Reg key to set PDF opening in Reader and not the web browser

Is there a reg key which would apply to all users/computer (not just current user, Hkey_user) to set a variable that would open PDF's in the actual Adobe Reader program and not in a web browser.
I only find references to reg key's that apply to the current users logged in, but unfortunately I work in an education facility and we use Dynamic user id's which creates a new user each time in windows, and then removes the profile on logout
Thanks in advance,

Would you suggest downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard and creating an MST file to distribute the app?  If so, do you have documentation on where to change this setting?

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

  • Open Adobe Reader and not Acrobat in browser

    I just installed the now freelaý available Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and in my browers PDF files are now opened in that one.
    But I intend to use it only for editing PDFs. Since it is not the newest version, I would for security reasons prefer to have Adobe Reader open PDFs in my browsers, since it will always be the newest version.
    How can I keep Acrobat and still have the Reader open the files?
    A plugin or some setting?

    It IS now freely available FROM ADOBE: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ , with serial number and all! And it was activated by Adobe after I installed it! No crack, no hack... (At least this is available in Europe, maybe not in the US?.)
    But plesae advice how I can make Reader (latest version) open in the browser instead of Acrobat. There will surely be a way, such as, maybe, a change in the Registry,
    In the Reader, there is an option Edit > Preferences > Internet, but it now points to Acrobat...
    In Acrobat there is a similar option where I can mark "Display PDF in browser". It makes no difference if I mark or unmark it.
    Normally, the Reader should have this option, too, but it has now been hijacked by Acrobat.
    There  must be a way, please tell me...

  • Open PDF in full Reader and not web browser

    Hi
    I am currently designing an internal help page with PDF forms - Is there anyway to open a pdf web page link in Internet explorer and open the PDF in the full Adobe x reader and not the internet browser version from inside the form itself?
    Thanks in advance
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    Try to turn off the below mentioned feature from Reader and Acrobat (If both on your computer)
    Edit > Preferences
    Click Internet Category
    Uncheck " Display PDF in Browser "
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Acrobat plug-in. I get this when try to opem. The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again. Don't problems w/ Internet Explorer-

    Acrobat plug-in.
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.

    See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

    I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!

  • Way to force .pdf to open in Reader and not in browser

    I saw where there was an Acrobat action called
    Convert PDF2FDF auto-save Action on the AcrobatUsers.com Action Exchange.
    which didn't work, it came in corrupted and unusable.  Does anyone know of an action or anything that will force a .pdf hosted online to open in the visitor's Reader program and NOT the browser they are in...?  No matter what browser.
    Any help you can give me with this is appreciated.   Looking for a consistent user experience here where they can fill in the information on the pdf form, save it and email it without too much hoopla.
    I am really surprised after all of the work I've put into this that this is not something that is more easily accomplished, but perhaps I am doing something wrong or don't have enough information.
    Thanks!

    Actions can be tricky, Are you aware that the method of encoding Actions or Batch Processes changed between versions 9 and 10 and again between 10 and XI?

  • How to open non-HTML fiiles in the web browser???

    Hi.. My project requires that I should be able to open all the non-HTML or HTML files in the web browser itself. Ex. If there is some pdf file or doc file or any other file it should open in the browser itself. If the appropriate plug-ins are not there then it should first ask to download those plug-ins and then after downloading it the file should open in the browser.
    I would be grateful if anyone can help me out. If there is some link or something like that then please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    you can open non-HTML files in the browser... when the file is sent from the server side you have to set the content type to match the content type of the file you are sending..
    for example, if you are sending a pdf file.. you have to set the content type as : application/pdf
    Another example: If you are sending a word doc use: application/msword

  • How to make .pdf's open in Reader and NOT Photoshop

    I am using Adobe Reader X, v 10.1.1 with Vista.  I also have Adobe Photoshop installed.  When I try to open a .pdf file, it automatically opens in Photoshop instead of Reader.  Is there a setting I can change somewhere to ensure that pdf's automatically open in Reader instead?
    Thanks!

    If you are using Windows XP. you can do the following (any other OS will probably be similar).
    Highlight a PDF on your drive. Right-click, choose "Open with>Chose program". Select Reader then click the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."

  • How can I have links within emails read with Seamonkey open on the default Firefox browser and not the Seamonkey browser?

    I use the SeaMonkey 2.0 mailer for my email client and Firefox 3.6 for my default browser. A link embedded in an email (read with SeaMonkey) opens the SeaMonkey browser and not Firefox. How can I have it open on Firefox?
    (SeaMonkey is not set up as the default browser and Firefox is.)

  • Saving a PDF crops to artwork and not the artboard

    I have read a few posts on the web regarding this issue and was wondering if anybody here has a solution. 
    Since upgrading to CC, when saving our PDFs they now crop to the boundaries of the artwork and not to the artbord like in previous versions. I work in a PDF enviroment and we have a program that relies heavily on XMP data - one of which is the X and Y co-ordinates of the artwork in relation to the top-left corner of the artboard, however now, when artwork goes outside of the artboard or doesn't fill the artboard, the resulting PDF crops to the artwork thus changing the X and Y co-ordinates of where artwork is positioned on the page.
    Is this a bug that is likely to be fixed or has a feature changed that I don't know about.

    This is in Illustrator CC Version 17. It is fine when you open them back in Illustrator.  I have also noticed that from Illustrator if you do a 'Save As', select PDF, then select one of the PDF presets (I use 'Press Quality) the resulting PDF when opened in Reader displays how I want it, with the artwork as it was positioned on the Illustrator artboard (not cropped). If I then open in Illustrator again, make a change to the artwork, and select 'Save' (not 'Save As') when opened back in Reader the file is cropped again.

  • When I try to open pdf documents I get a message telling me to open adobe reader and accept the end user license agreement. Can anyone help?

    This happens ever since I have upgraded to the latest reader for iOS.

    Adobe Reader for iOS does NOT show an end user license agreement.  It must be something else.
    shawiya,
    What is the version number of your Adobe Reader? 
    Would you take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply?  On iOS, you can take a screenshot by pressing the Sleep/Wake button while holding down the Home button.
    How do I insert an image or video and attach a file?
    We should be able to tell a lot about your problem from the screenshot.
