I WANT to open PDF in Adobe NOT FF but updates force me into FF

My FF decided on 12/1/2012 to open in browser, overriding my settings. No matter what I do, how I change settings, PDFs open in FF. I even totally uninstalled Acrobat 11 and reinstalled Acrobat 10. Still opens in browser (so does that mean it's FF causing the problem?)
My settings in FF were to open in Reader, overridden. Changed to save file. Overriden. No
matter what I do, PDFs open in FF. My settings in FF for years have been to open in Adobe, but now I cannot find the setting!
So now, haha, PDF opens in FF and FLASH is mucked up. So I've increased the problems and
spent an hour and a half. Can you help? What am I (or they) doing wrong?

I solved it as follows:
in Firefox go to Tools at the top of screen
then go to Options in the pull down menu
you will see lists of Contents and Actions
go down Contents to Portable Document Format (PDF)
go to Action column click on it a pull down menu will appear
choose Adobe Reader (default)
that cured the problem for me.

I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

If it is a regular .pdf file, try asking on the Adobe Reader forum.
If it is an Adobe DRM .pdf file, try opening using a copy of Digital Editions authorized with the correct ID the book is licensed to.

How to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

how to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

I've been using a trial of FCP x 10.1.4, went to buy and it's 10.2 - I don't want 10.2 because I'm not running the updated OS. Can't I buy 10.1.4?

I've been using a trial of FCP x 10.1.4, went to buy it and it's trying to sell me 10.2 - I don't want 10.2 because I'm not running the updated OS and don't want to. I have cameras that run off of OS 10.9.5. so need to keep that OS. Is there a way I can just buy the version I used in the 30 day trial (10.1.4)? It runs fine on my current OS.

I'm on latest version of OS X, FCPX, LPX and FCPXML export ingests into LPX just fine.

When I want to open a PDF document The box that pops up asking if I want to open or save does not come up and it always saves. I need this changed.

When the window opens to ask if I want to save or not comes up it does so for WORD documents just fine, however, for PDF documents it never asks (it used to). Now it just automatically saves them without asking. I need this changed. I went into applications and changed the setting to always ask but it still is just saving, them no window pops up asking what I want firefox to do with the file like it does with a WORD document. IF I cannot get this resolved I will not be able to continue using firefox. I teach and I have students submitting articles etc in pdf format, I cannot constantly save all pdf files. I just want to open them, review them and then move on. There must be a way to change this so that the window asking what I want firfox to do with the pdf files opens.
thank you,
kkwright

Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
Many thanks Pitt.

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7

Problems opening PDF in Adobe Reader

When I try to open a PDF using Adobe Reader the Adobe Reader page opens but not my PDF. The computer freezes for a few seconds and then the Sdobe Reader page shuts down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no sucess. If it makes any difference I am using Firefox but I tried Explorer as well with the same result. Please help if you are able.

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe forums.
Are you trying to open the PDF in web browser, or you are trying to open a PDF locally in Adobe Reader application ?
- please save a PDF file locally and then open Adobe Reader to view the PDF file.
Please share the result with me, so that I can help you accordingly.
If you are able to open the PDF file locally, please see the document (to open the PDF file in Web Browsers) : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

Unable to open PDF in Adobe XI

I am unable to open certain PDF files in Adobe XI. We're using Windows 8.1. Any ideas?

Do you get these "certain" pdf's from the same place or is there anything else they may have in common?
Are they on your computer or are you trying to open them from a browser? If a browser, which one? What exactly happens when you try and open them?
And since it's Windows 8 I have to ask whether you are sure that Reader is attempting to open these pdf files and not the built in default windows Reader app?
