  • How do I make preview default for pdf's in safari?

    I googled it and it said to go to library in your finder, but there is no "library" in my finder. what do i do?

    You can make Preview the default for PDF files you download in Safari. Locate a PDF file on your system, select it, click cmd-i to Get Info, then find the "Open With" tab, change the application to Preview, and click Change All.

  • Default for PDF documents

    The default to open a pdf document always goes to "preview", which frequently marks the file as un readable. i have to save the pdf to a folder, then go in and "Open with" adobe. How do i change the default for any document with a .pdf subscript to automatically open with Adobe?

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • How do I make comments on a pdf document that was sent to me?

    I have windows XP and Reader 7.0.   Is there a way to enable "edit" so that I can make "comments" on a pdf. document that was sent to me?  withought spending $$$ for pro?

    Thanks Sabian.  It took me a while to figure out that "close Acrobat Reader 7.0" actually meant "delete it".   After loading 10.1.2 I followed the instructions to send my pdf file and Internet Explorer decided to "quit" right in the middle of the process. ??  I'll try to use Chrome to see if that helps.

  • Thumbnails for PDF-Documents

    Hi,
    I want to use "thumbnails"-property (rnd:thumbnail) for PDF-Documents. Do I need an extra plug-in?
    Thanks!
    Kind regards
    Natalya Kolesnikova

    Hi Mark,
    as far as I know the BADIs here are used to connect a special converter which is able to convert PDF files into useable thumbnail formats.
    Maybe the information in the following link can help you to find a consulting partner which can help you to realise this function:

  • How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

    Somehow the default setting for all my PDF documents and photos is now ColorSync. How do I change the main default setting, which I think should be Safari?

    The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
    Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

  • How do I make Microsoft Office my default for opening documents?

    Is there a way to have all word documents and pages documents only open up in word?
    As well as excel documents?
    Some of my documents open in word and others open in pages by default. I want them all to be the same, and to only open in Microsoft Office programs.
    I have the new imac with OSX 10.9
    Thanks!

    Microsoft Office can't open documents saved in the native Pages format. For compatible document types, select one of them in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, select the desired application, and press the Change All button.

  • Very Slow Load Times for PDF Document

    Hi,
    I have a PDF document that takes forever to load in preview (on the order of a minute or more). It is eight pages, but when I try to go to the last two pages, each of which has a drawing created by using Autoshapes in Microsoft Word, again they take a minute or more to load.
    The document looks to have been created by Acrobat 6 for Windows from a MS Word document. Adobe Reader 7.0.7 on another machine loads the document correctly and speedily (well, as speedily as Adobe Reader can...).
    Are there known problems with this type of graphics, MS Word drawings, in a PDF document? Is there any way I can make the document load faster?
    Thanks,
    Jeff Corbets

  • Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

    We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

    1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
    I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
    2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
    Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

  • Preview not showing pdf document.

    Preview 8.0 has stopped showing some of my pdf documents when opened.  the documents show up as thumbnails but not on the main document space which is blank.  it will temporarily show but then goes blank in a second.  i recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 on my iMac.
    Used the Preview 7.0 on my MacBook Pro OS X 9.9  on the same documents and have no problems.
    does anyone know how to fix this.

    Do a backup.
    Quit Preview.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following.
    Containers/com.apple.Preview
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState

  • Preview and a PDF document problem-suggestions please

    http://www.godsendagenda.com/art/D6PowersSample.pdf
    The above is a sample of a pdf document which views fine in adobe reader, but in Preview appears to have issues with text lines and pictures interacting. One cuts out the other (or fades it). Can anyone who has know how take a look and tell me what I can recommend to the author to fix this issue so Preview works like AR? Thanks in advance for anyone who has this kind of tech knowledge.

    I took a look at it and see the same weirdness. Superficially it looks fine, but if you take a close look at the ends of some, but by no means all, the printed lines that abut graphics files while also printing over an underlying graphic, parts of the words have disappeared. What's odd is you can double click a messed up word, select copy, and the whole word appears on the clip board. I seem to remember Preview having some problems with certain kinds of transparency effects that work fine in Acrobat. That may be the case here.

  • Set indent as default for all documents

    Is there a way to set my own indentations for paragraphs, as a default for any new document I create?

    You will need to make a custom template with your own settings.
    The default text style is Body so set that the way you like it in the template.
    If you need help with templates and styles look here:

    You can set your custom template to open by default in your preferences.
