Change the e-mail program that opens when I click on a link in a document

Clicking on an email address in a pdf document in Acrobat Reader, Mac Mail will open instead of the e-mail program I use, Outlook for Mac 2011.  How can I change the default program that opens when you click on a link?

Hi Meenakshi,

I assume you mean Adobe Reader > Preferences > e-mail accounts.  I did already but get an error message: "Error communicating with the server" when I try to send a PDF by e-mail (file > Send file > Attach to Email), even if the parameters are exactly the same as in Outlook.  Don't know how to solve this problem, although simple workaround is just to save the file locally and then send it as an attachment from Outlook itself.

But with regard to the specific question that I asked originally, I don't try to send a document as an attachment; I am trying to send an e-mail to a hyperlink address embedded in a pdf document open. It seems the setting that you referenced only affects how documents are sent as an attachment, not what client opens when you click on a link embedded in a pdf document e-mail.

Anyway, I solved the problem of the latter: in OSX, please make sure that in the native Mail application that the default mail reader is the application that you want to use ALL the programs/applications (Mail > preferences > General > default email reader), including Adobe Reader.  Once I put this in Outlook, click an address for e-mail embedded in a document pdf opens Outlook with the address already in the field "to".

    First of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
    starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
    Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
    Status bar.

    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
    Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
    Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
    Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
    work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
    Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
    the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
    You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
    you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
    others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
    is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
    the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
    Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
    decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • Adblock Plus is originally an extra window open when I click on a link from Apple Mail.

    When I click on a link from Apple Mail, an (empty) additional window opens. The problem seems to be related with Adblock Plus, because it happens when Adblock Plus is removed. Problem, all started yesterday (7/29).

    This only happens with AdBlock? Very strange. AdBlock to block pop-ups.
    Is there anything in the address of this window box?
    It's on a website, several?

  • Disable the feature of switching to tab, when you click on a link

    When I click on certain links particularly in gmail, for example, if I get an email from youtube of a video being downloaded and I click on the video says, firefox opens this link in a new tab, but the problem is that it will automatically switch to this tab that I hate. This happens with the other links that want to open in a new tab for.

    Switch to tab not more or go to the black list of the tab doesn't work. I got a fix for it in the comments: config page, but I've recently refreshed firefox and it removed the feature. preference, I don't want to use a plugin to solve this problem

    (edited for clarity - c title)

    Sorry, I'm distracted by the title of the question.

    You can check the tab bar setting in Options/Preferences > tabs.

    • [] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately."

    There are three prefs, accessible via the comments: page of config, to control the development, if you click on a link.

    • browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links)
    • browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript)

It's very annoying and can you please tell me how to stop it. It only started happening recently.
    Thanks - I hope

    I understand when you click a Web link within a site, two Web pages open instead of one. This looks like some kind of Adware and I would recommend looking for malware or reset Firefox (please understand that this will restore Firefox to its default values, and all customizations will be removed in a folder called 'Old Firefox Data' on the desktop)

  • to stop multiple spam windows open when I click on a link

    All of a sudden when I click on a link all kinds of spam windows open. I have 'Pop-up' windows defined on off... but, they always open... also suddenly online pages will have tons of highlighted words hough, they are links... and when I click on them, thinking that it is a link that's another annoying pop-up window. I checked my "plug-ins" and "add ons" and there is nothing I can find. I use Windows 7 and this problem just started this week. I performed a McAfee scan and found no virus... can help you?

    These files are not supposed to be deleted. Quite possibly user.js (thanks for the heads-up jscher2000 on hidden file extensions. A movement bonehead by Microsoft) had a content in it that made all these pop-up windows. The user.js file is not there by default unless you did so it is safe to delete it.

    Regarding the .json, those required by Firefox files. More information about the files in the profile folder can be read using the link below

  • I do not want Firefox to my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link of my emails, how do I disable this?

    When I click on a link of my emails, that it opens automatically by firefox. I want to disable this feature because I would go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together, but I don't want it to be my main browser not more.
    Thank you

    The only way to have such links open is not Firefox is to define a different browser, the default browser.

    This MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set a different browser like IE as default browser.

  • Firefox can be configured to open the Firefox more recently-active window when you click on a link in another application? Using multiple profiles.

    I think it's really a feature request, but I don't see a forum for this. I used to use firefox almost exclusively, but switched to chrome when I started working freelance for a couple of different companies - the identities of chrome feature really helps me keep my sanity by having a unique identity for each company. However, a problem has recently developed with chrome which brought me back to firefox. The profile under firefox feature seems to have gotten much better since I made the first move, and I'm pretty happy with the way it works... with one exception:

    With firefox, clicking on a link in another application, always opens in the default profile. With chrome, she would always open in the browser window that was most recently active. It's a very intuitive behavior, because everything I do in the other application (e.g. thunderbird, evernote, Skype) is almost always linked to whatever browser window, I had finally opened.

    Any chance to do this implemented? Or maybe there is already a way to do this? I found the following related topics, but neither helped with this issue:
