Windows Explorer can't be set to use Acrobat to open pdf

I have CS4 with x64 Windows. Because Acrobat 9 crashed at least every 10 minutes and it has downgraded features (for example, you can no longer replace a page in the Pages window by dragging a page from another document and dropping it onto the page number), I reinstalled 8. The only problem was that I had to start 8 before double-clicking in Windows Explorer to open a pdf file, or else Windows starts up 9. So, to take care of that, I uninstalled 9, but then the pdf printer disappeared. So, I did a repair install of 8. Now Explorer will NEVER open a pdf. When I do Open With, or when attempting to set the Open With in Folder Option / File Types, I select the 8 version of acrobat.exe but Explorer just ignors the selection, as if I had just cancelled out of the Browse... window. 8 works fine when I drag a file from Explorer and drop it into Acrobat. I'm sure there's a fix lurking here somewhere. Thanks in advance and Help!

I would suggest uninstalling Acrobat 8 and then reinstalling Acrobat 8.  Hopefully this would set your file associations correctly.  Good Luck!

    New to ipad, can GPS be set to use when on the road , ie not online?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    GPS only works offline when you have a Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad. If you don't have one, you will have to buy a peripheral to use GPS function and the map from the App Store, for example, from TomTom

  • Windows Explorer - How to select the first item once we open the explorer?

    Hi,
    In Windows Explorer - How to select the first item once we open the explorer using keyboard shortcut. I typically use downward arrow, it goes to the 2nd item in the list, then I again have to use upward arrow to go up.
    Is there a shortcut to select the first item in the list using keyboard? This is not specific to Windows 7, it has been the behavior even in previous Windows OS versions.
    Thanks,

    Opening a Microsoft Ticket is probably your best option. Unfortunately the change will not happen immediately and it will require multiple users to send in a ticket. I hope this ends up being resolved though.

  • Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents in the pages app?

    Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents from the internet into the pages app?

    No - and you can't open pdf files in the Pages app on the iPad anyway as far as I know. You can export a Pages file as a pdf but you can't open them in Pages.

  • Acrobat distiller (first use) don't open PDF file what to do ?

    Hi,
    Acrobat distiller (first use) don't open PDF file and give this message (in french)  : Erreur dans /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions : /CheckCompliance out of range Avertissement : Distiller ne traite pas les extensions de fichiers .PDF ou .JDF. 
    What should I do ?
    Thanks for your reply.

    No, Distiller does not do that job at all. Distiller makes PDF files, but it does not read them.
    I am not sure what you are using: Distiller Server is finished as a product. Distiller comes with Acrobat also - this is not Distiller Server.
    Acrobat Pro includes many tools for processing PDF files and can sometimes reduce file size. It can also convert to PDFX4 using Preflighting.

  • Can't use preview to open pdf files

    In the last week Preview has stopped opening my PDF files, it's like the  pdf that comes via email has no link so I have to right click and use "open with" and can only open pdf files now using adobe reader.  I have not installed anything lately so not sure why this has happened recently.
    Could a file have been deleted by mistake somewhere or preview become corrupt? Or a setting changed?
    Any help would be appreciated as I like using preview (seeing as it was my default program)
    Have also clicked on pdf file and did the I command, tried to change it as if new to open with preview and same thing an error message appears.
    Thanks

  • Can not use Parameters for Opening PDF Files

    I can not open pdf with parameter page like: http://example.con/pdf/1.pdf#page=20 that just get result alway open first page. Everyone can help me?

  • Safari uses Quicktime to open PDF

    Safari claims to open PDFs in the browser. That's great. But then it uses quicktime to open the PDF and only displays the first page. I know you can download the file, but there must be a way to change this setting.
    anyone?

    I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago; it started working correctly
    only after I re-installed the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in Version 7.0.5 -
    which is the application used to view .pdf documents. I also re-installed
    QT Pro Version 7.0.4, but I don't believe it was the reason Safari was trying
    to open pdf stuff with QT. Re-installing QT did fix another problem I had which
    was opening videos from CBS-TV.

  • How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time.  How do I get around this?

    I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs.  When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader.  I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions.  Thanks.

  • VPN to a Windows Network - can't connect to server using RDC

    I'm trying to connect to my office's windows network.
    I can connect using Cisco VPN but can't when I try to Connect to Server when specifying AFP or SMB as the path. I was told SMB is not supported and that I should just be able to use RDC once the VPN is established. RDC however is not connecting for me either. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thnx

    Check your System Preference settings under sharing,
    if your firewall is on it may cause issues. Turn it
    off and see if that solves it for you. If not make
    sure you're using the latest client (4.9).
    Hi. Problem occurs with and without firewall on. I'm using Cisco VPN 4.9 too. I've been able to use RDC before which is weird. I'm not sure, but ever since the last Apple Security Update last week...I have been having this problem. But I'm not ruling out anything the IT dept. may be doing. :\

  • Can Firefox be set to use the system default printer?

    I would really like it of Firefox would use the system default printer set in the control panel, similar to the way office programs do. Is there no setting in about:config to do this? Or an add-on perhaps?

    I really, really wish Firefox would change this, but I did find one thing.
    In about:config I set:
    print.print_printer to null
    print.save_print_settings to false
    Now it seems to use the system default. And it doesn't remember any changes with in a session, or from one session to the next. It always uses the system default printer.
    I realize different people have different preferences. But on my system the default printer changes automatically depending on what wireless network I'm on at the moment. I wanted Firefox to reflect that.
