Preview as Default Reader

I have forgotten how to set the Preview App to be the default reader in place of Adobe Reader.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This a pretty strang problem, I think it needs indibidual attention.

  • Make Preview the Default Reader

    I use the Finder to access an ensemble of research documents having different formats - many are pdf's. For reasons of speed and ease of use, I much favor Preview over the Adobe Reader. Unfortunately, whenever I click a pdf file in the Finder, the file is read by the Adobe Reader.
    My question: How do I go about making Preview my default reader when I access a document via the Finder?
    Thanks for your help.

    select a pdf file in finder and enter command+i. in the resulting popup window go to "open with section". select "Preview" to open it and click on "change all".

  • Making Preview the default reader again

    I tried Adobe Reader for a month or so and decided that I don't like it as much as I thought I would. I deleted all the AR files but Safari still is looking for Adobe Reader when I want to download a PDF. How can I reset Preview as my default reader?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Select any PDF file then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open With' select Preview from the drop down menu then click on the Change All button.

  • HT2506 how do I make preview the default reader when I open a file? I just installed Icloud and Microsoft word and excel are still the default.

    I just installed icloud. Afterwards I am having trouble opening files becasue Microsoft excel and word aren't working now. How do I change the default to preview to open files?

    Do I have to do this for each file? 
    When someone sends me a file created in Excel, can my computer default to opening it wit Numbers?
    Thanks, your fix worked for the individual file.

  • How to make Preview the default reader for pdf files online?

    Hi everyone,
    Many product manufacturers put their product's broucher in pdf form online.  I've tried the screen shot capture method for saved pdf files but when the file won't even open online, how do I get to even capture a screen shot in the first place?  Is the problem in Safari 6?  Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Anthony,
    So, you're instincts were correct - it is Safari.....
    I use Firefox as my browser (I'm not a big fan of Safari or on Windows, of Explorer). When I clicked on your brochure in Firefox, it comes up with a little window asking me what I want to do with the file - and with the "Open With" Preview" button checked.
    When I do the same with Safari, it opens a new Safari window, displaying it online, but not downloading it.
    So, don't know if you want to download Firefox, but did want to let you know that's why it was working differently for me!
    Good luck with this - hope you are able to get it to work out for you!
    Cheers,

  • Making Preview the default pdf reader

    For some reason, some pdf files try to open with Safari as the default reader. The only way I can use Preview in this instance is to save the file, then I get an option to open with preview.
    How do I make Preview the default reader for pdf files?

    the Change All option is greyed out.Sounds like you don't have the proper permissions. Under "Ownership & Permissions,be sure you can "Read & Write and under "Details" that you are the owner. Group is Staff and Others can read only.
    If this is correct, then try toggling the "Open with" to another app and then back again to see if "Change All" will become active.
    Also, it wouldn't hurt to run "Repair Permissions" in Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • On a Mac I want to use Preview as default to read PDF's, and Firefox won't let me use anything but Adobe Reader. How to change?

    It had been working properly until recently. I have tried the usual setting in firefox>preferences>applications. It accepts Preview as default, but uses Adobe anyway. If I set it to Ask, it does ask me, and when I tell it to use Preview it uses Adobe.
    Desired default operation is download PDF's and open with Preview.

    The file that stores your preferences for how to open downloads is named mimeTypes.rdf. Since it has a somewhat inscrutable format, the usual remedy is to rename it and have Firefox generate a new one.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show in Finder" button
    Leaving Finder open, switch back to Firefox and Quit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox and reselect your preference. Any improvement?

  • How do I choose Preview as default over Adobe Reader?

    Once you update one thing . . . can of worms.  How do I choose preview as default over Adobe Reader?
    Here's why I want to change the default viewer, in case anyone has ideas: When I updated to Reader X (as required by some of our industry-specific programs) my Quickbooks Online financial program no longer prints in either Safari or Firefox.
    I called QB and they said they only support Reader 9.3. Uninstalled Reader X, tried install 9.3. No go--isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.6.7. Gave QB my "thoughts" on their not being up to speed with Reader updates . . .
    So, maybe changing to Preview as the default reader will work. Adobe 10 has overruled Preview.
    How do I set the preference to go back to Preview?
    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Yes, indeed.

