Opening downloaded pdf files using Adobe instead of in Safari

I prefer to use full-feature Adobe software to view downloaded pdf files instead of Safari. How do I keep Safari from opening them in the browser and instead automatically open Adobe Reader when the search engine finds a pdf file?

I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

Opening 'old' PDF files using Adobe Reader 9

Hi all, has anyone else had problems opening PDF files created prior to mid August 2006 using the latest reader? I can read these files ok using Version 7.1 which fortunately i still have on one of my systems. It only seems to be those provided by a specific utility company (Gas/Electric bills) is there any way of determining what is hanging version 9? It seems to start loading & then just registers as 'Not responding' in task Manager.... Still using Windows 2000; SEMPRON 3400+; 2Gbyte memory system hangs, yet other system using version 7.1 Windows 2000; DURON 1400; 512mbyte memory works fine.
any ideas??????

Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??
Thanks in advance

What is your operating system?
Open a PDF from where? If online, in what browser?

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!

How do I download PDF files using Safari. All I get is a black screen.

How do I download PDF files using Safari. All I get is a black screen.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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.

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?
For Example: There is one pdf file. Let us say xxx.pdf with 32 pages. I am interested in only in a topic present at 10th page. Can I extract this information and save it into another pdf file (means new pdf file)?

Thanks Irosenth,
I am actually interested in extract the page and create a new PDF with that page. But still there is a catch that on which basis the page needs to extract either on PAGE number OR on Bookmark basis.
But here in this scenario assume I am looking for the PDF file, now I want to save only page 5. How can I extract page 5 automatically/programmatuically? Or in simple word how can I get the reference link of page 5?
Here I am not getting clear picture that Do I need both SDK Adobe & Acrobat to achieve this requirement. And more over you have mentioned that SDK itself is free. But on Adobe side it is mentioned that it is available by license only with this I have another doubt: To work my desktop/system application with Adobe PDF library, this library needs to distribute with the application. So in this case will it be chargeable for each and every deployment.
Could you please provide me the link from where I can download the SDK? So that I can do some excerise with SDK to figure out the exact flow of functionality to work with my application.

Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600. HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.

It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
be.

Which tablets allow you to hyperlink to other pdf files using adobe reader?

On my windows pc, i can click the hyperlink on a file that then opens another pdf file.
the adobe reader on the windows tablet doesn't allow this function, nor does the chromebook.
the new ipad is a bit too expensive and the old ipad (1) can't use ios7, so that doesn't work either.
any recommendations for netbooks or tablets would be appreciated.
thanks!!

Hi jeanniemtbean,
Thank You for posting on the forums. Adobe Reader does not provide you with this facility. This is a feature of Acrobat.
Thanks,

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.

Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. How do I do that?

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book. The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book. I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
E.g. (using your code):
String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
// do something
}
