Using Preview with Safari instead of Acrobat

I have Acrobat installed. All downloaded PDFs are opened with Acrobat in a browser window. I would much prefer that they be opened in Preview. How can I make this happen?
Thanks.

Hi Steve --
I think the following section from Mac Help (Safari) should do what you want:
Safari: PDFs now open directly in Safari instead of in Preview
When using the latest version of Safari with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger," PDF links that you click will now open directly in the Safari window for your viewing convenience. Before Tiger, PDFs would open in Preview.
If you still prefer Preview, simply Control-click the PDF link (or right click on a two-button mouse) and choose Download Linked File from the shortcut menu. Once the file is on your desktop, double-click it to open in Preview.
Notes:
• In addition to Control-clicking the link and selecting Download Linked File as described above, you also have the choice of using Option-click on the link to shortcut the process even further.
• If you do open a PDF in a Safari window, you can Control-click on the PDF itself and choose Open with Preview.
• Due to certain server configurations, some PDFs will still download to your desktop instead of opening in a Safari window.
• If you use a third-party PDF plug-in for Safari, it will block Safari's built-in PDF support.
As a general matter, if you want to use Apple's Preview Application to view all .pdf documents outside of the context of Safari, you can follow these steps.
• In the Finder, select a PDF document.
• Choose File > Get Info.
• Click Open with.
• Choose Preview from the pop-up menu, and click Change All.
Good luck.

    I too experienced the same issue.  Here are my details:
    Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port.  What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol.  At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally.  Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite?  I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

  • Using LastPass with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X 10.7

    I am considering using LastPass with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X10.7.  Preliminary due dilligence suggests various problems with loading and running the plugin with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X which appear to be unresolved.  I will greatly appreciate any user experience with LastPass on the current Mac OS and Safari platforms, as well as any suggestions (i.e., "tips")  for installing and using the plugin (or another more compatible plugin).  Thanks for your consideration.  

    Found this solution in another thread:
    Solution was to stop rapport, quit and restart Safari, turn rapport back on, then quit and restart Safari, all now working.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • "Safari cannot find file" when I use "Preview in Safari" in Dreamweaver CS4

    I am experiencing problems with AFP network users working in Dreamweaver when they try to view pages with "Preview in Safari" when Safari is already running. If Safari is closed and launches from scratch, then pages display correctly. This is isolated to network users only. When logged in locally, files display correctly whether Safari is running or not.
    I tested this same scenario in Firefox and it worked correctly each time. Hear are results from both Safari and Firefox for an AFP network user working on a file saved in their home directory. All four attempts were made from Dreamweaver using the "Preview in browser" feature:
    From Safari when it is already running:
    file:///Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
    From Safari when it launched from scratch:
    file:///Network/Servers/macserver.crhs.chesterfield.k12.sc.us/Volumes/User%20RAI D/Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
    From Firefox when it is already running:
    file:///Network/Servers/macserver.crhs.chesterfield.k12.sc.us/Volumes/User%20RAI D/Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
    From Firefox when launched from scratch:
    file:///Network/Servers/macserver.crhs.chesterfield.k12.sc.us/Volumes/User%20RAI D/Users/millersr/Documents/DW%20CIB%20Site/lesson03/santorini.html
    To make a long story short, when Safari is running the full path is not sent to Safari. We are using DW CS4 (but this also happened with DW CS3).
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed (including reseting PSE as the external editor) and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Using Preview with 2 monitors...

    I didn't know where to post this so I'm going to first try here in OS X Tiger forum so here goes...
    I just installed a 2nd video card so as to be able to connect my t.v. as 2nd monitor. Pretty much everything is fine with one exception...
    When I launch Preview (latest version), my picture window shows up on the 2nd monitor but I wish for it to launch the window on my computer monitor instead. I've got my main start up and dock on the computer monitor as well. I just don't see any preference anywhere that tells me to change this otherwise. However, if I use the old Preview software which I think is back in version 1, the picture window will launch on my computer monitor just fine. Anybody got any suggestions? TIA

    I have two monitor as well, a Cinema display and a 17" Sony. Preview opens largish things just fine and on the main monitor. But smaller things open so about 1/3 of the window is on the Sony. Earlier versions of Preview work just fine. Not sure what Apple did, but let us hope they fix it. Send feedback:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
    If they get enough feedback it is more likely to be fixed.

