Open pdf in acrobat (reader)

Is it possible somehow to open a downloaded Adobe Digital Editions pdf in Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader?

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

Yes, I mean the eternal application.
Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
Thanks

How to open pdf in acrobat reader in read mode by default?

Thanks for your quick feedbacks.

PDL,
Am getting the Error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer" while trying to instantiate fields list inside the form via an AcroForms object. The problematic code snippet is given below
iPDDoc->Open("PDFFileName")
iAVDoc->AttachDispatch(PDDoc->OpenAVDoc("PDFFileName")), true);
ipFormApp->CreateDispatch("AFormAut.App", &OleExc)
i pFields = new IFields(pFormApp->GetFields());
The GetFields method is giving error in Acrobat 9 but its working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8.
Since the AV layer methods are working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8, please let me know why they are not working in Acrobat 9 and if there is any workaround.
Also, if I use only PD Layer methods, can I access the form fields inside the PDF?

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

IE8 tries to open PDF in Acrobat Reader instead of Acrobat Pro

I installed Acrobat Pro and uninstalled Acrobat Reader (in XP). Unfortunately IE8 continues to try to open web links to pdf files using Acrobat Reader, even though Reader has been uninstalled. XP correctly associates pdf files on my computer with Acrobat Pro. I've tried repairing my Acrobat Pro installation, but the behavior remains. Anyone know how I can get IE8 to use Acrobat Pro for pdfs?

You could check the registry key mentioned in my last posting in this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2726399#2726399
If the Reader executable is missing, You can manually change to "C:\Programs\Adobe\Acrobat #.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" or what is the correct path on Your pc.

Open PDF with acrobat reader not preview

Hi everyone:
I have been creating cross platform projects for a while now.
I just noticed that opening PDF from director tend to open up in
"preview" not in Acrobat. Is there a way I can tell my Mac project
to open the PDFs in Acrobat, if Acrobat doesnt exist then open them
in "preview." On PC they open in Acrobat (I guess this is due to PC
not having anything that can read PDFs naively.)
By the way, I create the projects on PC, and then test them
on the Mac.
thank you,
Rafael.

Is this how it is supposed to be on Mac? Maybe I am just
asking something that I outta know...(like PDFs only open on
Preview on Macs?)

Limiting shown buttons when opening 3D PDF in acrobat reader

Hi guys.
I want to create a 3D PDF to be viewed on the web. I don't think that all buttons(rotate, spin, pan, zoom, etc.) in the 3D toolbar are necessary so I would like to choose which buttons will be shown when the user click where it says
"Click to Activate 3D"
Is there a way t do this? If so, is there a way to lock those so the user cannot activate them?
Thank you.

Hello,
There is an option to manage display of the 3D toolbar whichi only available at the creation of the 3D PDF file (within Acrobat Pro Extended only..):
Go to Edit/Preferences
Select a 3D format then press Edit Settings
Under 3D Panel there is a check box called "Show 3D toolbar by Default" Unselect this option then press OK.
Convert a 3d file to PDFthen save the file
Open the PDF within Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro Extended, the 3D toolbar will not be displayed after activating the 3D content..
Hope this can be helpful
Best Regards

Opening PDFs in Acrobat XI Outside Chrome Browser

Acrobat XI
From Google Chrome, I would like to open a PDF which automatically opens Acrobat outside Chrome i.e. inside Acrobat itself.
I do not want to first save the PDF and then open it.
I want Chrome to download and then open the PDF in Acrobat.
Acrobat 9 would do this. How do you do this in Acrobat XI?
Thanks in advance.

Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit SP1
Chrome Version 37.0.2062.103 m
Acrobat XI v11.0.08
Chrome Browser & Acrobat
"To have Chrome download PDFs instead of displaying them in the browser,
shift-click Disable for the currently enabled viewer.
This leaves both viewer plug-ins disabled so the PDFs won't display in the browser."
There are two plugins shown via "chrome://plugins/".
Adobe Reader - Version: 11.0.8.4
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.8
Only one plugin can be enabled at a time.
If you disable one, the other automatically becomes enabled.
This behavior is not intuitive.
If either is enabled, the PDF will appear in the Chrome browser.
To open PDFs in Acrobat XI outside the Chrome Browser, you must disable both plugins.
To disable both plugins, Shift-Click Disable the enabled plugin.
This will disable both plugins.
Using Shift-Click Disable is not intuitive behavior.
Now when you click on a PDF on a web page, the Chrome browser will not have a plugin to handle the PDF so it will bring up a Save dialog box.
Go ahead and save the PDF somewhere like Downloads.
The Chrome browser will show at the bottom of the browser window a reference to the downloaded PDF.
In the drop-list, select "Always open this file type".
Now PDFs open in Acrobat XI outside the Chrome browser.

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

How to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

how to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?
Thanks !!

pierreswaggy,
If you have a PDF document opened in some other app on your iPad/iPhone, you can use the "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 or 8 version)
If you have PDF documents on your Mac or Windows desktop/notebook computer, you can use Acrobat.com (cloud storage) to share them with your computer(s) and mobile device(s).
On your Mac/Windows computer
Open a web browser.
Go to Acrobat.com (https://cloud.acrobat.com).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Upload your files to Acrobat.com.
You can also use the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open a PDF document from Acrobat.com or save to Acrobat.com. Please check the File menu or the toolbar for the options.
On your iPad/iPhone
Launch Adobe Reader for iOS.
Go to the Reader home screen.
Tap My Account (in the lower left corner).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Tap Acrobat.com in the left pane to see the files on Acrobat.com in Reader.
If you have a lot of large PDF documents on your computer, it would be easier and faster to transfer them to your iPad/iPhone at once (instead of one document at a time) using iTunes.
See How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone.
The documents transferred to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes will appear in the Documents section. Because they are stored locally on your iPad/iPhone. Please note that any locally stored documents will be erased by iOS, if you uninstall (instead of update) the Reader app.
Please let us know if you have additional questions or any problems.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

Which Operating system you are using?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.
