I can't get Adobe Reader 9.3.4 as default .pdf
When I double click .pdf it does not open with Adobe Reader (AR). It opens with 8 AR, but wouldn't print from 8. I understand it will print AR 9 and therefore to delete the record AR 8. However, now it will not associate .pdf with AR 9. I understand the simple trick of a right click 'open with... '. "and the navigation or by selecting Adobe Reader. I found the Adobe Reader .exe file and when I click it, it isn't select in default programs or in the "other programs".
I am able to open AR 9 and locate the file and open it manually.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit with Adobe Reader 9.3.4. Cannot be positively sure I actually deleted all AR 8. Thanks for the help.

PS Please reduce the jargon. I'm semi-ordinateur but savvy to be sure...
Aplogies to provide a solution focused on XP instead of a Win7-centric one. As I said earlier, the program you are pointing to is not saved correctly.
You can get the same results I described earlier by following registry changes.
1. in regedit: go to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name. (something like AcroRd32.exe)
2. navigate under its name of shell > open > command. By default, change its location to the actual location of the executable file (after ensuring that there are quotation marks around the location of the executable), press OK and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.
In all probability, your location for the executable file contains a space between the two, and the quotes are required to properly associate the path to the EXE file.
If all goes well, it should work...

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.

How can I get Acrobat Reader XI back as my default? I'm more able to edit PDFs with Acrobat Reader DC.
Adobe Reader XI could not change the files. Do you have Adobe Acrobat (not to be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader)?
If so, you should always have well if you have installed the free player it will open by default pdf files.
Check to see if you still have (or had initially) XI Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro) and we'll see if we can get repaired.

How can you get Adobe Reader Plugin for Google Chrome announcement
Hello
When I go into Google Chrome Plugins there are only 5 of them, but when I saw screenshots of others of their plugins there are only 18 of them! HOW CAN I ADD THE ADOBE READER PLUGIN? ! ? ! ?
Thank you
Hunter
Hi huntero70375715,
The Adobe Reader plugin is not supported in Chrome. The chrome team decided to withdraw the support of plugins like Adobe Reader NPAPI. Here is a blog that describes their decision - chrome Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI
On Windows, it is always possible to change the behavior to look at a PDF Chrome default by configuring plugins (chrome://plugins).
Please see KB: browser configured to use the plug-in in Adobe PDF
Them a workaround, please refer to this link Chrome 42 blocks Java, Silverlight and other plugins by default now - gHacks Tech News

I can't get adobe connect at work and microsoft has recently updated and then he went to the pot.

I ran all virus programs I can find, but it does not work. Is there a setting in the firewall that will allow him to work?
