PDF does not automatically open when the PDF is generated

Here are my conditions:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Abobe Acrobat9 Pro version 9.4.2
"View Adobe PDF results" is checked under Adobe PDF Printing Preferences/Adobe PDF Settings
Here is the problem I am facing:
When I print a simple text file under Notepad to Adobe PDF (listed under Devices and Printers), a PDF file is generated but it does not open the newly generated file as it ought to.
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them. I already went through the Repair Acrobat Installation routine. It didn't help.
Thank you.

Bill was suggesting an alternative approach, making this the default setting in distiller. This is a preference settings in Distiller. I don't have Acrobat 9 on my Windows machine, but this is what is looks like on the Mac:

  • Adobe does NOT automatically open when attachments are 'clicked'

    Thanks for reading this post.  When openning a PDF file attachment within an email or a link from a website, Adobe does not automatically launch to view the documents.  In fact, the file conversion screen pops up instead when I select the 'open' tab from the attachment.  When I click the 'save' option, the save file type only includes HTLM and ALL Files..... this is odd why PDF is not a save type option.   Anyway, any assistance to alievate this problem will be helpful. This is very frustration.... I was also wondering if this could be my Norton 360 that is causing these problems....

  • When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

    When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9).  I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12.  I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail!  No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded.  The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time!  I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

    Hi,
    You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
    When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
    It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
    Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
    Good luck

  • Google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

    google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

    When Safari launches, tap in the address field (the one on the left) and type "www.google.com" then hit the "Go" button.
    After the page finishes loading, hit the "Action" button (the middle button on the bottom button bar that looks like an arrow coming out of a rectangle) and select "Add to Bookmarks" to add the Google page to your bookmarks.
    After that, you can hit the Bookmarks button (the button that looks like an open book in the bottom button bar) to access the Google bookmark you just created.

  • My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
    My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
    The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
    I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
    Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
    I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
    Thank you x

    Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

  • Windows 8.1/IE 11 Does Not Automatically Connect to the Internet

    Windows 8.1/IE 11 Does Not Automatically Connect to the Internet
    I can't find the dial and redial options anywhere.
    I' m connecting through PPPOE but only manual.
    I know that in windows 7/8 a program like IE9 or IE10 could connect to the internet, but now it just says that I am not connected to the internet.
    How to connect automacally to the internet and how to let IE to connect automatically to the internet, and why I don't have the options for dialing and redialing like in Windows 8?
    Thank You

    Hi,
    Sorry for my dilatory reply, what does your mean that IE dialing to connect to internet?  Did your system can connect to Internet? or just IE 11 couldn't connect to internet. you can
    check your IE poxy setting in Connections of Internet options.
    If you encountered any IE problem, you can try to reset IE for test to resolve this problem.
    If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

    Hi Friends,
    we are deploying the SP1 via SCCM 2012 , and the success rate is around 50 %, its a Light touch installation where user will initiate the installation via Software Center ( Web based )
    i was able to gather few errors , and this are the errors which failed during SP1 Installation 0x800f0828,
    some errors which sccm reports display are 
    11171
    10008
    10021-
    17031 - 
    1602 - User Cancelled installation
    113 - No more internal file identifiers available
    10070 - File handle reference is no longer available
    10050 - A socket operation encountered a dead network
    11170  - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence
    i could not find the reason for some of the errors, also i am looking for a fix/woraround if any
    Also i have noticed that in few computers the task seq failed at a place where after the sp1 installation a reboot happens and then PGP BYPASS utility is uninstalled, it did not start the PGP bypass uninstall after reboot
    is there a way to cut short the Task seq and keep it simple ?
    right now its like this 
    1. checking for prerequisite : checks for OS Name and OS version
    2. installs PGP Bootgaurd Bypass
    3. System Restart
    4. Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
    5. Final Restart
    6. uninstall PGP Bootgaurd Bypass

    Hi, I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "x" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how to fix.  Also, my ipod is turning off on its own and won't power back on unless I plug it in although it is fully charged.

    For the apps:
    - You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if there is the Restrictions set that prevents deleting apps