  • Sending an email using C++ with Add instead of AddBydisplayName

    Hi, I've been trying to send an email from my application using the
    GroupWise Object API, but I haven't been able to suceed. It only works
    when the destinatary mail is already in my contacts. So to fix this, I
    changed the code where they had:
    // Name to be resolved
    bstrName = SysAllocString(TO_OLE_STRING(szTo));
    // Add the name(s) to be resolved
    pIGWRecipients->AddByDisplayName(bstrName, vTargetType, &pDIGWRecipient);
    to:
    // Specify the class of message we are sending
    bstrClass = SysAllocString(OLESTR("GW.MESSAGE.MAIL"));
    VariantInit(&vClass);
    VariantInit(&vType);
    VariantInit(&vVersion);
    // Set class and type to empty
    V_VT(&vClass) = VT_BSTR;
    V_VT(&vType) = VT_I4;
    V_VT(&vVersion) = VT_EMPTY;
    V_BSTR(&vClass) = bstrClass;
    V_I4(&vType) = egwDraft;
    // This is where we get the Message Object to work with
    pIGWMessages->Add(vClass, vType, vVersion, &pDIGWMessage);
    I've been trying to work this around, and I haven't been able to. I can't
    work with vb, it has to be C++, so that is a restriction

  • How do I change my citations to use brackets with numbers instead of names,years?

    I created many citations and added bibliography at the end of a large document in MS Word 10 (docx format). Bibliography looks good, but everything else is not.
    When I click on citations, they don't go to the bibliography. Instead, they turn into fields with a pull down error that has 4 options: Edit Citation, Edit Source, Convert citation to static text, Update Citations in Bibliography. I really don't want to
    see any of that. All I want it to click on my citation and it should take me to bibliography to that reference document. How do I do this?
    I also need to turn all those citations into numbers in brackets and create links to bibliography. How do I do this?
    I have never worked with Refrences, so I please use plain language.

    Hi,
    To my knowledge, this is how Citations & Bibliography feature works in word. We are not able to make it work in that way.
    To achieve what you prefer, I would suggest you to use bookmarks
    instead of citations:

  • Help! Can't use Hotmail with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6)

    Hello,
    I'm using a 2003 Mirrored Drive Doors Pwer Man G4 operating on Mac OS X (10.3.9). To get online, I use Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6).
    The problem is that I can't send nor read any emails from my hotmail account, and my computer doesn't support my Yahoo account.
    I've tried installing Firefox, but for some reason, clicking on the Firefox icon to start the program does absolutely nothing.
    Anybody got any ideas how I can use email without having have to drive to my mother's everyday?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    There may be a current or more recent version of Opera browser
    which may be supported in Panther 10.3.9; few new browsers are
    available for the older OS X versions. And your older Safari is not
    a practical tool, since most protocols and security concerns have
    passed that older one by. You may have to read some of the sites
    where official downloads come from, for specific support info.
    You may be able to get a Mac version of Firefox 2.0.0.16 or so,
    from here: http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php
    If ones you try don't work, note the vintage of OS X you are using.
    The older browsers are no longer seeing security updates, btw.
    So, there may be some risks associated with older products.
    Camino 1.6.x browser appears to support use in 10.3.9 & Later:
    http://caminobrowser.org/ - not sure what your hotmail needs are.
    There is GMail for email, for free. It works well enough.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • PDFs open with reader instead of Acrobat Pro

    OS: WinXP
    A/Reader version: 9.3.4
    A/Acrobat Pro version: 7
    Issue:
    PDFs open in the Reader and not in Acrobat Pro.  I changed the File Association to open them with Acrobat Pro and it works fine for the rest of the day, but when I log in the next day it reverts back to opening in A/Reader again.  This is an issue because of the way we have to access the PDFs at work, from within IE on a server.
    Someone at work thought there might be a registry hack needed to fix this.  I have looked at the registry entries for Reader and Pro, but there's nothing obvious to me.
    One other thing that I have not tried as yet is to log in as Administrator and select (tick) the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option.  Maybe it might seem obvious that this is what's needed, but it was working fine prior to last week.  The tick is greyed out when logged in as a 'normal' user, but the tick is on too.
    I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry.  :-)
    Many thanks in advance for all suggestions.

    Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
    Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people.

  • Printing preview with adobe pro or acrobat reader

    When I print a document I generally use the Preview button to check what the document looks like.
    Is it normal that with Adobe Pro or Reader the Preview buttons returns the following comment "preview is not supported".
    Merci

    Yes, that seems like the expected behavior - I am not exactly sure why Adobe does this, but it happens here too.
    If it's important, you could ask on the Adobe site or send feedback to Apple asking why this occurs.
