Make adobe reader default in IE8 only?

I use two PDF programs for work, PDFXChange and Adobe Reader 9.3.  I want PDFXChange to be the default program on my computer, but when I'm using IE8, I want the default to be Adobe 9.3.  Is that possible?  As far as I can tell, the only way IE8 opens programs is by using the global system's defaults through the control panel.
Grrr....

This might be due to obsolete registry keys left. Also did you remove PDF Converter Professional from your COMPUTER.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader default pdf viewer?

    When I click on a pdf link, Firefox gives an error that it can't find PDF Converter Professional 7.0.
    I've ensured Options|Applications links "Adobe Acrobat Document" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Forefox)", I've deleted the PDF Converter Professional plug-in -- but makes no difference.

  • How to disable pop up Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Application in registry

    Hi
    I am wondering if there is a registry setting that can disable the pop-up Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Application ?
    I have seen there is a setting under Edit\Preferences\General\"Tell me if Adobe Reader is not my default PDF Application" but cannot find a registry setting to disable this. This message pops up for some users in a remote desktop session host environment even though I have disabled the messages on the session hosts.
    Thanks,

  • How do I make Adobe Reader my default PDF reader ?

    Hi im trying to open PDF  a file from a website , but unable as it has to be adobe viewer how can I make adobe my default reader ?
    Thanks Davie

    Davie,
    My question would be why would you want to have Acrobat as the default view? Preview comes with OS X and opens PDF documents just fine. However if you must then select any pdf on the computer then type Command I (I as in Ivan) to get the information window on the document. Next chose Adobe View under Open With and click Change All.

  • How do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file

    how do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file?

    What is your current default?  If Adobe Acrobat (X or XI), you can set it in your preferences.
    If it's another program, reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will set it to the default program.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader my default PDF app.?

    Hey everybody. I haven't been around lately. Hope all are well!
    I'm trying to figure out how to make Adobe the default PDF viewer instead of Preview.
    Any ideas?
    I posted this in the Panther room, but figured I'd get a quicker response here!

    Thanks Allan.
    Good to see the usual gang is still here. Sorry for being such a stranger. I'll try and stick my head in a little more often.
    I'm still using my old beige with all the ease in the world. It's like nothing ever goes wrong anymore. I did have a little directory clutter not long ago that even gave Disk Warrior a hard time, but I prevailed in the end! This machine is so awesome.
    I never did make it out west. Right as I was ready to do it, gas went to $3.00 a gal. That killed that idea. Maybe sometime soon.
    Take care, Al

  • How do I make Adobe Reader X my default PDF Reader (over Nitro)?

    How do I make Adobe Reader X my defaulf PDF reader (over Nitro)?

    Very helpful, slight change, after right clicking PDF causing list of possible programs, go to    Open With, then when the list comes up do not click on desired program, scan down to the bottom of pop up menu to Choose program, right click that causing another menu "Open with" window, then selectr Adobe from the list and also click the box to the left of "Always use this selected program to open this kind of file", and then click OK. 
    These variations may be due to different versions of Windows - I have XP SP3.  I consider that ~graffiti deserves 10 points for his answer!!!  I worked for teo days trying to fix thi so I can doemload legal files from PACER without having to pay their fees for my case files.

  • 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.

  • I cannot make Adobe Reader open on my laptop.

    I installed Adobe Reader XI but it would not work.  I have windows 7.  I then uninstalled it and installed X which didn't work so I tried 9.  How do I make Adobe Reader work on my laptop?  It just opens a greyed out window and then closes again.

    If neither of the versions work, then you have a serious systemic issue, which could be some security tool preventing Reader from loading "evil" PDFs and connecting to ther Internet, missing or revoked security certificates or a bad graphics driver wreaking havoc with the hardware accelerated display functions. Impossible to tell anything more based on your sparse info, but it's most almost definitely not something that Adobe can fix for you. You will have to dig into the depths of your system.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader NOT my default program for reading pdf files?

    I installed Adobe Reader and made it my default program for reading pdf files.  I'd like to undo that and go back to "preview" as my default.

  • Adobe Reader default resolution is 110 pixels/inch!?

    I have a PC with a 15" LCD, and Windows XP.
    Operating system's DPI setting is 96.
    I've Installed Adobe Reader and the default setting is 110 pixel/inch (Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display -> Resolution)
    This setting makes all images in the pdf I've created blurry.
    I don't understand why the default behaviour is to override the OS setting which makes images in pdf files look bad!?

    Thanks for the reply.
    What's the resolution setting in your installation of Adobe Reader?
    I'm actually converting .docx files to pdf.
    In Word the pics look great (!00% zoom), but in Adobe Reader they look bigger and blurred (100% zoom).
    Then I change the Adobe Reader's resolution to 'use system setting' and pics in reader start to look good too.
    I can't force everyone that views the pdf to change the Reader's resolution setting. Whan can I do?
