Why do pdf's imported into ibooks open in adobe reader?

I imported a PDF file into iBooks, expecting it to behave as the other books in there.
However, when I go to open the book, it is opened in adobe acrobat instead - why is that? I don't see anything in the preferences?
If importing a PDF into iBooks doesn't add the iBooks experience for bookmarks, highlights, etc., what is the purpose? Is it just for organization? That would seem rather less than interesting.
Thanks,
Robert

Hello,
Do all PDFs open in Firefox now? If so then it seems your Default Programs have been changed in Windows.
If you have a PDF file saved on your computer handy:
# Right click on the PDF and Properties
# Under the General tab, beside "Opens with" is probably Firefox, click the button "Change"
# Select Adobe Reader and press "OK"
Alternatively if you cannot find a PDF file saved on your computer:
# Go to Start > Control Panel > Default Programs
# Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program
# Scroll until you find the filetype ".pdf"
# Click the "Change program..." button
# Select Adobe Reader followed by "OK"
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

  • How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'?  And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open?  When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99.  I never wanted Acrobat.  How can I get -

    How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • How to get the PDF documents that are currently opened in Adobe Reader?

    When a PDf file is opened in adobe reader, how can we know the details of the file which is currently opened.
    If I want a copy the PDF document to get saved on desktop automatically without asking to user, How can I do this in c#?
    If there are many PDF files opened, then also, I have to get all the details of PDF documents  which are opened.
    Thank You...

  • Attaching pdf files they do not open in adobe reader?

    I just downloaded Mozilla as browser due to the many issues with IE. Now when attaching PDF files or trying to read PDF files they show up as a Mozilla icon or do not open with Adobe Acrobat.

    Hi bboedeke,
    That is because Firefox is set as default program for opening .pdf files by Windows.
    There are two ways to change it.
    1,
    Right click on any pdf file --> choose "Open With" --> choose "Choose Default Program" --> now choose the application that you want to set as default for opening .pdf (in this case, Adobe reader.)
    2,

  • PDF file is distorted when opened in Adobe Reader, but not in Photoshop.

    I used Photoshop to create a PSD file with multiple layers, then saved as PDF.  When then using Adobe Reader to open the PDF, the layers look different.  What is causing this and how do you fix?

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • How can I move PDF email attachments into ibooks?

    How can I move PDF email attachments into iBooks?

    When you tap on the PDF to open it, a curved arrow icon will appear in the upper right corner. Tap that icon and the option to "Open In" appears. Select that option - tap open in - and you can select iBooks from there.

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
    There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

  • Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

    Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

    FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
    Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

  • How to paste into PDF form opened by Adobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I need to fill out and fax a PDF form online that I've opened with Adobe Reader 9. Typing in the information is straightforward enough, however I can't seem to be able to paste onto the form. Is there some feature that I need to change that will enable me to do this?
    I know the alternative is to print out the form and then fill it out but my preference is to do this online, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you mean "open in full screen mode"?
    If so there is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
    The script is in buttons to show the separate functions, but you can combine the ones you want in the docReady event.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I save/download a PDF file  as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

    When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
    Why is this?
    And how can I fix it?
    I really need PDF files for school and work.

    What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
    Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

    Try tapping the pdf and pressing "open in". This should allow you to open your pdf in reader. Let me know if this does not work for you.

  • Adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

    adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

    Sorry
    should be “displaying”
    Like when open a drawing pdf which is inserted into Excel(office 365) as an object, some lines, dimensions with remark can not be displayed and only few graph can be displayed.
    But if the drawing is a separate PDF file, not inserted into Excel(office 365)as an object, the Adobe XI reader can always open it with all graphs, figures, texts, lines etc. smoothly.
