppleID Account ([email protected]). Now I'd the idea to delete the alias and my actual AppleID to create a new AppleID with ([email protected]).
    Is there really no possibilty to do this?
    Thanks in advance for quick and positive feedback.

  • Using OSX 10.9.4 and want to have photoshop as my default for photos instead of Preview. Any suggestions?

    Using OSX 10.9.4 and want to have photoshop as my default for photos instead of Preview. Any suggestions?

    In the Mac Finder, select the icon of any of your photo files and do a Get Info (Command i) on it. Then select the application you want to open your photo files, then Click on Change All.
    You'll need to do this once for an icon of each file type, i.e. one on a JPEG file, one on a TIFF, one for PSD, one for raw files, etc.

  • I want Acrobat Reader, NOT Preview

    Since I recently formated my PB and reinstalled OS10.3.9, downloaded pdfs are opening in Preview, not Acrobat Reader. I've set Reader's "Internet" preferences to open pdfs, but Preview still insists on opening downloaded pdfs. I really, really, really want Acrobat Reader, NOT Preview. What do I do?

    When you download a pdf file to your desktop, hightlight it and go 'file>get info'. click on 'open with' and change from application 'preview' to application 'Acrobat Reader',then click on the button underneath 'use this application to open all documents like this'. Any problems, post back.

  • I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

    hi,
    i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
    in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
    when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem? 
    your help is appreciated.

    Liu,
       As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
    or.
       <u>Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.</u>
