Would like to re-establish Preview as default pdf program -

After installing Adobe Acrobat Pro, it became the default PDF program. I would like to re-establish Preview as the default PDF program. I have referred to preferences in each program, but can't get Preview to be default unless I completely remove Acrobat. Any suggestions? Thanks

*Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind*
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

    Wireless is "always on" with the AirPort Extreme. There are no settings to "time out" wireless on the AirPort Extreme. Those settings would be adjusted on each individual computer.

    I have a PC desktop and an iPad.  I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad.  I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device.  I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud).  Is that possible.  I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

  • How do I make Preview my default PDF viewer?

    When viewing saved PDF files I prefer Preview to Adobe Reader 7.07 because it is easier to make the print larger. Preview used to be the default, but when I updated to Adobe 7.07 it became the default viewer. How do I choose and set my default PDF file viewer?

    Hello,
    The quickest way to make Preview your default PDF viewer is to:
    1) Get Info on a PDF file.
    2) Under open with, select Preview.
    3) Click change all.
    Now all PDF files will open with Preview by default.

  • Resetting Preview to default PDf reader

    I installed Abode Reader 9 and now i cant use Preview to open PDFs. How can i reset the default to Preview?

    Thanks, the file however cant be selected in Finder as it is from a school website and is not something i am downoading. Perhaps it isnt even Finder that i require, jut whatever the original default viewer was, i dont have AReader anymore and dont want to rely on it. How do i reset it so Safari opens PDFs as it would before i changed the default to Adobe Reader.

  • Making Preview the default pdf reader

    For some reason, some pdf files try to open with Safari as the default reader. The only way I can use Preview in this instance is to save the file, then I get an option to open with preview.
    How do I make Preview the default reader for pdf files?

    the Change All option is greyed out.Sounds like you don't have the proper permissions. Under "Ownership & Permissions,be sure you can "Read & Write and under "Details" that you are the owner. Group is Staff and Others can read only.
    If this is correct, then try toggling the "Open with" to another app and then back again to see if "Change All" will become active.
    Also, it wouldn't hurt to run "Repair Permissions" in Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • Preview as default PDF reader in Safari

    I've posted to this question, but since my problem seems to be unique - thought it might deserve to be a new topic. I Have the Adobe/Acrobat-caused problem that caused Safari to quit using Preview to read PDF files. What seems to be unique though, is that Navigator and Firefox both work perfectly. It is only Safari that I haven't been able to restore to its previous operation in which it downloaded and automatically read PDF files. I've trashed everything relating to Acrobat, all appropriate plists, and changed the "Open With" to use Preview for all files; and still no luck...Safari will open and display the files, but will not download the file and let Preview open it.
    Thanks for any suggestions - this really has me baffled.

    Hi John
    I've trashed everything relating to Acrobat, all appropriate plists, and changed the "Open With" to use Preview for all files; and still no luck...Safari will open and display the files, but will not download the file and let Preview open it.
    After Safari opens the PDF, you ought to be able to right click (or control/click) on the browser screen to engage the Contextual Menu. There, "save as" etc. ought to appear. Have you tried this approach.
    Contextual Menu, in part, looks like this:

  • Set preview as default PDF viewer

    Hello,
    I downloaded the update for Adobe Reader and during installation, it over-rode my choice to use Preview as my default PDF viewer in Safari.  I've searched high and low and tried to change this from both Safari's preferences and Adobe Reader's preferences.  Unfortunately, the section to "click" in Adobe is grayed out and will not allow me to deselect it.  I also tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, but that just caused Safari to not open any PDF documents.
    Any thoughts on how to correct this are greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Eden

    Right or control click a PDF file you already have on your hard drive then click Get Info.
    Click the pop up menu next to: Open with
    Choose Preview from the menu or navigate to the Applications folder and select Preview from there.
    Then click: Change All

  • Restoring Preview as default pdf viewer in Safari

    Hi,
    I mistakenly set Acrobat 7 as my default pdf viewer in Safari and now cannot change back to preview. I tried to click on a pdf doc and set preview as the default, but that doesn't work for pdf files that I need to download.
    I reset Safari, and now it no longer asks me to choose an Acrobat to use, but will not display the download, most likely because it is trying to use Acrobat 5.0 that is installed and is incompatable with Safari.
    I just want preview back. Does anyone know how to do this?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    Tuttle,
    THANK YOU!!!!!!
    I was going crazy trying to figure that out. Most of my pdfs (scientific papers)don't print well from Adobe. I have a LaserWriter 4/600 PS that I hooked up to my Airport Express via a crossover ethernet/Farallon system.
    I'm writing a paper and really need to be able to do this.
    Thanks for the quick reply. You continue to save me.....

  • How to make Preview the default pdf viewer in Safari

    I installed Adobe Reader and now Safari uses Adobe as the pdf viewer. How do I revert to the superior product of Preview as Safari's default pdf viewer. Finder still defaults to Preview.

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy / paste:   /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • I would like to adjust the items in the "all programs" menu and group some together.

    From "start" "all programs" the menu that comes up is too crowded and some like microsoft office have another menu of the programs grouped under microsoft office. I would like to know how to group programs under a heading. There is probably a simple solution. But I haven't run across it yet.

    Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue.
