How can I set Adobe Reader as my default application to open PDF files?

I am a user of Mac with OS 10.5.8. The default application for PDF files found.

Often when I get a PDF file, I can't see the content. It comes in white... except, perhaps for the letterhead. I have to convert the 9.5 drive Adobe to be able to view the file.

How can I set my preferences so that Adobe Reader is the default application for PDF files?

Thank you.

I am answering my own question. I learned that if you right-click while trying to open a PDF file, you will be asked which application you want to use to open the file. If you click read the information, instead of choosing an application, you get this great information box that gives you the ability to set Adobe Reader in your default application for PDF files. It lets you change all the pdf files, you already have the Adobe files. Yay.

  • How can I configure Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files?

    Overview of basic

    I have this work very well to my laptop at home, but I need this working for school projects.

    Whenever I want to open a SWF file at home, I just double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problem!

    However, when I'm at school I have to run in Internet Explorer, the file SWF, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are opened directly, they are opened in Internet Explorer.

    At home

    If I right click on a SWF file at home and select 'Open with', and then "choose default program...". ", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", so I can select the default value. (On my laptop at home)

    At the school

    In school, so go to "Open with", then "choose default program... ", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and other programs in the box of other programs. (On my laptop to school)

    Question

    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files (on my laptop to school)? If I select "Browse...". "and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", is the file for the program located somewhere else, or I'm just not properly looked into the record?

    I really need these files open in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know that you can set the view to 100% and do it properly sized)

    Thanks to all who help!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know, that I need not write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on and not a standalone player.  So what in fact opens when you open a SWF file at home?  Flash Player projector?

    If so, you must also download in your school, to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then make the file association.

    Hi Shortperson1,

    You will not be able to make changes to the PDF using Reader App., you will need Acrobat application installed on your computer to edit PDF files.

    Using Reader App you can only add comments to the PDF, not more possible editing.

  • How can I make adobe reader prompt me to wonder if he can close to closing if multiple tabs are open?

    How can I make adobe reader prompt me to wonder if he can close to closing if multiple tabs are open? Firefox has this feature, Acrobat needs too. Sometimes I leave the program instead of close the scheduled tab. I understand it is a human error, but this feature could be toggable for those who don't want it and it would help the people who make the same mistake as me.

    Hi Rhonda,

    There is no uninstall for Mac Reader program. You can directly delete the application from the Applications folder, which is just trash/Applications/Adobe Reader.app. Also, this can cause a break in the features of Safari to read PDF files using Adobe Reader plugin. To resolve this problem, go into/Library/Internet Plug - Ins / and remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

    CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe does not provide support for. But, I found the following on their website:

    "Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).

    You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15. »

    Here is a link to their Web site:

    CutePDF: Products: CutePDF Writer

    So it seems that it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript to PDF file.

    Best,

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open to incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Assuming you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make demand opening of default PDF Reader 9.3.4:

    1. right click on any PDF on your system, and then click the option 'Open with' from the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on program selected in this menu. (Where you don't see 'Open with' option, then hold down the SHIFT key and right-click on the file)

    2. click on the Browse button in the dialog box that appears, select Reader 9. Make sure you check the box "always use the selected program to open this type of file"

    3. click on OK.

    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDF files on your system.
