Opening A PDF in Desktop View

How do I open a PDF in the old desktop view?

If you have a PC/notebook/tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8 (not Windows RT), you can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) and run it on the Windows 8 desktop.
Download Adobe Reader XI from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Note: Because Adobe Reader Touch is a Windows Store app with Modern UI, it does not run in the classic desktop environment.

  • Command Line Parameters - opening a pdf in "Files" view ?

    I am trying to open a PDF from a command line parameter which will force it to open in "Files" wiew,  which in my case is a column on the left hand side with a series of page icons with a title:
    01 Introductions
    02 Installation
    03 Instructions
    04 Troubleshooting
    So, I have tried a lot of parameters to open it in this way and none seem to work.
    I have tried:
    acrord32.exe /A "pagemode=thumbs=OpenActions" "a.pdf"
    and many more
    I have the PDF on acrobat reader opening parameters but none seem to do it for me.
    Any ideas?

    Nowhere in that file does it say that it works for Reader.

  • Preview doesn't open updated pdf on last viewed page

    Hello.
    I use a program called LaTex to create pdf's which I view in the Preview app. Aesthetically I prefer Preview and don't want to change pdf viewers.
    However, after changing to Yosemite recently, whenever I make a change in my file and then recompile it using LaTex, the resulting pdf reopens in Preview at the beginning of the file, which is most inconvenient if I'm doing lots of edits and want to look at how they appear in the resulting pdf. This is despite having selected the preference to open documents in Preview on the last viewed page (which does work ok for files that haven't been changed externally to Preview). Note also that before migrating to Yosemite, I didn't have this issue.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions on how to recover the "open on last page" functionality for updated pdf's in Preview?
    Thanks in advance.

    Please provide some details; operating system, Reader version, local or online files, ...

  • When opening a pdf file it views as garbled letters.  Can you help?

    Having trouble.  I recieved an email with an attached pdf file and when I try to open it, it appears all garbled.  I have tried opening it on my ipad and it appears fine there.  On my desktop, not so well.  Can you help?  I have upgraded to the most current verion of adobe.

    On the desktop, what is your operating system & version?
    What is your Reader version?
    Does the PDF actually open in Adobe Reader?

  • Why does cnn or other links open in desktop view?

    Every browser I've used (chrome, opera, dolphin,etc.) will open www.cnn.com in a readable, single-column, format. How come Firefox opens in a full desktop view - which is unreadable without zoom?

    Make sure you have unchecked 'Request Desktop Site' in the browser menu. Also, make sure you have not accidentally set a non-default perhaps desktop different user-agent in Phony if you have that add-on installed.

  • How to stop firefox from opening new tab when opening a pdf that is previously saved on my desktop?

    PC Windows 7 Pro 32 bit
    I have previously saved PDF files on my desktop. When I open the PDF, firefox sees fit to open a new tab even though I do not have the browser open. This is annoying because after I close the PDF I then have to close the New Tab browser window as well. This costs me a lot of productivity time as I open a lot of PDF's for work. The PDF file use to show the Adobe logo on the file on desktop. Once I installed firefox it now shows the firefox logo?
    I have already set PDF's to open with Adobe as default through Menu-Options-Applications

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

  • How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?

    I would like to open all PDFs on my local MS Windows desktop open in Firefox so I can use tabs.
    How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
    I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
    %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
    I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.
    Thanks. -Noel

    Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
    Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
    If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

  • How do I deselect the box "open internet files on the desktop", to allow me to open tiles only in METRO view?

    At some point or another I clicked "allow" for my firefox to cease opening windows in the app view of my Microsoft Surface Pro. They currently are only opening on the desktop view. How do i switch this back to the app view?

    I'm sorry, but I tried what you said, but it did not work and I dont see how changing the pop-up configuration should affect my use of the firefox app. However, i do not understand much at all about this !
    Let me rephrase my problem: even from the tiled start screen, if i click on the app icon, it brings me back to my desktop. I much prefer the app version of fire fox. The desktop view is hard to read because everything is tiny and i cant swipe to change between firefox screens.
    Does this make sense at all?
    With internet explorer it was as simple as Settings>internet options>programs> uncheck the box titled "open internet explorer tiles on desktop".

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

    I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

    If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.
