IBooks is opening all my pdf books in Acrobat proffesional

I know I can change the default program for all of osx, but If I'm storing a pdf file in iBooks. then there's a good chance I don't want to open it in preview or Adobe Acrobat pro.
So my question is to Apple, you guys gonna fix this ?

Even though they aren't purchases from iTunes, as they are in the iBooks app you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
If you want to know where they are then store on your computer then selecting one of them in the Books part of your libray and doing 'get-info' (control-I) should tell you where it is - or you can right-click it in your library and select 'show in explorer' to be taken to it.

How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

Hi,
Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
3. Click on OK.
This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

Cannot open .pdf created by InDesign CS6, can open all other .pdfs

I just got InDesign CS6 at work (I use CC at home, but my company could not afford the CC subscription). I'm on PC with the minimum specs for InDesign and Photoshop Elements (also just installed). I have never been able to print to .pdf from InDesign; the program hangs. I have been doing Export to .pdf, press quality with my printer's specs. This has been working fine, except that, on occasion, I have to export the .pdf a few times to get it to open; it will give me an "either not a supported file or damaged" error message. Up until today, I have been able to export 2-3 times and would always get a .pdf that would open.
As of today, I cannot open any .pdf at all; I get that same "not supported or damaged" error message. However, if I let my computer sit idle for about 30 minutes, it will open. In addition, after exporting, InDesign hangs on a background task of "Export " 5" and I have to close out of that task to do anything further in the program.
I have read the forums on these issues and done what I can: I have installed all updates, backsaved to earlier Acrobat versions, exported to .idml, etc. Nothing helps.
I will confess that I am not the most technically-savvy person by any means. My company is small and does not have an IT person, nor is there a budget for calling someone in, so it is up to me and my admittedly limited understanding of this software to fix this issue.
Help?

You may have shown me part of the problem. I can't share one of the files I'm working on, as they're full of images and we have client protections that make sharing problematic, but I did try to recreate a new file with garbage text and graphics and that .pdf opened without any problem.
Could this be a file size issue? The files I'm working on are only 8,900 kb and 200 kb. That doesn't seem too large to me, but perhaps it's enough to cause a problem on my machine.

Adobe Reader 9.4 has started to open all my PDF documents continuously

Recently, every time I open Adobe Reader, or click on a PDF document on file to open it, Reader starts opening all PDF documents on file continuously until I get a message saying there are too many open documents to open any more. The only way out appears to be use of force quit.
Have I picked up some kind of virus, or is there just a setting that I need to change?

Oddly, it sort of sounds like app behavior under Mac OS X Lion. Lion has a feature called Resume that puts an app that is launched into the state it was in when it last quit. So, if certain documents were open when it last quit, those documents would "resume" (re-open automatically) the next time the app is launched.
Now, your profile info says you have a PowerPC iMac running Leopard (and you are posting the "iMac (PPC)" forum), so this should not apply. But maybe you are running Lion on a newer Mac and your profile info is old. Or maybe Adobe Reader has been updated to have a restore open documents feature. In that case, if you accidentally selected all in a folder full of many PDF files and opened them all, and then you quit Reader in that state, that "state" may have been saved for the next time you launched Reader. By closing each document manually, and then quitting Reader, you changed the state when last quit to having no open documents.
If this happens again (in any app), these commands may be useful to know:
There is usually a Close command under the File menu (in the Menu Bar). If you press the Option key, that command changes to Close All. So if an app unintentionally opens a very large number of windows (and it is not locked up as a result), you can give the Close All command instead of manually closing each window.
In Lion, if you press (and hold) the Shift key while launching an app, the app launches with a "clean slate" (ignoring the state when it last quit). I don't know if that would have worked in your case, but it would have been worth a try. Sorry I did not think of it before; I did not see the possible connection to the Resume feature.

Acrobat Pro opens all my PDFs when starting the program

When I try to open Acrobat Pro to read a document, it instantly opens up every PDF on my computer until I force-quit it. I've tried trashing the Adobe Acrobat preferences and rebooting, but the problem persists.
I'm using a Macintosh with OS 10.5.7. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this? I need to read docs through Acrobat and I can't access them now.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've just spent ages trying to get AppleJack to work on my Mac OS X 10.5.7 and nothing happens. I've installed it twice and the application doesn't show up. I rebooted and held down command and s but still nothing. How do I access it? And since it seems to be more of a developer's tool, will I mess things up since I'm not a developer (or even close)?
Startup or restart in single user mode. Command(Cloverleaf/Apple) key - S
wait for B & W Screen wait till all text load and show a Blinking (Block type) Cursor/prompt. at Prompt type AppleJack.
Follow the directions.
note 3 & 4 are run once for system, and once for each user account.
And make sure you downloaded and installed version for OSX.5

RE-printing a PDF book With Acrobat 9

I have this strange problem. When I print a pdf book as a pdf again (reason I am doing this if because it will give me a page size that will go with the entire book, and as a result, it will be easier to crop the book.), the file size becomes WAY bigger than the original size of the PDF.
This is the basic process when I do the the printing to pdf:
Select ALL the pages in the book.
Go To Print.
Under the Name List, select Adobe PDF.
Click Properties.
On the Layout tab, Click Advanced. Under Paper Size, Select Postscript Custom Paper Size.
Select the Unit (e.g. Millimeter).
Once done, go to the ADOBE PDF Setting tab, and then select Default Setting to Standard.
click all the OKs, until you are ready to print.
I have tried to to look for the answer on other forums, and googling, but no proper explanation or advice.
Thanks

Tried that. That doesnt solve the problem. File is still as big as
hell. Acrobat 8 works like a charm for this process. I even made
screenshot for the 'small size' preset and compared it to Acrobat 9.
Seems the same, so not sure why does it make files bigger. Dont get
started with file optimization because this book im dealing with here
has bad images to any downsizing is going to mess it up. Booya:-@

TS1702 Help ... iBooks ... Unable to open an view my books that i have purchased in the catalogue .ibooks always opening in the section books purchased etc. when I press the button library it is not changing to the catalogue

iBooks opens but not on the catalogue page whereby I can open my books ab read way I have purchased ?

