• Change default pdf to OpenOffice Viewer?

  How can I change the default pdf viewer?  I have pdf to go, but QuickOffice is the default display.  Quickoffice does not appear in applications, then how do you change it?

  Menu - settings - Applications - manage Applications.

  Get QuickOffice, tap, scroll to the bottom and where it says, ' Start by default ' hit 'clear default values.'

  EDIT:

  You will need to go to 'Filter' and select 'All' to QuickOffice appears.

  The next time you open a PDF file, it should offer the option that you want to use, and you can check the box that says: 'Always use this app' when you select PDF To Go.

• is it possible to change default PDF directory?

  Hello

  I'm learning Contribute CS4 and I have a basic question.

  When I download a PDF file, Contribute creates a subdirectory named "documents" and put inside my default PDF files.
  Is it possible to set/change the default path?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  You can specify the file Placement rule in Contribute. Here are the steps:

  In Contribute after creating the connection to your Web site, click on change-> administer websites and select your Web site from the menu. In the administration dialog box, select a role (Writer/Editor/administrator) and click the button change role settings. In the change settings dialog box, select File Placement, there will be a default rule "all Microsoft and PDF files" should be published in the documents"" folder. Remove this rule. Now add a new rule, by clicking on the Add button. For PDF files, specify the file in .pdf extension, and then you can specify where you want to place the file.

  I hope this helps.

• Help windows won't let me change my default PDF opening programme

  My fault current to open pdf files has been somewhat like Microsoft Outlook and I have tried almost everything to change for Adobe reader or acrobat, but whenever I try it doesn't work.

  I already used the tool "associate a file with a specific program type", but whenever I chose the program I want, that it does not change, he said again that outlook.

  I tried also to open a single pdf document by using the open with command and choose the program from the list, but the option to set this program as default for that file type is greyed out and unselectable.

  It drives me crazy please help!

  Thank you!

  I've used the tool "associate a file with a specific program type", but whenever I chose the program I want, that it does not change, he said again that outlook

  It would have been my first approach as well. The option "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" in the important symptom here is disabled open with... Choose default program... dialog box. You will need to check and possibly modify a couple registry settings for this option. Here are the user settings. Look down to the global settings.

  Method 1

  Click Start or press the Windows key and type or paste in cmd , but do not hit . Search for cmd in the list above and right-click and select run as administrator. Make sure that the quick edit mode (ALT +Properties, Options tab, change the Options, the Quick Edit Mode) and use ALT +E, P to paste this in:

  Firstly for the current user,

  REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFileAssociate /t REG_DWORD /d 0

  Then to make the scale, the system

  REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFileAssociate /t REG_DWORD /d 0

  You may need to change the value. Press Y. You can close windows once you see the operation ended successfully.

  Method 2

  Click Start or press the Windows key and type or paste into regedit but do not hit . Find regedit in the above list and right click and select run as administrator. Navigate to:

  Firstly for the current user,

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

  Then to make the scale, the system

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

  
  Figure 1.0 - explore political register

  If the Explorer key does not exist, create it. In the Explorer key, create a new DWORD value named NoFileAssociate. Give it a value of 0 (zero). If there is already, just give it a value of 0 (zero). Close RegEdit.

  Who should restore the ability of your own user profile for the setting of the default programs with the Open with Explorer command permannently.

• changing default pdf export

  A large part of my job is to save a PDF file in Illustrator, my question... is it possible to obtain registration as / window coming pdf

  with my preset (ApogeeX) instead of the (lack of an Illustrator) and then having to drag each time than mine?

  Yes, you can record an action. My action in addition first prints, then save the .ai file and then save the PDF on the desktop and close. Record action recalls the creation of pdf, that you have chosen. I've been using this action since alteast AI8 and saved me many hours and really nice car saves .ai file, so you do not forget before you make a .pdf file.

  

  I inserted the flyout action to insert a stop, to slow down the action. Basically, this is going too fast can cause Illustrator to plant and tired to adjust the playback speed of the actions whenever you restart illustrator. This also works by recording on the desktop, and manually drag you the .pdf for the final destination file.

• Links hypertext files open with Pro even if the player is default PDF application

  Hello.

  I have a Windows 2008 Server x 64 I installed Adobe Pro X and Adobe Reader X on. I installed Pro first, then the reader, both with MST files, so that the reader is the default PDF reader. Drive indicates that the default program and if you double-click a PDF document, Reader opens indeed. However, if a hyperlink in Word or some other points of the document to a PDF, Adobe Pro file opens instead. I need to drive the default application for all references to the PDF files, but I have to keep Pro and Reader installed on the server at the same time.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Now, it is English so that the problem has been supported. I also had to disable the protected mode to resolve the outstanding issues. Seems ok now.

• How to open a default PDF with Adobe Reader?

  Hello world!!

  I used to have Adobe Acrobat, but I don't have it anymore.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Right click on a PDF file and select open with and then select the always open with button. You can get Adobe Reader and go from there. It is a feature of the OS, not a feature of player. For any other questions about Reader, see the reader forum.

• Downloading Firefox, all my saved PDF documents have been turned into a Google Chrome document format, WHY? I want them all change to PDF, HOW?

  Downloading Firefox, all my saved PDF documents have been turned into a Google Chrome document format, WHY? WHY a person like me is not notified before that starts the download process so that they have a chance to 'place' or 'Cancel' the download process? I want that they all be changed to PDF, HOW should I do this?

  Nothing happened to your files. The association for PDF files is messed up, or is the icon cache.

  1. Click round Windows logo in the taskbar and choose default programs.
  2. Click "associate any type of file or Protocol with a program.
  3. Select PDF from the list, then click on change program button.
  4. Choose the program that you want to manage PDF files. By clicking on the files PDF in Windows Explorer or the desktop then open them in this application.

  To clear the cache of the icon, see the directions to

  As far as I know, Firefox does not have PDF files somehow. There is a proposal to associate files PDF in Firefox when they are not already associated with an application, but has not been implemented to date (bug 787674).

  Once a week, I download a zip file which has files mp3 and pdf inside (about 8 of each). Last week when downloading, my computer asked if I would make Guitar Pro 6 the program default for opening these files (this program was open at the time)...

I tried to browse and select the appropriate program to perform this action, but the choice I am presented do not seem to like the good. I like Adobe, Guitar Pro and IE8 as a choice and I chose IE8 with disastrous results. IE8 a few trys repeatedly to open the zip file with a loop effect. Now that I try to system restore and my computer tells me that the restore was not successful. Help! I just need to know how to correct the default action for the opening of the downloaded zip files.

• How to reset Internet default PDF Progrm back to Adobe?

  I recently did a download and it comes with a download of another PDF reader program.  I had been successfully using my installed Adobe Reader X in the past.  Downloads are not useful, so I removed the.  Now, using Internet Exployer, when I go on a website that allows to display a daughter PDF using Adobe on the screen, the system complains that it is looking for the PDF reader program which has been deleted.

  I tried the solution that I found using google which says: right-click on an existing PDF file, select OPEN WITH, and select Adobe Reader as my program to use with PDF files.   I tried the internet and that did not work!  I thought I could delete Adobe Reader and download it again to put things back to the way it was, but read where it did not work.  Did a restore to a time before downloading problem was but no change.  Any suggestion is appreciated.  (OS XP - Pro)

  Just to be sure: you also installed after download?  That really he should again be your default PDF Viewer.
