PDF File Type 'Opens with' ignored

We have systems with both Acrobat 8 and Reader 9.1 installed.  On those systems, double-clicking a PDF file opens the file with Acrobat 8, even though the 'Opens with' setting under Folder Options -> File types is set to Reader 9.1.  Why is our instruction being ignored?  How do we make the system use Reader 9.1 to open PDF files?

If you are on a Windows machine, maybe this is one of the reasons why it is recommended not to install both Acrobat and Reader in the same computer.

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • When pdf file is opened with Adobe reader, it shows extra whitespace after "w"

    I am unable to attach the pdf file here. But my pdf file is having a hyperlink "http://www.google.co.in/". When i open it with Adobe reader, its shown as "http://w w w .google.co.in/", if the same pdf file is opened in some other pdf reader, the link is properly shown and i can click over it to browse. This is a bug in Adobe Reader.
    Please revert back mentioning where should i attach the pdf file.

    I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
    The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
    If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
    However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe  reader issue.

  • PDF file gets open with blank page behind in IE7

    Hi ,
    We have recently upgraded the IE from IE6 to IE7 version.
    Now when we are tring to open the PDF file ,it opens in Adobe Acrobat reader leaving the blank page in the behind.
    Bur earlier i.e. in IE6 we were able to open the PDF in the browser itself , no additional blank page pops up.
    We need to open the PDF in Popup page(i.e. in IE browser itself ).
    Could you please let me know what settings need to do in Adobe Acrobat Reader/IE7 .
    Regards
    Muzeeb

    Configuring the browser to open PDF files within the browser window
    When you install Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a system that includes a browser, you automatically configure the browser to open PDF files within the browser window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader install ActiveX plug-in files that allow you to use Internet Explorer or AOL to open PDF files. If either application is installed, but PDF files don't open in the browser window, then work through the following steps to configure the browser.
    Make sure that the ActiveX folder contains files required for web browsing.
    To open PDF files in a browser window, the ActiveX folder must contain the following files: AcroPDF.dll, AcroIEHelper.dll, and pdfshell.dll.
    The ActiveX controls should be located in: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX
    If any of these files are missing, then repair Acrobat or Adobe Reader by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation, or reinstalling the application.
    Restart Windows to make sure all registry changes are registered,

    I have MSFT Excel and Subethaedit installed...
    I want Subethaedit to open all "*.spad" files
    I go to "Get Info" then go to "Open with:" then choose Subethaedit
    Then I press "Change All...", a dialog pops up and asks if I want to apply the change to all documents of the form "*.spad", and I answer "continue" and then...
    It ignores me; it drops Subethaedit from the list of apps to "Open with" and doesn't change the default format.
    How do I force the type to change to the app I want? Is there a text-file I can munge somewhere?

    Hi, thechao. Welcome to the Discussions.
    It's possible your launch services database is corrupted. See my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ. Then try the procedure you defined earlier, which is also described in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document."
    Good luck!

  • Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

    On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
    She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
    The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
    Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
    Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
    Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
    But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC.  It is not on my PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1.  It is named Adobe Reader XI.
    I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
    But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
    I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message.  As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there.   I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now.  Problem solved.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I receive pdf files that open with checkered background and I can't read them.

    Lately, whenever I open a pdf attachment  from someone, it opens in Adobe with a checkered background.  How do I get rid of this background?

    Hi Barbara:
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have a PC.  How do you set the Reader to open pdf instead of Elements?  When I open my email and it has a pdf attachment, I click on it, it scans it and asks if I want to open it.  It then opens automatically in Elements - with no other option. 
    I invite you to see my website: www.zhibit.org/marlenelevitt

    Your file association is corrupted; reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will likely fix it.
    If you want to fix it manually, tell us your operating system & version.

  • Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe  Reader

    Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
    The problem which i am facing is:-
    In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
    This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
    On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
    PDF will never show up in case of reader.
    I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
    I really need uregent help on this.
    Thanks in advance for help.

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

  • Pdf files not opening in Adobe Reader

    As of 3weeks ago, all of my Pdf files are opening in Corel X3. How can I fix this?

    That may be correct for advanced users, especially if they know that they may also need to re-associate other Adobe Reader file types such as FDF, PDFX, PDX, etc.
