Opening PDFs in a certain folder with Adobe and all others with Preview

I know how to right click and use "open with" and how to set the default application under Info.
What I want to do is set all PDF files in a certain folder to open with Adobe's Reader when I open the file. However, I'd prefer using Preview for the other PDF files not in that certain folder or sub folders.
Is this possible?

Yes but that is just for a particular file or group of files. I add files to that folder often.
I need to be able to apply the change to the directory level, not just the file level.
Thanks much anyway.

SMQ2 - Found a queue with name "*" and all other queues stuck in STOP state

Hi all,
We have a problem on the ECC side, on outbound asynchronous proxies. Sometimes a new queue appears on SMQ2 there with name "", and with status "STOP". At this time, all other queues stuck with STOP status... the only way of resetting all those queues to RUNNING state again is to delete the queue named as ""...
Some of you has any idea how this queue "*" appears there and stop all other queues?
thanks
roberti

Hi Ravi,
Is not only about one queue stopped... the problem is this queue named ""... with status STOP, all other queues stops too with it. The only way to make things work again is to delete the queue named as ""... the problem is to discover what or who is creating this stupid "*" queue. I think that this is a procedural error on datacenter, but they are saying is not the case... I'm investigating, but if someone else has any idea about I would appreciate
thanks!

The most resent Firefox update has a conflicting application with adobe and all pdf files have to open firefox before opening

My issue started with downloading the most current Firefox. Firefox opens multiple empty tabs (20 -30 or more) every time I use adobe reader. I changed the action for a content type to show adobe reader. It was showing open the file in adobe in Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice and this did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Air but could not uninstall Adobe Flash Player because of a conflicting Application with Firefox. I then uninstalled Firefox and was able to uninstall Adobe Flash Player. I reinstalled Adobe Reader only and then Firefox. I no longer have multiple empty tabs opening up but each time I open a pdf file, Firefox has to open as well. I am operating on Windows 7 Home edition. Can some one help this is a nuisance.
Thank you,
Steve Zalkin

Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Hi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use Preview to open PDFs. Right-click a PDF file and go to Open with > Preview

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Form is filled on iPad then emailed. If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

Form filled on ipad. When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank. Have been using this system for months with no problems.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I chatted online yesterday with Adobe and I have domain problem

I bought Photoshop 10 and have not been able to login yesterday I chatted online with Adobe and because i used an e-mail address when I upgraded to 10, when I left the company that e-mail address was dead it now causes a problem Adobe tells me because my new e-mail address is not on the same domain, I do not understand why it cannot be linked to my new e-mail, I have e-mailed Adobe about my problem but just thought someone my know how to fix my issue.

Thanks for the quick response to answer your question I do remember my old pasword for that address, I have both serial numbers for Photoshop Premiere Elements10 as do Adobe because they gave my order number, I changed my e-mail over a year ago with Adobe and have been using Photoshop since just ignoring the message that their system was down when trying to sign in.
The lady from the Adobe Chat told me that and I quote " However in order to transfer a product from a Company account, we need the account which should be the same as the former" I was an 100% Realtor hanging my licence with that company I paid for all my own business expenses so this should not stop Adobe from connecting them to my new email account.
