Open Adobe Reader and not Acrobat in browser

I just installed the now freelaý available Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and in my browers PDF files are now opened in that one.
But I intend to use it only for editing PDFs. Since it is not the newest version, I would for security reasons prefer to have Adobe Reader open PDFs in my browsers, since it will always be the newest version.
How can I keep Acrobat and still have the Reader open the files?
A plugin or some setting?

It IS now freely available FROM ADOBE: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ , with serial number and all! And it was activated by Adobe after I installed it! No crack, no hack... (At least this is available in Europe, maybe not in the US?.)
But plesae advice how I can make Reader (latest version) open in the browser instead of Acrobat. There will surely be a way, such as, maybe, a change in the Registry,
In the Reader, there is an option Edit > Preferences > Internet, but it now points to Acrobat...
In Acrobat there is a similar option where I can mark "Display PDF in browser". It makes no difference if I mark or unmark it.
Normally, the Reader should have this option, too, but it has now been hijacked by Acrobat.
There  must be a way, please tell me...

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

  • Reg key to set PDF opening in Reader and not the web browser

    Is there a reg key which would apply to all users/computer (not just current user, Hkey_user) to set a variable that would open PDF's in the actual Adobe Reader program and not in a web browser.
    I only find references to reg key's that apply to the current users logged in, but unfortunately I work in an education facility and we use Dynamic user id's which creates a new user each time in windows, and then removes the profile on logout
    Thanks in advance,

    Would you suggest downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard and creating an MST file to distribute the app?  If so, do you have documentation on where to change this setting?

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy. 
    Sigh...Jim R.

  • Way to force .pdf to open in Reader and not in browser

    I saw where there was an Acrobat action called
    Convert PDF2FDF auto-save Action on the AcrobatUsers.com Action Exchange.
    which didn't work, it came in corrupted and unusable.  Does anyone know of an action or anything that will force a .pdf hosted online to open in the visitor's Reader program and NOT the browser they are in...?  No matter what browser.
    Any help you can give me with this is appreciated.   Looking for a consistent user experience here where they can fill in the information on the pdf form, save it and email it without too much hoopla.
    I am really surprised after all of the work I've put into this that this is not something that is more easily accomplished, but perhaps I am doing something wrong or don't have enough information.
    Thanks!
    Ruth

    Actions can be tricky, Are you aware that the method of encoding Actions or Batch Processes changed between versions 9 and 10 and again between 10 and XI?
    What version of Acrobat are you using?

  • How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

    How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

    If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I have a MacBook Early 2009, when I open Adobe Reader and try to put text in the blanks, which I used to be able to do. It always closes on me. I am running OS 10.7.5 and Adobe 11.0.04. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am trying to place text in an Adobe Reader document. I have done this hundreds of times. Everytime I click on the text icon it Adobe crashes. How can I fix this.
    I have also had a couple of apps do the same thing. They work once or twice then crash.
    Please help!!!

    Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

  • When I try to open pdf documents I get a message telling me to open adobe reader and accept the end user license agreement. Can anyone help?

    This happens ever since I have upgraded to the latest reader for iOS.

    Adobe Reader for iOS does NOT show an end user license agreement.  It must be something else.
    shawiya,
    What is the version number of your Adobe Reader? 
    Would you take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply?  On iOS, you can take a screenshot by pressing the Sleep/Wake button while holding down the Home button.
    How do I insert an image or video and attach a file?
    We should be able to tell a lot about your problem from the screenshot.

  • How to make .pdf's open in Reader and NOT Photoshop

    I am using Adobe Reader X, v 10.1.1 with Vista.  I also have Adobe Photoshop installed.  When I try to open a .pdf file, it automatically opens in Photoshop instead of Reader.  Is there a setting I can change somewhere to ensure that pdf's automatically open in Reader instead?
    Thanks!

    If you are using Windows XP. you can do the following (any other OS will probably be similar).
    Highlight a PDF on your drive. Right-click, choose "Open with>Chose program". Select Reader then click the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."

  • Open PDF in full Reader and not web browser

    Hi
    I am currently designing an internal help page with PDF forms - Is there anyway to open a pdf web page link in Internet explorer and open the PDF in the full Adobe x reader and not the internet browser version from inside the form itself?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Andy,
    Try to turn off the below mentioned feature from Reader and Acrobat (If both on your computer)
    Edit > Preferences
    Click Internet Category
    Uncheck " Display PDF in Browser "
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must first launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.

    Using Google Chrome, when attempting to open a PDF document, the following message appears:
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must first launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.
    On my Mac, there is no way to just open Adobe Reader and accept the ELUA.

    See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.

    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.
