PDF WEB FILES OPEN IN QUICKTIME AND NOT ADOBE

I don't know if this is a browser problem or an issue with my G4 laptop, but web pages that consist of a pdf file don't display properly. The page opens after showing a Quicktime logo, but it is only an initial page of the document. No scroll bar and no capacity to move through the document. Problem exists also in Firefox. Saved pdf files open just fine in Adobe Reader. I thought I had rthe problem corrected as per earlier post. Now it is back, and it is the same in Firefox. How do I tell the browsers to use Adobe for pdf?

I would strongly suggest you make this a separate post. Chances of getting it seen by others who can help, now that it has been marked solved are getting smaller. Also, if I remember, you seem to be using an outdated version of Reader, which is now up to version 9.1 and that might have something to do with this.
Also, Preview App. can be selected as the default .pdf applicaton, perhaps at least until you get this sorted out. It works pretty well. And, if this is a Firefox issue you can post in the Firefox Forum.

  • PDF files open very slowly or not at all.

    I am experiencing an issue on a clients network where most pdf files open extremely slow or not at all. This issue is being experieced by both pc and mac uses, computers on and off the domain. Any one connected to the network. Has anyone seen an issue like this before. We are currently having Cisco troubleshoot the internet router but are not currently seeing any issues there. The isp has indicated that the circuit has tested cleanly. The issue is even seen when trying to download the pdf, it just seems to hang around 80-90 percent of the download.
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreceiated.

    It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
    printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
    default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
    this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

  • Mpegs open in webpage and not in quicktime

    When I open an mpeg video from the web the video plays in the webpage and not in quicktime. How do I get the video to stream straight threw quicktime and not the webpage.
    I have a macbook pro with leopard. I just bought the computer in January. I also registered quicktime pro recently on my computer.

    There are no internet settings or quicktime settings that I can change so that it will automatically play through quicktime?
    On my PC mpegs stream directly to the windows media player. It just seems that apple would be able to do the same thing.

  • Why pdf files open in quicktime?

    why is it that all my pdf downlaods open in a quicktime window and wont let me see the whole pdf file, its just the first page.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Look at the file you're trying to open in the finder, highlight it, then do a "get info" from the File menu. In the "Open with" section, I would imagine that it says, "Quicktime Player." This is why it opens a Quicktime window when you open it.
    You can change this, and should. ::grin::
    Select "Preview" and then click on the "Change All..." button. Now all you .pdf's will open in Preview and all pages will be available for your viewing.
    May all your challenges be this easy to solve.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
    DNG  Converter 8.8

    Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...

    Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
    If you can  answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

  • When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.

    When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.
    With new files opening as a layer and not a background I'm not able to create multiple layers and it wont let me convert the layer to the background.
    How did this happen. I used PS just yesterday and had no problems. Today my computer did mandatory updates and now this.

    Yes. You are using the Ellipse Tool's Pixel option. So it is laying down pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.
    Choose the Shape option:
    Also Layer menu > New Layer creates layers and the curled paper at the bottom of your Layers palette also creates a New Layer. I hope those work.

  • IPhoto Originals File now by Date and not Event - why?

    Ever since I upgraded to iPhoto 09, I realized the original file structure in the iPhoto Library has changed back to Dates, rather than by Events, even though all my photos belong in a non-date event. This is the same as Iphoto 06. I got used to the Event structure in iPhoto 08.
    All my previous events are still intact, but I have this problem for my new pics where if I put them in an event, the original file structure would be sorted by date. This is very annoying if I want to send an event to someone or if I'm using Front Row/Boxee to view a particular event. Does anyone have the same issue? I thought if I put a photo into an event, it would automatically update in the file structure immediately as well.
    As you can see below, some files are sorted by Events and some files are sorted by Dates:
    This is my 2009 iPhoto Originals file:
    4 Jul 2009

    Is there anyway I can have this file organised by Events and not Dates?
    Thank you for your help.

    Is there anyway I can have this file organised by Events and not Dates?
    No.
    The strict link between the Events in the iPhoto Window and the folders in the Finder was broken with iPhoto 09 and no one outside of Apple knows why.
    However, it shouldn't matter, because you ahould not be accessing the files inside the iPhoto Package File anyway - bluntly it's not a supported way of accessing the files.
    Make Albums of the photos to view in other apps.
    fwiw:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Regards

  • How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,
    David

  • I'mtrying to upload my photos to shutterfly I've gone to file and export then the window gives me the option of file export webpage quicktime and slideshow .  on my macmini I have shutterfly on there also how do I get this on my new mac

    Hi Barbara
    Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
    The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
    Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

    Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export?
