Open adobe reader file - read option - instead of open

When I try to open a adobe reader file by right clicking it I get " read" instead of "open " file.
please see attached file for an example of what I mean.
In the attahed printed screen file it says open - this is OK.
but in my other pc I have only "read" not open.
your help would be appreciated
Thanks
Omer

If I press Read the file opens OK with no problem.
The problem is that if I try to open the same file from a third party program it does not open .
The file looks like it does know what windows extension it is supposed to be.
I will try to post a screen shot from the other PC
thanks

In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

Starting today, Firefox will not open Adobe Acrobat files in Adobe Reader, despite my putting Reader as default in Applications tab.

Until today, I had no trouble opening Adobe Acrobat files with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an old version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express that does not recognize later versions.) Starting this morning, when I click on an Acrobat file, I am asked which program I want to open it with. Even when I click "Do this automatically...", it doesn't do so. It asks me every time. I went into Tools, Applications, and changed all of the pdf related issues to open with Adobe Reader 9.5. This also doesn't work.

What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

I choose Adobe Reader XI to open a GPX file. It will not open it how do I get past the screen that says it will not open it to choose something else?

Error Opening Adobe PDF Files

Hi...
I have suddenly had an error appear whe opening most PDF files - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
Subsequently I'm unble to open these files. I'm on a Mac platform with OS X 10.8 and am using Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.4.
The files are mainly downloaded / saved to my desktop through Safari. These are PDF files that I've previously been able to open but all of a sudden can't.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! ...thanks!!

Thanks for offering your assistance with this one mate... I appreciate it!
As requested, this is the first part of one of the files that won't open, as seen in Text Edit:

The rest of it is prety much gobbly **** and ASCI stuff - the kind of stuff that get's me stumped!
Just another discovery with this problem - I've discovered something interesting with my mobile phone bill, which I view as a PDF file in a safari window on my phone provider's website. I right clicked on the phone bill displayed in the Safari and used 'save as' to save a copy of this to my desktop so I could later open in Acrobat Pro and print, as I always do, however when I go to open that file from my desktop, the error occurs and can't open. HOWEVER - I discovered an option through the phone company website to open the file in 'Acrobat' within a Safari window, which I did. It adds Acrobat toolbar menu etc within the Safari screen and displays bill in PDF format as if in Acrobat. I then saved a copy of the file from this view on my desktop, and now That One I can Open! There is anoter distinct difference too - the unopenable files display on my desktop as the 'PDF icon' and the one of the phone bill that I can open displays as a 'Preview Icon' (as they all should).
Hope this all makes sense and may point to something further?
Once again - thanks for the help!

Files sometimes downloading instead of opening within the browser

I know this has been discussed before but I was unable to find an answer. When I try to open a video file while surfing sometimes it opens and plays in quicktime and at other times it starts to download. How do you set it up to play all of the time instead of downloading? My experience has been with videos and not text files as in previous posts.
Thanks

Hi,
It often depends on the website serving the videos. If they specify the wrong MIME type for the file then Safari will treat it as a regular binary file and download it.
Can you give examples of sites where you see the differing behaviour?

My Preview is open all my pics at time instead of open one by one. It occurs when I try to open any type of JPEG file. That's strange and I'm a new macbook user. I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks

My Preview opens all my pics at time instead of open one by one. It occurs when I open any JPG FILE. What should I do to fix it? Thanks

First use JPanel not Panel.
Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
panels=new Panel();
panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
panels=new JPanel();
panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

I just downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS6. And cannot open adobe eps files ?

I have installed Photoshop CS6 and cannot open adobe eps files? any Ideas

Hi there
When you say that you can't open eps files, are you getting an error message?
Photoshop CS6 has the ability to open both .eps and .ai files. However, opening by going to File > Open... will rasterize the image - meaning that it is no long a vector so you can't scale it up and down without losing quality. To open an .eps or .ai file in Photoshop and maintain its vector capabilities, try the following:
Create a new canvas in Photoshop. Then, go to File > Place...
After selecting your file from the Place dialog box, your image will be placed into your canvas. Resize accordingly, and then hit Enter on your keyboard.
The image you just placed is a Smart Object, meaning that it has retained its vector capabilities and can be resized without losing image quality. If you ever need to rasterized this image, just right click on the layer and select Rasterize Layer.
If you are still having trouble, please post here again so that we can provide additional assistance.
Cheers!

