Zip files and Adobe Acrobat files

Hello all,
I have a couple of kinda distinct questions that I wanted to ask. I hope I've chosen the right sub-forum to post them in. My questions are
1) when I try to unzip a .zip file in my Documents folder I get the following error message
"Archive Utility - unable to unarchive "CdnEnergy.zip" into "Documents". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)"
ditto if I move it to the Desktop and try there. This doesn't seem to be a 'space' problem as my computer is very new and I haven't loaded it up with lots of stuff. I have unzipped this file before (admittedly not on a Mac).
2) How can I set Adobe Acrobat to be the default application for .pdf files so that when I click on a pdf file it's opened by Adobe Reader rather than the Mac Viewer? I know I can select Adobe with a Ctrl+click, but can I set it so that it's always the default?
Thanks very much for your help,
Eoghan

Welcome to the Discussions!
The first problem is not obvious, but I would suggest using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Also, you could download the free Stuffit Expander to have an alternate unzip program.
The second problem is easy. In the Finder, select a pdf file and then select File->Get Info. In the window that appears, select the Acrobat as the Open With application and select the option to always use this application.

    You can see this sample driver program which use ADOBE form.

  • I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

    I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

    If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

  • The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

    The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
    Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
    For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer. 
    A good to have reference:

    Acrobat Pro and Standard DC are what are currently available for purchase. 
    Be well...

  • Playing inserted avi files in Adobe Acrobat 9 or later

    A user has inserted avi files into Adobe and it always worked up to version 8.1.
    Any version later than that, the avi files will not play anymore.
    Is there any way to make them play or will all his files need converted to another source?
    Converting them all to a different format would be quite the task as there are many videos involved.
    Thanks, Jeff

  • Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

    i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

    Hi imadb,
    Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
    If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
    If you want to evaluate  Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can't open files in Adobe Acrobat/Reader

    Why can't I open a PDF file in Adobe/Acrobat Reader? What do I do to fix the problem? My software list has Adobe Reader 11.0.02 and 9.3.1.
    I've updated.

    Adobe is not an Apple product.  Post in Adobe forums.  It's where the Mac users hang out at. 

  • Starting today, Firefox will not open Adobe Acrobat files in Adobe Reader, despite my putting Reader as default in Applications tab.

    Until today, I had no trouble opening Adobe Acrobat files with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an old version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express that does not recognize later versions.) Starting this morning, when I click on an Acrobat file, I am asked which program I want to open it with. Even when I click "Do this automatically...", it doesn't do so. It asks me every time. I went into Tools, Applications, and changed all of the pdf related issues to open with Adobe Reader 9.5. This also doesn't work.

    What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

  • I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9

    I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9.  When I attempt to save I get message saying,"Bad File Handle".  There are several pictures on this file I'm trying to save...dont know if that has anything to do with the problem, just thought it would be helpful information.  Would really appreciate any insight anyone has to offer.
    Thanks in advance

    I am having a similar problem with a simple pdf form.  I have made several changes to the pdf and when I go to save, I get the message that I can't save the file due to a "bad file handle."  I have opened, altered, saved, and closed the form several times before, just not now.  No one else was working on the form.  The file format is still a pdf and nothing has changed.

  • Problem with opening more then one file in Adobe Acrobat X Pro - nvd3dum.dll

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Arobat X Pro version: 10.0.1.434. Everything works great up to now. Last time I done upgrade my system to windows 7 64bit with SP1. When I open pdf file in adobe acrobat everything works great, but when I open second file, I receive this problem that Adobe acrobat stopped working and I receive this error : nvd3dum.dll. I have red somewhere that it will be due to driver to graphic card or DirectX. I upgraded them to a new but nothing, problem still remained.

    Hello Dave
    the Problem affects all Uniplot 3d Files. I start with an Excel or .txt file with 3 columns and uniplot creates an engine diagram similar to this one: http://www.uniplot.de/documents/de/_images/Uni_BSP7-2.png
    Uniplot can Export this as a .u3d but it can not be opened with Adobe. Then I tried to open the .txt.file with MeshLab. I can see the correct Points (which Uniplot uses to create the engine diagram) but of course they are not connected. If i Export those Points in MeshLab as a .u3d file, Adobe can not work with it.
    I do not know how to deal with this Problem. Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Error 1321.  The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file c:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Resource\Font\MinionPro-It.otf.

    I am trying to update and am getting this error message.  Error 1321.  The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file c:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Resource\Font\MinionPro-It.otf.  I am the systems administrator so I am at a bit of a loss.

    You need to log in as the administrator (seems like you are) and may need to disable anti-virus. You might want to copy the otf file and then uninstall that font, trying again.

    One of the available commands in the Action Wizard is Print (under the More

  • Opening pdf files in Adobe Acrobat within Safari?

    can pdf files be opened with adobe acrobat files in Safari? if so, how?
    any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Heather,
    Assuming you already have Adobe Reader installed, launch it and check the Reader preferences. There will be an 'Internet' section where you can toggle whether the Adobe plugin is used or not in web browsers. Safari will need to be restarted after making this change.

    Very strange!  What is your installed Reader version?
    Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
