Need help: Acrobat has disabled Preview

Previously, whenever I clicked on a pdf file in Safari, the file would download to a specified folder and it would open with Preview. Recently, I made the TERRIBLE mistake of installing Acrobat and then uninstalled it. But now when I click on a pdf link in Safari, nothing happens. Nothing downloads and nothing opens. Somehow Acrobat has damaged the link between Safari and Preview and I can't seem to fix it. Has anyone encountered this? Can anyone help???

MacDad:
Piggy-backing on colin's suggestion of Firefox, Camino has an almost identical interface as Safari and you should be very comfortable in it. It offers security features, like Firefox's Adblock, that are easier to use and more automated. I use it along with Firefox, and almost never use Safari anymore. Downlown and try it. It's free, if it does what you want, that's all that matters.
Good luck.

  • Need help adding data to Preview Tab of Crystal Report

    Hi!  I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I'm having with a crystal report I use daily.  I work in accounting and the crystal report i use pulls data for a ton of different general ledger accounts on our system.  However, somehow the crystal report only shows a handful of accounts in the 'preview tab' of my report, which happen to be the accounts I reconcile.  I need to add a few accounts to my report, but no one seems to know how to add new accounts to show up on my preview tab.  I'm thinking there must be some sort of filter in the crystal, version 9.0 or 11.0.  The filter must have been put in place to either only include certain accounts or excluse certain accounts.  Help!  Thanks for your time.

    hi Jeff,
    first we need to determine if you have a full version of crystal reports designer (i.e. crw32.exe) or if you're using a version which is embedded into an accounting application.
    if you're using the latter then you need to contact the company that manufactures the accounting software.
    if you do have a full version of crystal reports then you can go to the Report menu > Selection Formulas > Record and check to see how the record filter is determined. my guess though is that you're using an embedded version.

  • Need Help - Acrobat 9.4 won't open scanned documents

        I have a computer in my office that will not open scanned documents in Acrobat 9.4. Acrobat opens but is just a grey screen.  Documents that were converted to PDF from Word/Excel/etc. will open just fine. 
    Adobe Reader 10X is also installed on the computer and will open scanned documents, but user needs to be able to go in and edit documents, so Reader is not enough for him. 
    Any troubleshooting ideas greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks! 

    Since scans are images you need to go to Edit >  Preferences > Page Display and put a checkmark in the box for "Show large images"  This should allow you to see the scans.

  • Need help with CS3 DW previews in Firefox 3.6.13

    I'm working in CS3 Dreamweaver & just updated Firefox to 3.6.13. Before I updated, I had no problem previewing websites in DW. Since I'm on a Mac & working on a Linux site, now I can't get previews on any browser but Safari (no Firefox, no IE). Help!

    There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions on MacOSX 10.5 and higher - may be inconsistent with lower versions of Mac OSX:

    There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

  • I need help, it has taken me 20 minutes to get a user name

    I was working on a site for several hours, on the desktop mode of my windows 8 computer. suddenly, when i tried to load 1 more map it said I needed to have adobe installed. i have spent an hour in viscious circles of your websites tellingme that it comes with the flash player (as obviously it has been working for 7 months) but i need to do an update, then another page says i don't need an update and it won't take me to a place i can get one anyway. i do not have IE 10 and don't want it. what the heck am i supposed to do to get my map page back????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    windows 8 using internet explorer.
    Came with flash player, and it was working for 7 months. now not so.  because adobe apparently hasn’t caught up with W8, it doesn’t detect that a player is installed at all.
    thankyou

  • Faulty Bluetooth Module, Need Help to Completely Disable

    I have a 2 GHz Core Duo Macbook running 10.6.8 and I am currently having a very frustrating issue with my bluetooth module.  When I attempt to sleep my computer it immediately wakes, as addressed by users with faulty bluetooth modules.  Bluetooth is also not found in my system profiler so it must be a hardware issue.  At this point I am just holding out for a the new macbook pro and am trying to get by with this machine.  My question is how can I completely disable bluetooth on my computer so that my mac will not sleep.  I do not have any bluetooth devices and am not concerned about regaining bluetooth functionality, I just want my computer to get some sleep.  I am familiar with basic terminal commands.

    Hi, manojgj
    I don't think the wire is part of the Bluetooth. If you enter the BIOS and navigate Security ► I/O Port Access, do you see Bluetooth listed? If so, is it set to Enabled?
    Best,

  • E2500 Portforwarding - Need Help - Mystery has puzzled 20+ On Teamviewer

    I am having a bit of trouble and am looking for the help of any expert. I have been everywhere, called everyone, and team viewed with many people. No one can seem to figure out my problem. I am trying to portforward ports for online gaming.
    The two particular ones are runescape private servers, port 43594, and minecraft, port 25565.
    I have a linksys e2500 router
    I am currently with S&T telecommunications for my internet service. I have called them to see if they block any protocols or ports by default. They sounded pretty clueless but assured me that they do not.
    My OS is Windows 7
    I have followed portforwarding tutorials on how to forward these ports, followed tutorials on how to add exceptions into my Windows 7 firewall, and so on. I have pretty much exhausted all options. I have went to canyouseeme and every time I get the error code "Reason, Connection timed out"
    If anyone has any new ideas or would like to aid in figuring out this mystery which has stumped me and many others, feel free to give it a shot
    Thank You

