I want PDF files opened by Adobe Acrobat in FF, but FF changes this to other choises

In Firefox I need PDF files to be opened by Adobe Acrobat in FireFox, but for each time I need this I have to configure this again because it is changed to something else, :save or just Adobe Acrobat.

I have used Acrobat 11 on a Macbook Air using both OX X,9 and X.10 without issue. Can I ask which version of Acrobat 11 you are using and what version of OS X? Additionally, are you seeing a freeze or a spinning pizza wheel of death. I have an older machine in which the spinning pizza wheel occurs whenever it feels like and I can wait for minutes before it returns control to me.

  • How to passw protect my pdf files generated by Adobe Acrobat?

    I simply want to passw protect my pdf files generated by Adobe Acrobat. However the option as indicated by the helpdesk is not available in my pdf generator. I am working with apple? Can someone tell me how to pass protect my files?
    Can some one help me out here?

    Hi josr,
    You can password protect your files in Adobe Acrobat by choosing File > Properties when you have the PDF open, and clicking the Security tab. Here is a Help topic that goes into detail: Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords.
    If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try! Feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • 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

    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.

  • Problems with reading a pdf-file using Safari/Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. and Safari in Snow Leopard I open the pdf-file of  http://dare.uva.nl/document/505726 and small boxes appear in the text f.i. on page 70, 74, on the last page etc.
    I don't know why those small boxes appear only on my MacBook Pro with the installed software and others don't read a corrupt text. If I click in den pdf-file on the right side of the mouse and choose "open with Adobe Acrobat Pro" the pdf-file opens correctly (without small boxes)!

    As you discovered, Adobe Acrobat/Pro/Reader v.9 will crash for all managed user accounts that store their home folders on the server because it has "difficulty" reading and writing to a folder across a network, which is why it crashes shortly after it launches.
    HOWEVER, there is hope. All you need to do is tell Adobe to write all of its files to the local drive rather than the home folder on the sharepoint, as follows:
    While logged into your network-user account:
    1. Go to the "Shared" folder on the local drive. (Local HD > Users > Shared)
    2. Create a new folder named "9.0_x86" if you have an Intel or "9.0_ppc" if you have a PPC (without the quotes for either case). You will have to authenticate as an Administrator.
    3. Go to the Acrobat folder within the user's Application Support and delete the folder in it.
    (Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 9.0_x86 or 9.0_ppc)
    4. Open/launch the Terminal application found within the Utilities folder on you Mac.
    (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app)
    5. In Terminal, enter the 1st command for Intel or the 2nd for PPC:
    ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_x86 ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86
    OR
    ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_ppc ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_ppc
    Adobe Acrobat 9 should now work properly. You may get the "quit unexpectedly" error message the first time you quit the application, but should only happen the one time.
    On a side note, the print spool is slow when printing very large multi-paged PDFs.
    This is a fix I found in 2009 by Dennis, can't remember where though.

  • PDF files opens in Adobe Reader  9 but not Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    After one of my users digitally signs a PDF file, and saves it, he cannot open it again.
    He gets either a reference memory error or a Font Capture error.
    I can open the same PDF file with Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.
    If  I take the same file to a system with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - same error on the same file.
    Happens to my administrator account as well.
    Acrobat Pro 9 version: 9.4.1
    Adobe Reader version: 9.4.1
    Acrobat Pro 8 version: 8.2.5
    Windows XP SP3
    IE 7
    Acrobat Pro 9 has been completely uninstalled, the system rebooted, and the software reinstalled.
    Customer's profile has been rebuilt.
    The error message in the event log are:

    So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
    In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
    She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

  • I don't want PDF files openning in Firefox, I want them to open in Adobe Reader

    Both old PDF files that I have saved and new PDF files I have made and downloaded are openning in Firefox. Some people my like that but I don't, please tell me how to shut this off.

    Hello Osprey,
    If you are using Windows, you have to right-click a .pdf file, then click on "open with", here you can choose with which program the PDF files will be automatically opened.
    Another solution is to go in your control panel, then in "Default Programs", you'll be able to do the same. You can refer to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7 this article] .

  • Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

    Hi everyone,
    I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
    Thanks

    I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
    Thanks

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
    There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

  • Will Adobe Reader 11 read older PDF files created in Adobe Acrobat 8?

    Hello,
    I have finally updated my computer & husband computer at home to Adobe Reader 11, but now I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to.
    I scanned some old family pictures using Adobe Acrobat 8 onto CD's, and I used Adobe Reader 8.3.0 to view them.  Now I would ike to know, if the newer Adobe Reader 11 will still read the older pdf files created in acrobat 8?
    If this won't work, then how do I convert the pdf files to jpeg?  I have Microsoft XP Professional onboard our computers.
    My husband does have a Adobe Photoshop onboard his computer.
    Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Maureen

    Adobe Reader XI should be able to view old files as well.

  • PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

    I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet.  The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is  trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17.  I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI.  I did double check for updates on both products and installed them.  Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?  If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Is there any way to reset the file type to "Adobe Acrobat Document" rather than "pdf file"?

    An update from WordPerfect automatically installed Foxit on my computer without warning me.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled CS5 and Acrobat 11 but when I look at a list of files in Windows Explorer, all of my PDF files are simply listed as "PDF file" rather than "Adobe Acrobat Document".  I rely on the Adobe name to get my PDF listed at the top of list of files when I sort by document type for something that I need to do 4 or 5 times a day.  Having it buried under "PDF" is causing lots of errors.
    I've tried searching the registry but can't find anything that would make this change.  I know it's related to the computer because when I use my laptop to view the same folder on the desktop, the laptop shows the files as "Adobe Acrobat Document".  I just don't know where to look to fix this.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    GiGi

    I have already reinstalled both Adobe Reader and the full version of CS5 which includes Adobe Pro.  Neither of those steps worked. 
    Thanks,

  • Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product will enable this?

    Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product do I need to do this?

    Both Acrobat and Reader 10/11 can, and previous versions of Reader can if the document is enabled to allow it. Mobile versions of Reader can too.
