Saving location when multiple open PDFs in Preview
Does anyone know why this still isn't fixed in Mavericks: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3767674 ?
Quote
I mostly use Preview.app (on Lion 10.7.3) to read and annotate relatively large pdf documents (articles, reports, etc.). While working on a given project I tend to have many pdf files open at the same time. I personally would like to have all of the pdfs I use open in a single window, so I have Preview set to "Open all files in one window" (Preferences > General). This setup initially worked very well since it allows me view all of my open documents in the sidebar (similar to tabs in a browser window). The problem is that when I switch from one pdf to another, the position of the pdfs (i.e., the page I was on when I switched to another pdf) is not preserved. This seemingly defeats the purpose of having this functionality in Preview, so I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.
First, is this the intended behavior of this setting, or is this a bug? In either case, is anyone aware of a fix for this? I just want the documents I'm reading to preserve their positions when switching between them when opened in a single window
Really really frustrating!!
Not sure why you prefer to open the PDF outside of
Safari?
i think it's more convenient:
Acrobat is too slow; and when viewing PDFs inside Safari i don't have all the nice keyboard shortcuts for zooming, flipping pages, copying stuff from the PDF is not as smooth, etc. It's just the overall look-and-feel that's much nicer in Preview, IMHO.
Anyway, I guess you're saying Preview does not open
after the PDF download.
Yes, that's what i meant.
Have you tried accessing the
info panel for one of the PDF files and changing the
"open with" selection to "Preview" - then, "change
all"?
Now i am not quite sure what you mean.
In Finder, when i double-click a PDF it opens fine in Preview.
Also, in the info panel, Preview is set for the "open with" for all and any PDF.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?
You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for. -
I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????
Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.

When I open a pdf, it used to open in Preview. Now my iMac requires Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview. How can I make my iMac open pdf in Preview again?
If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.
Mac Basics: Preview app views and edits PDFs and images -
When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?
You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

Hi,
In pages, when you open the print dialogue there is a PDF button. The top item on the list is:
Open PDF in Preview. Clicking this used to do just that, open the document in preview. After
updating to Snow Leopard, it now opens in Adobe Acrobat. I'm not sure why or how to change
this.
I want to open the PDF in preview, not in adobe acrobat.
thanks for any help you can give.I'm am truly sorry if I seem impatient. This thing has just annoyed me all day. Thank you for your comments but what you are talking about is setting a default program to open all the PDFs on the computer. This is NOT what I want to do. I know about the feature you are talking about and that is NOT what I'm looking for.
Before updating to Snow Leopard my default PDF application was Adobe PDF Pro. Any PDF I made and opened, did so with that program.
BUT from Pages, when I would press "Open PDF in Preview" it would do so.
SO, if I made a PDF, it would open in Adobe Pro. But, WITHOUT MAKING a PDF, I was able to open
my pages document as a PDF using the "Open in preview" button. I did not make that document a PDF, I did not use quick look. In Pages I pushed command P, selected the options under PDF, pressed "Open in Preview." At that time it then opened my document in Preview and I had a wide variety of formats to save it in, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PDF etc. From there I often saved the document as a JPEG (for reasons to long to explain here.)
SO, at present Adobe Pro is set as the default PDF opening program as it should be. But, from Pages, I want to be able to save in various formats, in the past I have done so from the drop down menu mentioned above. That was true for two years up until this past week when I changed operating systems. I simply want to regain the lost functionality. -

Do a backup.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all.
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState

Safari cannot open PDFs in Preview
When I view a PDF in Safari and I choose the "Open PDF in Preview" icon it opens instead in Adobe Reader, not Preview. Control clicking gives the only option as "Open with Adobe Reader xx.x.x". I don't have the AdobePDFViewer.plugin, either at the root level or my user level of Library/Internet Plug-ins. So, how do I get a PDF to open in Preview when viewing it online in Safari?
To be clear, I'm not talking about opening a PDF from the Finder.
I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. Reader is at 10.1.3.Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
Make Safari open PDF in preview automatically, by default
Is there any way I can make Safari open (download + view) PDF links in Preview?
I know that Safari opens PDFs in its own viewer, and then I can use the semi-opaque 4-button toolbar at the bottom of the window (when the toolbar is visible) to Open PDF in Preview, but that's a fair bit of extra work from a UI perspective.
I click the link to the PDF, and the PDF opens in a new Safari window.
I move the mouse to the bottom of the page, wait for the gray toolbar to appear, then click the Open PDF in Preview.
(This is assuming the toolbar shows itself, which for some reason it has stopped doing on some PDFs.)
Now I've got a Preview window with my document, plus the useless Safari PDF view, plus my original webpage.
It's tedious and cumbersome.
Yes I know I could option-click the PDF link to automatically download the file, but that doesn't automatically open the file after it is downloaded. Either way I have to mess around to open the file as I'd like to.Right-click on the PDF document; select Get Info from the pop-up menu; in the lower half is a section labeled Open With. Select Preview from the choices listed, then click Change All... to make Preview the default appp for PDF documents.

Open PDF in Preview - automatically in front of other PDF files?
I'm really fond of the 'open PDF in Preview' option in Safari. However, I have noticed that when a pdf file is already open in Preview before downloading a new one, the new one does not automatically come in front of the one that was already open; instead, I usually have to alt-tab to get the file I've just downloaded in front. Is there any way to remedy this?
Pahu, thank you. After reading your reply, I found a discussion thread called "preview opens fileopen dialog each time it starts", and the complete answer was there. Basically, just open System Preferences – iCloud, and uncheck "Documents & Data". I did get a message that all corresponding data on my Mac would be erased but the data would remain in iCloud for use on iPhones, etc. Since I don't keep any "documents & data" on iCloud (I only keep contacts, calendar, notes, etc. -- those are separate from documents & data), I accepted this. My problem was immediately fixed.
Thanks so much. -
"Open pdf in Preview" opens extra dialog box
From any app, when I select PRINT: Open pdf in Preview, the Preview app opens and correctly displays the desired page or file but... it also opens the "Open" dialog box allowing me to select a file to open. I simple click on CANCEL but this is an annoyance. Anyone have an idea how I go about tracing down the cause of this strange behavior? The Console reports the following 2 lines:

I have consolidate my folders related to the video I am in the progress of working on. Premiere elements does not follow their new location. How do I syn them back up all at once so premiere doesn't ask me for their location when I open the project
This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one. Then save the file. If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again. -