Firefox will not open Adobe PDF files on my mini Mac (I have reader x and the latest Quicktime versions)

When I try to download a pdf file sometimes an error message appears and states can't down load file, Quicktime may need an extension. Other times the page just stays blank - nothing happens.
This happens very frequently. I can open some pdf files in Firefox. The problem appears with downloading.
I have the same software in Safari and Firefox and I do not have this problem with Safari - I can download PDFs in that browser

What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

Reinstall of Reader - Cannot open Adobe PDF files

I uninstalled Reader thinking I would just open everything in Acrobat. WRONG! I reinstalled Reader but cannot open any of my Adobe PDF files. What do I do?

Claudio,
Windows 7 Professional. Latest Reader Version was uninstalled and then reinstalled. No error messages. But a window opens up that says:
Attachment: 8x8fax.pdf from Inbox - [email address removed] - Microsoft Outlook
Would you like to open or save to your computer?
Clicking on the Open Box does nothing. I can forward to another computer and open the pdf from there but that is a pain.

How to have Adobe PDF files stored on SharePoint 2013 open in Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I am having troubles having Adobe PDF files open within Adobe. The PDF files are opening within the browser, like Internet Explorer.
In the document library, I have "Use the server default (Open in the client application)", sent but
this has no affect.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
Paul

Can you try setting this value on the client?

Why is Adobe Reader not an option for my "open in" function?

When I go to a PDF to open in Adobe Reader, it's not an option in my "open in" function? Could I have another app that's not compatible with Adobe Reader that I need to get rid of, or have I skipped a step in the set-up process?

That is correct.

Importing / Opening Adobe PDF files

I apologize if this topic has been covered in advance but I have searched until I am blue, and cannot locate any help.
Having said that, I was astounded to discover that Adobe InDesign CS3 does not recognize Adobe PDF files!
That deserves a resounding "Shame on you, Adobe!" After all, the whole idea as I understand "Portable Document File" is for easy portability between applications and platforms. For an Adobe application to not open a simple pdf file (text only) is totally beyond me.
Can anyone help with any work-around?
Shaking my head in disbelief is giving me a head-ache!
Thank You,
Jim Myers

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was looking in the wrong places for your posts. I'm not that familiar with using forums.
Thank you to all who have replied.
I guess I need to do a better job of explaining my problem.
My resume was originally created in Freehand. I like the formatting of it, and would like to retain it as is. I've read the writing on the wall since Adobe acquired Macromedia, and fully expect Freehand to disappear.
I have had jobs which required me to use Freehand, as well as those who use Illustrator. They both have their strong points, but I realize we're going to end up with no more Freehand, so I want to port it to an Adobe product. Since Illustrator does not support multiple pages, I thought In Design would be the appropriate application.
I own Creative Suite 3 so I have all of the Adobe design products including Acrobat. I have been opening PDF's in Illustrator for a long time with a lot of success.
However, when I try to "open" or "import" the pdf's that were created by exporting to pdf from within the freehand document, neither option are available. The pdf document is greyed-out when I select "All readable documents" and when I use "All documents" I get this error message:
Cannot open the file "Editable Fonts.pdf". Adobe
InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in
that supports the file format may be missing, or the
file may be open in another application.
I hope I have been clear enough with my problem. Can anyone help?

I'm aware that I can place the pdf in InDesign as a guide, and re-typeset the document, but I'm hoping to learn the proper method for importing a pdf. Although my resume is only 3 pages (including a page of references), I know that I may have an instance with a much more complex pdf in the future.
One possibility is that the pdf created by exporting the Freehand document is not the "proper" pdf? But I don't know for sure, or how I should try to save it out of Acrobat?
I hope I have been clear enough with my problem. Can anyone help?
