Is It Possible to Change The Default Browser to Open Links in Reader?

Hi,
Does anybody know if it's possible to change the browser that opens links in Adobe Reader? Currently, as I click on a link Internet Explorer starts up by default. Can I change it to another browser?
Thanks

Not Adobe Reader related but I'd like to add the following:
To set firefox as default browser
Firefox: Tools - Options - Advanced - General (tab) - System Defaults - click Check Now (button) and click Yes when prompted.

Is it possible to change the default URL when creating new hyperlinks?

I'm currently working to take a 128 page catalog that was created in InDesign for print and turn it into a interactive PDF to post on our companies website. The catalog contains thousands of part numbers and I'd like to link each one to its corresponding stock status page on our website that gives current availability and pricing for any particular customer.
So say I'm dealing with part number "XXXX". When I go to add the hyperlink the default web address it spits out is " http://XXXX ". Instead of that, would it be possible to change the default to " http://forums.adobe.com/discussion/XXXX/1 ". Obviously I just used this website as an example, but it would save so much time if I could avoid having to type the exact same URL every time.
Or maybe is there a quicker way to do this other than what I am currently trying?
Thanks

I've found some external software applications that will do it, so that leads me to believe its not possible within ID CC.

Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?

Hi
Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?
We have Apple Remote desktop and network home folders with managed prefs but i don't seem to be able to use either of these to change the default language of all of our macs to "British English".
is there a UNIX command that can do this?

The simple way is via the Internationalization settings via ARD or RDP or Screen Sharing, either via System Preferences or (if enabled) via the menu bar. If you're looking for a lower-level approach, there's not AFAIK a direct command for this. As for one possible approach, might [threadID=2106201|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2106201] help?

Possible to change the default spool request title ?

Hello,
I'm SAP Basis guy, I've been asked by our functional team if it would be possible to change the default spool request title.
Our endusers have access to transaction SP01, where every morning, they can see the spools request that have been generated during the execution of night batches.
Currently, the default spool name is displayed :
Title or name of spool request LIST1S LOCL ZREPORTSUFFIX (in transactions sm37 and sp01)
Is it possible to change the default name of this spool request with some abap coding ?
Thank you.

hi,
goto transaction SPAD and change the default values as you require but i doubt whether you would be able to change the spool title after the job has been triggered i think it is nt possible
but for further requests you can change it from SPAD

How do I change the default browser

Can anyone tell me how I change the default browser which is invoked when I run a web application from Jdev3.1(under NT 4.0). When I run main.jsp from the JDev interface, it invokes IE 5.5. But, I want it to invoke and the application on Netscape 4.6. I don't know if it's the NT registry, but I wanted to make sure w/the experts before I temper w/the registry settings.
Thanks!

Alan,
You got me started on this.
Unfortunately, IE also messed up my browser,
HTM file descriptions (MS...HTML...)
and the HTML file icons and ...
Any how, I also want to make Netscape my default, so I searched and I found this:

This is as simple as it gets.

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

How do I change the default application to open files.

I am rather new to Mac OS (using Leopard). I am rather frustrated, that I have not been able to find a way to change the default application that opens PDF files. I looked around the System Prefernces, couldn't find it, searched the Web, nothing. And I could not find an answer in this forum either.
So here is my question. How do I change the default application for opening PDF files from Preview to Adobe Reader? I do not want to have to click "open with" every time, I want to open a PDF file.
And how do I do this for other files also? For instance, I may want to open images files with Photoshop instead of Preview.

Hey ! I was going mad with the same question - and I'm not a complete newbie - so thanks to William for answering it - I knew I'd seen that dialog somewhere, but just couldn't find it. Text edit was driving me crazy telling me that .ppt files were screwed, now I've got em to open with Powerpoint...
In answer to your last question, Craig, the dialog that appears to ask if you're sure specifically says the change will relate to all .pdf files ( or .ppt or .whatever ), so it won't stop Preview from opening other types of files.
Thanks for the help - searched Apple support in vain on this one...

How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)?

How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)? When I do what Apple said and go to a Pages file in finder and select "get info" then select "Pages 4.3" and "change all" it just defaults to the new one even though I'd selected the old one. Do I need to completely uninstall the new version of Pages or is there another work around because the new version of Pages comes dreadfully short of the features I need that are included in the old one?

Eric Kraft wrote:
HOWEVER, if you modified a document in 5.0, 4.3 can't open it. You'll have to use Time Machine to replace the modified version with an earlier version that was last modified in 4.3.
Actually there is a workaround.
If you open the file in Pages 5, it can then be exported on Pages 0.9 format to another folder. I had to do this as the document was only in iCloud and couldn't be recoverd by Time Machine.
Worked for me!

How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
Any advice?
Thanks,
John

Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

Cannot change the default program to open a specific file type.

Whenever I attempt to change the default program to open a file, it automatically reverts to whatever was selected previously.
I work with a lot of .ai files and my default Illustrator version is set to Creative Cloud. CC crashes constatnly on my machine, however CS6 runs smooth as silk. I'd like to be able to double click an .ai file and have it open in CS6, not CC. When I right click > Get Info > Open with and change it, it reverts as soon as I click "Change all..."
This isn't a huge deal... only takes a few seconds out of my day but it isn't something I should have to worry about.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I just successfully changed on my .docx to open into Pages. I went the same route that you mentioned... Right click---> Get Info---> Open With and changed it to Pages. When I clicked Change All, a dialog came up asking me if I am sure that I want to change all of my .docx to open in Pages. I click accept and tested it. Now my .docx open in Pages.
So my question is, is your issue just applying to .ai files? Or is affecting other files, such as .docx? If it's just affecting .ai files, then there maybe an underlying reason for that. And it may not be able to be changed.
Just a thought.

Change the default program to open a document?

Howdy,
Is there anyway to change the default program to open a .doc file?

I can't seem to find a post with a solution to this problem. I guess I'm not figuring out the correct search term(s) to use.
Could be launch services is corrupt and needs to be rebuilt. The usual symptom is double entries in the right context "open with" menu, not the inability to change the default application, but it might be it. Open the Terminal application and copy/paste one of the following commands into it and hit return. I think the first one is the one you want; the second may be for Lion/Mtn Lion.
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fram ework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
