Suddenly ALL my PDFs open in Photoshop... what happened?

When working in InDesign, to save a PDF I typically do File>Print>Adobe PDF, and Save.  I did this today and noticed the files are saving with a photoshop icon, but still say .pdf in the file name.  When I open the .pdf, they open in photoshop.  I also noticed that ALL of my PDFs (current and old) now show up with the photoshop icon and open with photoshop.  What did I do, and how can I set my PDFs to always open with Acrobat/Reader?  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 Acrobat then click the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    The way I moved from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 was to use "ditto -rsrc" and copy the user homes and the data share to an external firewire drive. Then did the same in reverse.
    I found the key to data and share permissions to make sure that the users had the same UID in Leopard that they had in Panther.
    You can then use "sudo rm -rf" to remove any folder from the relocated homes that you want. Remember if you do choose to remove "~/Library" from each users relocated home, you will be removing any iCal calendars, login.keychains, browser bookmarks, custom screensavers and wallpapers, etc.
    Users don't really care if they can login and do any work. But there will be much wailing, gnashing of the teeth, and anxiety, if they lose their bookmarks and wallpaper.

  • I just updated my iTunes and now ALL of my music is gone what happened and how do I fix it ASAP?

    Litterly 15 Mins ago all of my music was present. I - in fact - just finished using it to play a song. Then I got a window that popped up saying that my iTunes is in need of an update. So I update it then it said it was all up to snuff...
    So I go back into my iTunes to continue using it
    but now It's ALL GONE!!!!
    what happened and how to I fix it ASAP???
    ---because this is like 80g's of music man, I spent Months - MONTHS ripping all my cd's and formating EVERYTHING NICELY into iTunes just to have the work poof disapear?
    come on!

    But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
    However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
    if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
    "Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
    something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

  • Not all selected images open in photoshop

    I have lightroom 3 and cs5. When I select images from lightroom and open in photoshop sometimes not all of the selected images open. It might miss a random image or 2 or 3. All the images are clearly highlighted to open and lightroom confirms the correct amount with "selected images". Obviously driving me mad as I have to go back and try to figure out which image is missing from say 20 or 30 images.
    Any ideas greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    I have the same exact problem as the OP.
    Also running OS X 10.6.4. and have 12Gb RAM. I also usually open ~50 images at a time to edit in PS CS5 and there are always a random ~5 that don't open. I tried opening a smaller number of files (~25) and still I get about 5 not showing up.
    I don't think this has to do with bottlenecks, looks more like a bug. The files that won't open, are for some reason scattered, not for example the last 5 chosen or last 5 in the grid. I rebuilt and optimised the cat. several times, and always work with just LR3 and PS CS5 running, so no other progs are hogging the system resources.
    I'm finding LR3 very frustrating and despite the new features are great, it is more buggy and unpredictable than LR2.
    Are you all using the latest 3.2 RC? There was a bug in LR3 where files with an '&' in the file/foldername (or a few other characters) would not open in Photoshop. That has been cured in 3.2RC.

  • Nano 4g will suddenly not work with alarm clock. What happened?

    As of the last time I synced it, my iPod nano 4g will not work with an alarm clock. What happened? It doesn't work with mine or with my roommate's, and her iPod will work with my clock. My iPod will PLAY in the clock dock if I turn it on and hit play, but won't wake up and play anymore as an alarm. I tried setting the alarm on the iPod instead of on the alarm clock, and that doesn't work as a fix (it won't make the clock wake up). ARGH.

    Yeah, mine won't work. Just started acting up this week.
    It doesn't work at all. I can set the alarm for any time, and it simply doesn't go off. I got a replacement phone of the same LG Accolade model, and it doesn't work either.
    I switched the clock display settings, thinking there might be a glitch there. Didn't work when I changed it, or when I put it back to my original settings.
    Agh!
    Hi Robert116,
    Please ensure that you have software version VX560V04 installed on your phone. For instructions to view software version please visit this LINK.
    If you do have the correct software version a LG Accolade VX5600 - Master Reset may resolve the alarm clock issues outlined on your post. A master reset will resolve issues if any of your phone's system files became corrupted.
    Please keep in mind that a master reset will erase all data and restore preferences to factory default specifications. Performing a hard reset is only recommended when the existing data has been backed up or is unwanted. Please backup your information before you do a master reset.

  • IMovie is not letting me drag and drop transitions, music, text boxes. Worked fine all along and now nothing. What happened?

    iMovie has always let me "drag and drop" transitions, music, text boxes etc into my Project. This morning it is not allowing me to "drag and drop" anything. This is for a client and I am so frustrated. What happened to make it stop letting me "drag and drop"?

    I have only dragged Titles to the project. When I did, it worked best not to drag and release onto the video strip (like with the old version) but just above the strip. When you drag and hover above the strip you get a little pointer to the starting point on the strip. Hope this helps.

  • PDF opens in photoshop...don't want this to happen

    When I installed photoshop (CS2) I asked that it open nearly all formats including PDF.  I now want a differrent program to open PDF files and I want photoshop to stop automatically opening PDF files.  Do I have to reinstall the software to get this to happen?  

    Hi,
    No need to reinstall. It will depend on your current OS, but if you are using windows, simply right click any PDF file > Open With > Choose Default Program. Select the software from the list, and make sure to check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" checkbox.
    Please post again if you need further assistance.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • All of a sudden all of my open tabs closed. How do I get all to reopen?

    I normally keep about 8 tabs open all the time. Today, as I was send a birthday greeting on Facebook, all of the tabs closed without Firefox crashing. Now I cannot get the tabs to reopen even when I close Firefox and reopen it. How can I restore what was there when this happened? I think it has something to do with Tab Groups, but I'm not sure.

    Please also try this, if you haven't set new tabs: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''' (this opens your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]) and exit Firefox. Copy the '''sessionstore.bak''' and '''sessionstore.js''' files in the opened folder to another location and right-click each of the files in turn > '''Restore previous versions'''. Look for a time corresponding to the time when the lost tabs were open and '''Restore''' those. If unsure, you can try different time points. Please note that restore may not be present on every Windows 7 OS versions.
