I want to VIEW pdf files when I click on them (NOT save them) WITHOUT being asked everytime. I have already customized my firefox settings.

I have a hotmail email account and each time I click on a pdf attachment, Firefox asks me "What should Firefox do with this file?" I click "Open with - Adobe Reader (default)" then I check-mark "DO THIS AUTOMATICALLY FOR FILES LIKE THIS FROM NOW ON." When I check-mark that box a little line comes up beneath it that says "Settings can be changed using the Applications tab in Firefox's Options." So I also changed my application settings to "PDF - Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox". Even though I have changed the application settings, and have check-marked the little box asking it to open with adobe reader automatically, Firefox still asks me each time I click on a PDF "What should Firefox do with this file". How do I make it stick that every time I click on a pdf attachment I want to VIEW it in Adobe WITHOUT being asked every time? Is there a way? Thank you!!!

Automatic actions are connected to a specific MIME type and if Hotmail doesn't send the file with a correctly recognized MIME type then the automatic action won't work.

  • Simple fix to view pdf files when screen is black. Cannot view pdfs

    My screen is black and I can't view pdf files. Seems like the pdf is working but the screen is black. Does anyone have a simple fix for this?

    Are you using the "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" with Safari? Sine I use Acrobat Pro XI, that's my 'default' PDF reader - you're able to interact with forms - as they were designed - much better in Reader than in Preview. I guess as an AcroForm designer, Preview is a bit of a slap in the face when it comes do viewing well-designed forms and portfolios: I've a 164 element portfolio, for instance, that Reader correct views while Preview tries to unsuccessfully 'preview' 164 pages - not the intended design.
    Anyway, to the OP, I still suggest downloading and installing Reader - it will show forms correctly in Safari and is the 'choice' of AcroForms designers.

  • Problem viewing pdf files when browsing

    Help!  Ever since downloading the lates Adobe and purchasing it, I can't view a pdf file at all from any site without first saving it somewhere.  If I just click on it, it won't open -- it makes me save it to a file first.  That never happened before.  After I download it and save it, then I can view it.  Is there a setting I need to change or something?  Thanks...

    Hi Randy,
    Try this:
    - Quit Safari completely (Safari menu > Quit)
    - Launch the Terminal application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    - Enter the following command and then press return:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool NO
    - Close the Terminal window
    - Restart Safari
    - Try another PDF file and see if they now open in Safari.

  • How can I configure Firefox to prompt me to open or save a PDF file when I click on one instead of just opening it in Acrobat?

    There is a registry key that can be edited to have IE do this. Is there a way to have Firefox pop up a dialog box asking what I want to do with the PDF file?
    Here is the IE registry key:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7]
    "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00

  • Pdf file when made from inDesign is not cutting vector images outside of its windows

    Hello,
    I have a page in illustrator full of vector images. I bring it into InDesign and crop them by putting each piece in it's own window. Then, I make a pdf. When I open the pdf in Illustrator it looks fine but when I hit the preview/artwork option, I can see that all the images from that original Illustrator doc with it. Is there any way to have just the vectors I have revealed through each InDesign window come in? The InDesign Files contains multiple pages and each window contain only ones part of that illustrator file...but all the other pieces in the illustrator file stay outside that cropped area of the window when brought into Illustrator again...anyone know how to avoid this?
    thanks

    I just did a banner for a local plumbing contractor and used InDesign to
    create it. I placed a vector drawing on the banner and masked it off
    using a frame right to the edge of the banner.
    I exported a PDF but the printe came back asking for an Illustrator
    file. Fine, it's just one line of text anyway and the drawing so I open
    it in Illy and it looks fine. Resave and the guy comes back telling me
    that his RIP can't handle the masked image. All I can say is thank
    heavens for the eraser tool in Illustrator. It would have taken me
    forever to fix this with the pen tool.
    So, apparently there are reasons (I didn't see any point in grilling the
    guy about his workflow, it was a one-off and I'll likely never have to
    work with him again) to crop instead of mask. So it's either the eraser
    in Illy or rasterize the thing in Photoshop and crop it there.

  • I recently started getting a popup that says if you want to view pdf files please go to adobe and accept end user agreements-how do i do this?

    i already have the software installed, yet i see nowhere i can accept this agreement and move on?

    Adobe Reader for iOS does not display a user license agreement dialog. It sounds like you have the desktop version of Adobe Reader.

  • How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

    Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
    In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
    So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

    This is also a good site:  http://www.issuu.com/  You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.)  You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there.  Good luck!