  • Slave does not automatically authenticate when master is down

    We are running MFA in a dual server master-slave configuration. When the master MFA server is down the slave does not automatically take over. You have to open the GUI and promote the slave server to master to get it working again. I expected the slave to
    authenticate without administrator intervention. Is this by design? We are running latest version 6.3.1.1. 
    In this thread
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/86efa99d-361c-4f83-bfba-fd75b4505590/azure-mfa-server-replication-and-failover?forum=windowsazureactiveauthentication
    someone mentions the same problem. The reply goes as follows:
    "Regardless of the UI, if an authentication request is sent to the slave, it will process it"
    If the master server is offline, it does not.
    it is also mentioned that
    "One option for HA is to point at one MFA Server as a primary authentication target and another as
    a backup authentication target"
    Where? I cannot find this option anywhere in the MFA interface. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sadiqh,
    thanks for your reply! I had already dug through the link you gave me. For your information: we are using MFA to secure a sharepoint site via IIS. I understand about the 'no updates without the master' thing but in the link it is also said:
    "A slave can process authentication whether the master is up or not"
    It can, but you have to promote it to master manually. It does not process authentication requests from remote users on its own.
    "The slave will only do work when the master is offline"
    What work? It appears to not include authentication request from remote users. At least, not automatically. You have to promote it to master first.
    Finally, it is being said:
    "The on-premises Azure MFA Servers don’t do any kind of failover on its own"
    So, if I am understanding this right you WILL HAVE to promote the slave server to master manually when the master is offline. I am wondering if I can use the MFA API to write a custom script which checks if the master server is offline or not and promote
    to master if needed. If so, I would expect this functionality to be already there with MFA itself. What's the purpose of an MFA cluster if it requires manual user intervention for failover?
    Edit: I am now looking into the powershell module obtainable at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ but
    none of the commandlets seem to support managing the multi factor auth providers via powershell.
    Also, the Azure AD module obtainable at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj151815.aspx seems to be focused at user administration and no support
    for Multi-Factor Auth providers.
    Also, the command line tool obtainable athttp://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli/ also does not seem to have support for managing multi factor auth providers.
    Any ideas/suggestions?

  • QuickTime does not automatically open video clips when double clicked

    Quicktime does not open video clips in iPhoto when the video clips are double clicked (nothing happens). Quicktime will open the video clip if I open quicktime
    and ask it to open the video clip. Regular photos will expand as they should when they are double clicked.

    It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.

  • Dynamic Height in Graphs does not work properly when the graph is in an list

    Help please,
    I have an report in SQL Server 2008 (SP1) Reporting Services which uses Dynamic Height to dynamically increase the size of the graph for the data. For a single dataset this works great!
    When I place this graph in a list/tablix (to display this graph on each group) things go bad... Only the first graph on every page is resized, all other graphs on the same page are equal in size of the first!
    When I place a pagebreak on the lists property all graphs are drawn fine!! But then I will have a page for every question in my data (which can be a lot!)
    What is going on here? Please help.

    Hi Jerry,
    thanks for your reply, but this does not work. The graphs are now all the same size (the size of the first one that is), and on the same page for that matter...
    It looks like the renderer calculates the value of the dynamic height only once on a page in stead of each graph. That's a bug in my opinion.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    The inner workings of the report are like this: The data contains anwers from a survey by question, so i have a unknown count of answers with each question; I placed a list on my report with a groupingproperty on the question asked. On this list i place a horizontal bar-graph which must grow in height when it is too small. The dynamic height should be calculated like this =70 + (CountDistinct(AnswerValue.Value)*10) & "pt".
    When i place this calculation in a textbox, every item in the group is calculated correctly. Each graph is drawn, but the graphs are sized only to the size of the first graph on the page. When I place a pagebreak after each list-repeat (so i get each question on a seperate page) each graph is drawn correctly! This results however in more than 100 pages with all used for just a few centimeters (think about trees!).
    I'm using SQL 2008 / SSRS2008 with SP1 by the way ( without SP1, the behaviour is the same).
    Any more suggestions are appreciated.

  • How do I set up my MBP so that a message does not pop up when the power button is pressed?

    When I press my power button on my retina a message that says "Are you sure you want to ..?"

    Tell your friends to leave your computer alone. That's not the proper way to turn off your MBP. And no, that message cannot be turned off. It is a safety feature.

  • Texting field does not automatically open upon tapping in iOS6?

    Hey there,
    I've noticed since I upgraded to iOS6 that the field at the bottom of my text message screen, which allows you to input the text message reply, doesn't open when you tap it. Instead, to open it up, I have to swipe from the bottom up.
    Is this intentional, or is this something only applicable to my version of the operating system? It's extremely annoying, as when I'm at work it became a natural response to just tap the field and begin replying.
    Thanks and regards.

    Hi falkpl,
    thanks for your work around.
    I do not use a mouse click solution because I can not distinguish between a mouse click and a touch on the screen. And I prefer to not launch any on screen keyboard on a mouse click. Especially because the on screen keyboard opens anywhere on the screen and can hide the control. This is especially nasty when there is a physical keyboard (which is probably is connected when a mouse is there).
    I could combine the ideas. Clicking in a control could open a VI nearby, which only shows a small keyboard icon. Clicking this icon would start an on screen keyboard (osk.exe, tabtip.exe, a keyboard written in LabVIEW).
    But this is reprogramming the existing behaviour of windows, not really funny.
    Placing the "Keyboard Icon Button" VI nicely would take some time, but should work because all is in LabVIEW. (It would also open when using the mouse, but only a small icon should be ok.) For not hiding the active control by the on screen keyboard, the task gets hard. (Positioning the TabTip.exe window is not easy, and creating [or adapting] an on screen keyboard in pure LabVIEW brings some other problems.)
    Should we vote for Touchpanel-Control-Suite-with-Native-LabVIEW-On-screen-Keyboard or is it different from our needs? (I'd prefer to have the functionality in all control styles, not only in a special "Touch Control" set. But maybe I misunderstand the idea.)
    Greetings,