  • HT2506 I prefer Preview as my default reader. Somehow Adobe Reader has locked itself as the default. How do I reset back to Preview?

    I prefer Preview as my default reader. Somehow Adobe Reader has locked itself as the default. How do I reset back to Preview?

    First order of priority - Establish what platform is in use. In this case: MacBook Air with Trac Pad, no Mouse.
    Second - Establish Operating System in use. In this case: OX 10.8.3.
    Third - Establish, as best as you are able, the parameters in which you have been attempting a work-around and, to include mention of, any other secondary software program capable of becoming a default other than, in this case, Preview. 
    Fourth - State the problem: Adobe Reader somehow automatically has become the Default PDF viewer.
    Here's my answer: When a trac pad not a mouse is in use - Select the PDF you will be opening; don't open it, Select it. At this juncture, tap COMMAND - I (Unfortunately Apple has no Drop Down Menu motion to achieve this operation that I can determine); at this point you will get this:
    Click on "Open with: " If you see Adobe Reader there in lies the problem. So, simply click the "up/down" arrows on the Selection Window, and from there click on Preview. From there on Preview will be your Default program.
    Thank you to everyone who helped in reply to my initial query.

  • How to set preview as default pdf viewer from itunes?

    I recently installed acrobat CS3 on my mac and it has taken over the duty of being the default reader anytime i open a pdf. However i must prefer Preview, just because it is a million times faster when all you want to do is view the file.
    I have managed to disable acrobat dominance over pdfs from safari but i cannot seem to find a way to set it so that my music booklets open in preview again and not acrobat.
    Please help, as i have a big presentation tomorrow about podcasting and i wanted to demonstrate the seemless nature of macs!!!!
    cheers

  • How do I change the reader from Quicktime to Preview or Adobe Reader?

       My Safari wants to open .pdf files in Quicktime rather than the preferred Adobe Reader.  What and where can I change this back to making Adobe Reader the default reader?

  • Preview has defaulted to 2 page view, how do I change it?

    My Preview has defaulted to 2 page view, how do I change so that it opens PDFs in single page view?
    Obviously I can do this every time I open pdf but that's crazy. I can't seem to find any preference files to delete.
    Preview Version 4.2 (469.5)
    Any ideas ?
    thanking you very much in advance...

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    If nobody comes up with an easy adjustment, when Preview is not loaded, go into your library/preferences and rename com.apple.preview.plist and com.apple.preview.ImageSizingPresets.plist. Bring up Preview and you should be back to it's basic defaults, as it will recreate those files when it loads. If everything is OK, go back and drag the renamed files to the trash.

  • Make preview the default for opening .pdf

    I can't open a document in Preview (when I try an iCloud screen shows up).  So I want to make Preview my default .pdf reader and open the doc by clicking on it's title.  But I don't know how to do that.

    Hi jackoett,
    Go into your Documents or Downloads in your Finder and find a PDF file and click on it to select it (not to open it). Then click on "File" in the top menu and select "Get Info". You will see a dropdown like this:
    As you can see, it currently says "Open With" Adobe Reader. Click on the little arrows to the right to see your other options:
    Select "Preview"
    Right below the dropdown, you will see an option to "Change All" - click on this, and you will get the following warning:
    If you do want to open all future PDF docs with Preview, click Continue. If you ever want to change it back, (or just change one of them to Adobe Reader), just follow the same steps.
    Cheers,

  • How do I set Preview as default PDF viewer

    I have both Preview and Adobe Reader X installed. I want to configure my setting so when I select a pdf file, it opens in preview and adobe. I have looked through the preferences of both applications, but cannot see where I can change the default application settings.
    Any ideas?

    When you have a pdf file (and I imagine other files types as well), and press command + I, it will open a general info window that will show all the info about that file. It gives a lot of helpful information.
