Setting Adobe Acrobat as the default viewer of PDF's in Internet explorer rather than Acrobat reader

I have searched the support for quite a while to no avail with this problem.
I am trying to view PDF's in Acrobat Professional 9 when I open one from a website for markup purposes such as stamps, etc. For some reason, when I open a PDF in IE7, it opens in the viewer program and none of the markup tools are useable. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have unistalled the viwer software and repaired the Acrobat Pro installation.
Thanks
Ryan

I think this good old tweak from Reinhard Franke still is worth a try:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6778d
"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
There you will find the full path to the program IE will use (Acrobat or Reader exe)."
And study this newer thread too:

  • When I open an email with images, Outlook Express keeps defaulting to Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to get the image, since I have IE disabled this means that I see no image. I have FF set as my default browser. Please can you help?

    I first noticed the problem 3 months ago when a virus set a proxy on Internet Explorer. Removal of the proxy brought the image back, but this showed that Outlook Express uses IE to get images even when FF is set as default browser

    I might be able to experiment with this a little.
    Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?

    "I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer."

    Any help would be appreiated.  OSX 10.9.2  iTunes version 11.1.5  Thanks!!! CW!

    From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options.  Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked.  You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
    Good luck

  • In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?

    Hello,
    In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?
    Thank you.

    Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
    GetValueOrDefault
    EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
    questions...
    To be clear:
    Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
    You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

  • How to restore the default view setting for FINDER?

    I played with my finder's view setting and I set it default to all..
    Now I want to restore the default view setting, how is that possible?
    Thanks!

    Go to your home folder -> Library -> Preferences. Locate the file com.apple.Finder.plist and trash it. Then control-option-click Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch. All Finder settings will now be back to the OS X defaults.

  • How can I make folder view the default view when I open Organizer?

    I just bought Adobe Elements Photshop and Premier 11.  I spent 2 to 3 hours getting my picture video library into Adobe's organizer.  I had some problems with duplicate picture (that I wanted to be there - so I had to rename them) and a couple pictures with corrupted metadata.  After I got all that sorted out I am a bit miffed about the folder view on Adob'es organizer.
    I love that you can switch to folder view - since this is how I have been organizing my pictures for a long time.  I would like to continue organizing this way for now until I get a grasp on the other ways I can organize them in elements.  However, every time I close and re-open organizer it switches back to the default view instead of folder view.  PLEASE tell me that there is a way to set folder view to the default view!  HELP!

    I am sure it is.
    - The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
    - The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
    - The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content,  totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
    So yes, the purpose is:
    - to speed up switching modes
    - to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
    - to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs
