How can I stop acrobat automatically opens when I download a pdf file?

Acrobat Reader opens automatically when I download a pdf file. How can I change this?

Assuming you are using Safari, in the General preferences, you have "Open 'safe' after files have downloaded" checked? If so, uncheck the box.

  • How can I stop Windows 7 open several instances of a .txt file in Notepad?

    If accidentally, I try to open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, I want Windows 7 to remember that another instance is already open.

    It was, in Windows XP, whenever you tried to accidentally open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, you would get a message that will tell you that another instance was already open. However, it seems that in Windows 7, you can have multiple instances of the same .txt file open in Notepad (without getting any notification). It is confusing because I tend to make changes to one of these instances given, and when I save one of these cases, I eventually overwrite the changes on other instances.

     
    How can I stop this from happening? I can't turn on a pop-up message in Windows 7 that reminds me that another instance is open? Can I change a setting in my Notepad file to prohibit the opening of multiple instances?
     

    Hello


    Opening of multiple instances of the same file in Notepad is by design.

  • How can I stop Firefox automatically open and forcing myself a second tab with Google sign-in everytime I open Firefox?

    Everytime I open Firefox looking for something - it automatically opens a second tab and forces me to this tab. On the second tab is the Google account login. Now, I avoid using Firefox if I can because I can't cut it.

    This also happens in Mode safe? On the Help menu, you can restart Firefox's safe mode:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    In addition, under the general tab in the preferences of Firefox, what are 'Startup of Firefox' and the 'Home Page' value?

    Original title: emails.

    How can I stop my email opening automatically?  When I connect my emails one opens automatically and when I remove it, the following opens.

    You can use other programs to get your email Yahoo and MSN, but quite honestly I wouldn't worry.  Don "t let open email" is more a matter of concern.  After the old Outlook Express spread of virus security, emails are no longer allowed to run the code on modern computers.  It is normal to see an e-mail, even if it has a virus, you can't be touched.  Just do not open suspicious e-mail attachments.

    How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano?  I use mac os x El Capitan 10.11.3 & iTunes 12.3.2.35.

    It takes your iPod nano 5th generation.  If so, this happens because he has a camera.  After Photos opens when you connect iPod, near the top of the window, is there a checkbox to Open the Photos for this device (or words to that effect)?  If you see this checkbox, uncheck.  Photos should be open when the iPod is connected.

  • How can I stop and then resume when you use the magnetic Lasso tool?

    CS4 on Mac. I have some fairly complicated selections to make and the magnetic lasso tool seems a good choice. However: How can I stop and then resume when in use? For example, I would like to zoom, start by dragging along the edge, then stop, move the image to a different area of it is in the middle of my screen, then pick up again where I left.

    Hi MarieMeyer,

    You can press the SPACEBAR shortcut to activate the hand tool temporarily once you are finished with the selection on a part of the image.

    Then, move the image with the key space key and let it continue with the selection by using the magnetic lasso tool.

    You can use the SHIFT key to add to the selection by using the magnetic lasso tool.

    Kind regards

  • When I download a pdf file, I used to be asked if I wanted to open or save.  Now, the file is saved only. How can I go back to be invited?

    When I download a pdf file, I used to be asked if I wanted to open or save.  Now, the file is saved only. It's really annoying, because the file name of the saved file does not identify it somehow, and I find myself with a bunch of unknown files on the desktop.  How can I go back to being able to view the file when it is downloaded (and so to save it on the spot with an understandable file and to an appropriate folder name)?

    I know you hate Adobe, but this parameter does not have to do with Adobe at all, in fact... This is an internal setting of Firefox.

    Anyway, change go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" in the filter field. Change the action associated with this type of file to do what you want, in this case always 'ask '.