    You could call them, but more than likely your modem is already in bridge mode if it's not a router.
    Try these steps.
    1. Reset linksys to factory defaults by pressing and holding reset button for 15 seconds
    2. Reconfigure your linksys
    3.  Go to firewall tab on linksys and uncheck the box "filter anonymous internet requests"
    4.  Go to E2500 settings and use DHCP reservations
     (Also make sure your computers are set to receive an IP address automaticly from the DHCP server)
    http://uits.iu.edu/page/aiyy
    5.  go to windows firewall and double check that the port exceptions are correct
    6. forward the ports on the router to the appropriate ip address
    7. reboot your router and computers
    8. test with pfportchecker
    The above steps are what I do and I don't have any problem opening ports on a linksys router

    You say you 'checked' on the Toshiba website, but what memory did you actually buy?  If it is from Toshiba, then you need to be talking with them about the problem.  If you just bought any old memory according to the description on the Toshiba website then you probably bought incompatible memory.

  • Need help with the "RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames" error

    I keep getting this error while trying to RAM Preview, I've tried to purge all my AE memory, upgrade to the latest version of AE (2014,2) but it still doesnt work.
    Please help

    What happens when you create a brand new project, put in a solid, animate its position, and RAM preview it?
    If that works, what happens if you import your troubled project into this brand new one?
    You have restarted your computer, right?

  • Alright so I need help - Pod has music but computer has none

    Alright so here's the 411. My ipod has an approximate 1100 songs on it. My previous laptop broke down so I had to get a new one, with an obvious 0 songs. So iTunes has this lovely feature that likes to duplicate my current library to my iPod. See the dilemna? Well so is there a way that I can keep all the songs on my iPod yet add new ones from my iTunes library now?

  • Need Help- Acrobat Forms

    I work at a school and created an adobe form for student write ups.
    We have it hosted on our network and I created a submit file and a response file.
    Right now when I open the response file I can update and edit and save. But when my principal opens it, he can only see what I have saved and cant do any updates or saves.
    Is it possible for 2 accounts to have full rights to the response file? If not is there a better way to do this. We want to both be able to see, update, change and save the files.
    I feel like I have tried everything but nothing seems to work.

    OK, and this may not be any more help, but another thing I would check is if anything is locked on the form when you go into the form wizard and edit fields... especially if when you go to the save button or save the document it automatically locks it. If you place a signature on it it automatically locks the document and I am not sure how to get around that. Also if you are submitting the form to like an intranet page, make sure if you export it as an FDF you check "Incremental changes to the PDF" and probably comments
    Finally (nearing the end of my 30 second Adobe class I went to) if you are saving it as a PDF document to sent to the other party, then it automatically locks the document for security reasons (please correct me if I'm wrong)... and as a last resort or a workaround he could probably bring up typewriter and just type what he wants in there and save it that way. If refilling fields and adding data is a requirement I think the only real way to do that is to distribute the form as an FDF.
    Hopefully in all that jibberish you found something that is of use...
    As far as setting up admin users, I was not aware of any feature like that... I thought if you originated the form then you were the super user as it were... if the other document works just fine and they are both made the same way then I am not sure... sorry to not be of much help

  • Acrobat 8 disables "Save to PDF" only for some PDFs?

    Hi there,
    I have a tax for for this year that I downloaded from the Colorado Dept of Revenue. The form lets me "fill in the blanks" and prints, but won't let me "Save As" (like the Fed forms will).
    So I thought I'd try to "Print" and select "Save as PDF", but somehow, Acrobat has disabled this function completely, and a dialog comes back and says "Use File -> Save As" in Acrobat. But that functionality is disabled.
    How can Adobe disable a system function like Print to PDF???? That seems "bad" to me... Can anybody tell me how to save the form that I've filled in? I don't need to edit it again, but it would be nice to be able to do this.
    I can print it, then rescan the printed copy to PDF again, but that seems like an extraordinarily stupid and manual workaround....
    Thanks in advance....
    Steve
    PS: If anybody wants to try it, the link to the form I'm working with is
    http://www.revenue.state.co.us/PDF/06106fill.pdf

    You need to moan at the original creator, who has
    apparently given the file the wrong attributes due to
    lack of forethought. Acrobat is only behaving as
    it's supposed to.
    It's that Acrobat has apparently modified a system function (print to PDF) that I'm complaining about. I understand them disabling the "Save as PDF" function, but I totally disagree with them modifying my print driver's ability to perform a function that every other Macintosh application can perform.
    I will be opening this as an issue with both Apple and Adobe. I don't believe they should be allowed to do this. They can make their own program do whatever they want, just don't modify the way the printer driver works.
    I'll also open this issue with the State of Colorado to make their forms "saveable".
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Steve