Hi Nitish,
Thanks for your reply. Infact I only coded the event handler. In the first line, I am reading the entity from the collection wrapper of the context node. If it is bound, only then I can set it in EDIT mode.
ob_entity ?= me->typed_context->notes->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF ob_entity IS BOUND.
Sets the view in EDIT mode
Now, ob_entity is null if there is initially no data in the notes section of the confirmed account. However, if notes is not empty, then, ob_entity is bound and I can set the view to edit mode. This is the issue.
Regards,
Naren

Uh-oh, Acrobat Pro 9 opens all recent pdfs automatically!

For some reason Acrobat now wants to open every pdf in my recent history folder when the application opens. Since I work with large print files, this 'feature' locks up my 6GB of RAM quickly enough to bring my computer to its knees in a matter of seconds.
I'm running Windows 7 x64, but I had this happen to me on my Windows XP workstation a few months ago. I ended up reinstalling the program to fix it, but does anybody have an idea of what causes this or if there is a registry edit I can make to delete my pdf history?
Thank you, you smart, sexy people.

Anton,
I to had this problem just today and could not find any good help on file associations. I am running XP Pro on Windows. I uninstalled CS2 and still had CS3 on the computer. All associations for InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop went away. The only information I could find did not work.
This is what I did and it worked. I opened Control Panel, then File Options, and then the tab "File Types". I scrolled to the INDD extension and highlighted it. Then I chose the Advanced Tab, selected "new", typed in "Open" for the action and selected the InDesign.exe file. All Indd files associated with InDesign CS3.
I also repeated the same to get the AI and PSD files to associate.
I hope this is the right way to make the change, no guarantees, but so far it is working. Even CS and CS2 file versions show the CS3 logo and open correctly.

Acrobat 9 Trying to open all my PDFs at once

I've been using Acrobat 9 everyday for a coupel years. All of a sudden when I try to open a PDF Acrobat9 tries to open seemingly hundreds of PDFs until I get an error that a maximum number of files allowed to be opened has been reached. Then My computer freezes up and I can't do anything. I got around the issue by uninstalling and re-installing it, but I'd like to know how to prevent or stop this from happening in the future.

If, contrary to what your profile shows, you're running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the shift key while launching the application.

Cannot open digitally signed PDF's with Acrobat but can with Reader.

My users have PDF files that have been digitally signed by other users.
When opening these files with Adobe Acrobat Pro, it crashes the application.- a generic referenced memory error on some systems, a DDE server error on others, or a font capture error on others - not sure why the discrepancy there.
The files can be opened with Adobe Reader with no error.
We are at Acrobat 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4.5
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9 and verified the same result with Pro 9.0 so it isn't the version or an update.
I have verified this on multiple machines. - I have even installed both pro and reader on one machine and verified that I could open the PDF file with Reader but not Acrobat Pro.
We can open other PDF files with no problem.
I have tried disabling as much of the security options as possible but still get the same result.
If I clear the PDF file fields (including the signatures) in Adobe Reader then it can be opened in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Does Acrobat Pro authenticate the digital signatures differently than Adobe Reader?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi J.O.S.,
Regarding your question "Does Acrobat Pro authenticate the digital signatures differently than Adobe Reader" the short answer is no.
However, there are other things that Acrobat can do with a file that Reader cannot, so there could be an operation that Acrobat is trying to execute (other than signature validation) which is causing the crash. You don't see it in Reader because Reader doesn't know how to do whatever the offending operation is.
That said, can you send me the file that is crashing Acrobat to [email protected] and I'll see if I can figure out what is amiss.
Thanks,
Steve

How to automatically view all attached pdfs in an Acrobat form?

Hi!
I use an Adobe form that collates many different PDFs attached to various links within the form. When final review is required, I can (within that single form) click on each individual link, launching the attached PDF in a separate window. However, this is cumbersome and error prone (for example, a user might not see one of the buttons to click). I would like to generate a view where all the attached PDFs are displayed in continuous fashion, preferably right after the page where they were attached.
When this form is finally submitted, such a view is generated, so I know it is possible. However, it would be ideal to be able to review it in this format before it is submitted at all.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Link to the form is attached.

I tried another look but couldn't figure it out...but my javascript isn't fantastic. I looked at the example form that I think you got the code from and it works fine when Reader extended.
Here's a couple of links to tutorials from WindJack Solutions on the Acrobat User Community site - the first one should help alot, it shows how to do what I was mentioning above about putting all your code in one spot and using one table.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

When you open a mac pdf file in Acrobat 9.5 and add pages where can you see the new file size?

This isn't known until you actually save the file. The size will also depend on how you save.
File > Save - always bigger, nothing ever deleted
File > Save as - dead stuff removed
File > Save as with Fast Web View (may be default) - duplicate backgrouds combined, but extra information added for web view
So, save it, then use command+D to get info.
