InDesign wants to open in Acrobat Reader--please help!

I am new to this forum...I have Adobe Master Collection CS 5.5. When I try to open an InDesign CS 5.5 document--from a folder for example, it tries to open up in Acrobat Reader which it can't do. I have to launch InDesign and open the document up with File/Open. Bridge gives me the same thing--wanting to open with Acrobat Reader. In my earlier version CS 3, I could click on an ID file and both the file and program would open. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it!

Hi Bob,
I'm also forced to open my .indd files from the file menu, otherwise they
open in Acrobat, and yes, I did uninstall CS3 after I installed CS4 because
I didn't want to be stuck with nothing in case CS4 failed to install.
So what can I do now, please?
Thanks,
Susan
Best thing would be to uninstall and reinstall. Personally, I'd reinstall both versions (in order). There is no need to uninstall older versions from a compatibility standpoint, and if you need to edit a legacy file you may find you want CS3. If you uninstalled to save some drive space, odds are good it's time to think about installing a larger hard drive anyway. It's your data files, not applications, that eat up the dirve space in a hurry.

Problem with adobe acrobat/reader - please help!

Hello,
My acrobat reader was fine and I was able to open the pdf files sent to me, then suddenly it just wouldn't open anything at all. It went into open mode and just stayed there, and wouldn't let me close it. Then I got a message saying "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. Please exit and try again". I've done this lots of times and it still isn't working.
I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions. I have windows 7, and as I said its all been fine up until now.
Thanks.
mspryce.

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. You should check the reader forum. In the meantime, if you are not running AR9.3 or so, you should update. Prior versions before 9 are not designed for Win7 and that might be your issue -- you gave no indication of version.

Are you mixing Adobe Acrobat with the Adobe Reader?
If you have Acrobat on your computer you need to associate PDFs with Reader to open in it.
You also need to get the latest security patches for Reader.

"open in preview" leads to open in acrobat reader

I deleted the plug-in in library-> internet plug-ins, undid the automatic launch thingy n acrobat reader - did not help. any suggestions? cheers

HI,
You can select a specific application to open a document. Do this if you prefer using a certain application or if you don’t have the application that was used to create the document.
To change the application that opens a document:
Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
Click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
Choose an application from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different application.
If you want to use that application to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same application, click Change All.
If you want to open a document in a different application without changing the application that normally opens it, Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the application you want to use. You can also drag the document to the application’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.

Since Lion doesn't support Power PC... how do I open Adobe acrobat reader?

I'm trying to open Adobe Acrobat Reader to download something from the internet, and discovered for the first time that I can't because Power PC is no longer supported by Apple..(whatever that is????) I don't know what to do. Can someone help. Thank you sgarbo

power pc is an old cpu type made by ibm that apple used to put in their rather old macs
if you downloaded an acrobat reader which require power pc then you downloaded the wrong! and possible dangerous version of acrobat reader download the correct one if you must from adobes site
but osx support displaying pdf files without you installing that program
which along with Java are the biggests caused of insucrity in private computers there are apple and windows alike

Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

Hello AKA_TG,
There are manuals installed on your PC. You can find them at
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\manuals
Hope this helps.
But of course these do not include anything like a complete set of manuals like in the 'old' days'. The only included manuals of much help to a beginner are the getting started and quick reference manuals.
AKA_TG,
If you want a hardcopy, your only real option is to do a print of the LabVIEW Help. I have not done a print in a long while. What I tend to do is look at the release and upgrade notes to see what has changed and then look it up in the Help. I'll also open any new examples with Context Help turned on.

Why is print in grey and PDF not a saving option for only one of my photoshop files? All other files I open are fine. Please help!

I am trying to turn a photoshop document in to a pdf. Print is in grey and under Save As PDF is not an option. Any other PS document I open allows me both options. What is wrong with this document?!
What I have tried and was unsuccessful:
I changed it to illustrator and saved as PDF but the colors were very dark.
I have renamed it and opened again.
I duplicated the layers to another doc.
Closed PS and opened it again.
Please help. Thanks!

Here is what I see...
It is in RGB color / 32 bits/channel
Any suggestions?
