Would like pdf files to open in Adobe/Preview not Quicktime

Here is my issue...any suggestions on what to do/try? I have 10.2.8 with Quicktime 6.5.2 and Adobe 7.0(not 7.0.2) and can only get pdf files to open using Quicktime (this wouldn't be a problem except that only the first page can be seen and sometimes the text quality is very poor). I would like to click on a pdf and have Adobe or Preview open the file. I am using Firefox and really prefer Firefox over Safari or any other browser for its speed. Currently I have to save the document to my documents folder and than right click on them to open them with Adobe/etc. Another problem that I am having is that when I try to say do an update, like updating to Adobe 7.0.2, I am not able to just click on "download", I always seem to have to right click on the link and choose "save as..." or something like it, but I can't even get that to work at the Adobe site today. I have attempted to research both of these issues and have come up with a possible Java problem?? when trying to download, etc...with Quicktime 6.4, but I have Quicktime 6.5.2??? any ideas? Also, I thought that maybe by going to Adobe 7.0.2 I could have the option of adding Adobe as the prefered plug-in while browsing. Currently in "preferences" of Adobe under "internet" there is a box that WON'T let me check it that says "Web Browser Options...Display PDF in browser using:". Any suggestions with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Open the QuickTime System Preference Pane. Under the Browser tab (I think) is a button that says MIME Settings.
Remove the check mark next to the .pdf (Image formats) quit Sys Prefs and relaunch your browser for this change to take effect.
From this point on all .pdf file will "download" (instead of display in the browser).
Control-click on one of these downloads and choose whatever app you want from the "Open With" menu.

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

When pdf file is opened with Adobe reader, it shows extra whitespace after "w"

I am unable to attach the pdf file here. But my pdf file is having a hyperlink "http://www.google.co.in/". When i open it with Adobe reader, its shown as "http://w w w .google.co.in/", if the same pdf file is opened in some other pdf reader, the link is properly shown and i can click over it to browse. This is a bug in Adobe Reader.
Please revert back mentioning where should i attach the pdf file.

I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe reader issue.

Still can't get PDF to automatically open in Adobe!!!

I have read a few other posts about people trying to get/or stop Adobe opening PDFs from safari but I can't seem to get my to open. I would like them to automatically open in Adobe so I can print them out but when i click on them they open in safari as an external link and I can only print a couple of pages. I have tried changing settings in adobe by changing Open with (on file info) to Adobe and changing all. But still when i open in safari they open in web browser. Even when i right click on PDF there is no option to open or download PDF!! When i look in internet plugins in finder there is nothing in the folder so I cant remove that!! Im so frustrated can you help!!!

If you want to download the pdf after it's loaded in the browser, place the cursor in the address bar text and press option+return - that should force it to download the file.

Configuring the browser to open PDF files within the browser window
When you install Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a system that includes a browser, you automatically configure the browser to open PDF files within the browser window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader install ActiveX plug-in files that allow you to use Internet Explorer or AOL to open PDF files. If either application is installed, but PDF files don't open in the browser window, then work through the following steps to configure the browser.
Make sure that the ActiveX folder contains files required for web browsing.
To open PDF files in a browser window, the ActiveX folder must contain the following files: AcroPDF.dll, AcroIEHelper.dll, and pdfshell.dll.
The ActiveX controls should be located in: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX
If any of these files are missing, then repair Acrobat or Adobe Reader by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation, or reinstalling the application.
Restart Windows to make sure all registry changes are registered,

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend? How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

After installing/uninstalling Adobe, Preview not opening PDFs

I installed Adobe Reader 8 just to be able to read one lousy document on the Internet. (It would not open past a screen that said I needed 8.0).
I noticed that it noticeably slowed the opening of ALL pdf documents from the Internet -- Preview was much faster. I deleted Adobe Reader from the Apps folder, but all pdfs are STILL NOT opening with Preview anymore and they're still all slow to open. I tried putting Preview on the doc--didn't work.
What can I do to get rid of Adobe and restore Preview as the default?
Thanks!

Interesting! A combination of the two suggestions worked!
I did a right-click with my mouse, went into "Open with" and "Other" then choose Preview and checked "Always Open With." This worked with the pdf files only on my computer, but not for pdfs off the Internet.
Then, per the first suggestion, I deleted just that one plug-in and Internet pdfs now open with Preview as well! Just what I wanted!
Now I feel confident about deleting Adobe. Thanks you two!!!

Your file association is corrupted; reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will likely fix it.
If you want to fix it manually, tell us your operating system & version.
