Specifying what app is used to open a link for PDF

Hi,
I am trying to make a link to a file open up in Adobe Acrobat Reader and not in any other app like IE etc....
Is this possible to do regardless of what other defaults the users computer has...
Cheers
Rossco

Hi there
If there's a way to control that, I'm unaware of it. It's been my experience that it's the same behavior you see when opening a new window. Unless you are using JavaScript, it's totally dependent on the configuration of the viewer's PC as to whether the new window is spawned or whether they just get a new tab in the browser.
Cheers... Rick

  • Hello, Mac doesn't have or know what program to use to open cd designed for windows

    Hello, How do I upload photos from an older Samsung cell phone?  My Mac doesn't know what program or app to use.  The product cd is for use with windows.  What software must I have to open these files?  Went to App store, & there are too many apps.  Which one do I need?  Can't install the photos into Iphoto. I'm still new at this.

    Install Windows on your Mac or ask a friend who owns a PC to help you.

  • How can you tell what app is using a file?

    I have a screenshot that I moved to the trash. I try to empty the trash, but it says the file is in use. Is there any way to tell what app is using it?
    Thanks very much.

    There is a shell command (i.e. Unix executable) called fuser.
    This program displays a list containing all the process-ids (PIDs) that are accessing a particular file at a given time.
    To invoke it you just need to open a terminal window, wait for the command prompt (typically a "$"), then type fuser followed by a space and then drag the file from the finder to said terminal window.
    Once the PID list is displayed, you need to look-up the process id (the first column) with the help of activitty monitor to see the name of the app that's accessing the file.
    One final warning: make sure activity monitor is displaying "all processes" because the file is not necessarily being accessed by one of your processes.

  • Firefox keeps asking me what program to use to open file types even though I have selected one and checked "do this for all files of this type" going foward

    I am working in Windows and every time I open an attachment, Firefox asks what program to use to open files of this type. I always select the proper program and then check the box that says use this program for all future files of this type. In spite of that, the program continues to ask for every file. How do I turn off this feature and just have the program remember the correct program to use for each type of file extension?

    Regardless of your download preferences, web servers can trigger a download prompt by sending either the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' or the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header. You can check if that's the case by examining the server response headers in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Web_Console Web Console].
    For the latter problem install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if it helps.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/
    If the problem persists, post back here with either an example link or a screenshot of the relevant response headers in the Web Console.

  • Isn't there an app that can track what apps are using up your resources?

    There really ought to be!  My battery time stinks, I have to recharge my phone all the time, it's I took it off the charger at 8:15 and it's down to 84% and I barely used my phone today.  I've tried every suggestion I found on here and it hasn't helped.  The one thing that COULD help is if there was some kind of task manager like in windows that showed you what apps are using which resources so at least I could tell if there's something running that is constantly using up all the resources and milking my battery.  This is really frustrating.  I just checked and my battery is now at 83% and it's been locked this whole time.  I'm sorry but that is not normal.

    another symptom--after doing nothing but some light texting, she sent 30 mb of data in an hour.  That strikes me as being way out of line.

  • I want to put Lion on my computer but it asks what app I want to open it with. What does that mean?

    I want to download lion onto my computer but the computer keeps asking me what app I want to open it with. What does that mean? How do you know what app to open it with? Help!

    That isn't the way it worked for me.
    Once I download the installer from the App Store, I was able to open it and install Lion.
    I would suggest trying to download it again.
    If the same thing happens again, you shopuld discuss this with the App Store Support.

  • Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?

    Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

    No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.
