inDesign (indd) files are set to open with Acrobat Pro XI and I can't change it

Ive tried following various items of advice offered to people with a similar problem here and without success.

I had a big catch - up in my Acrobat where someone is no longer deleted police default installation used in context menus. Therefore Acrobat was seriously messed up. Adobe technology patiently walked me through fixing the problem but... Since all the .indd files are configurΘ for dΘmarrer with acrobat and I can't put to open in inDesign. The registry key has a couple of these entries number of Monster under indd I can't identify or understand what they represent.

This is starting to drive me crazy. Using 'open with' has no effect. Acrobat always try to open the file. The only way I can now open an indesign file must first open inDesign and search for a file. Fortunately there will open it this way. I have a house full of CC on this workstation and I am not thrilled to the likely hood of formatting of the disc and everything again. Surely someone else had had and solved this problem?

Thank you

Peter... I told you in my last post how long it took to repair... 90 seconds. Comrade in Germany who told me how to find the hive was on my Google chat online. It was as if he was beside me, tell me what to do. He also told me a few relatively simple facts on how to uninstall Windows works and why using it is a recipe for disaster if you plan to install a new version of the software that you remove. It was the beginning of the problem. Had, I used a specialized uninstaller following registry entries left by the Windows uninstaller, ($30 I might add) the problem would never have existed.

Peter... I suggest that the only reason to delete and reinstall is your proven method to solve the problem because the simplest and fastest method (for someone who is familiar with windows) is to edit the registry as described to me by a MS Certified Engineer. Frans van der Geest is quite right in saying it's an OS problem and just like you, he gave no indication of how to solve this problem. The own Adobe installer is so inefficient to delete the software, when I removed the version 5.0 of ID by using the Adobe uninstaller program, he left traces of the program in the registry and temp folders hidden under the Group of files 'user '.

Once I got the knowledge that I asked here but had to go to a technologically oriented windows forum to get the fix took less time than writing that took this answer. In addition... I now know how to avoid future events of this type and, if necessary, help others to avoid the tedious task of uninstalling software that traces of leaves scattered around the hard drive self while waiting to resume the problem (as it did for me) when a later version is installed.

I suggest everyone who experiences this problem to get your hands on a well known and reliable uninstall application and use it to remove all traces of the rogue program before installing a later version of the. I'm undecided if keeping multiple versions of Adobe software on your system of insecurity when you buy a subscription of the CC is good or bad but you provided unregister the software bought, you can always reinstall if you refuse to CC... Reformatting the drive is probably the only way you'll never completely rid your PC of CC, but seeing that this is the way of the future, why bother removing it?

  • How can I prevent it defaulting to all open with Acrobat Pro?

    Perhaps unwisely, I did a 30 day trial for Pro, and now that it's over, every PDF I open brings a screen asking me to buy Pro. I want just the document to open in the drive - I'm not going to buy the Pro. Is there some defect, that I don't know of? Other tips to make my life easier?

    Thank you!

    Hey Kevin,

    You can do a right click on this PDF file and select open with "Adobe Reader".

    This will open the PDF file in Adobe Reader.

    In my view, Acrobat must have been set as your default PDF Viewer and this is the reason why you are facing challenges while displaying a PDF file.

    Follow the steps above. I can't help you.

    In addition, Adobe reader is a free software from Adobe. If you have not installed in your system, you can get it on the web. Here is the link for the same thing.

    I have a document composed of separate PDF files that reside in a folder and are related to each other through hyperlinks. Each pdf file is configurΘ for dΘmarrer with bookmarks displayed, however if I have a link to one PDF file to another and use the "back" button to return to my starting point bookmarks are replaced by "vignette". Is there anyway to prevent this?

    Hi Mike,.

    While the implementation of the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you will not experience this issue, then you can simply switch to the file view and previous bookmark will remain as it is.

    Is that what helps with your query?

  • Problems with printing to PDF with Acrobat Pro 9 and FireFox 8

    The page that I use for my base is: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2010/12/google-ebooks.html

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and FireFox 8 is installed.

    The problem with FireFox is when I select a part of a web page and try to print the selected text, the first line gets chopped, if the text is small, the first line could even be completely missing.  It is perhaps a matter of margin but don't know how to edit it.FF.png

    I know I'm not very clear but if anyone has any ideas or would like more info please let me know.

    Thank you.

    I suspect that if you do the same process with a print on paper, you will get the same result. I got the same result with SeaMonkey, but IE8 printed the police complete in PDF format. Which suggests that it is not Acrobat, but the browser. As I said, suggests, so pay attention to your conclusions.

  • "The file you are trying to open is no longer available and cannot be opened.

    What is the point of having a "FILE LISTED, recent' on the homescreen of my Adobe Acrobat Pro DC if it does not work?  I click on a file in this list to open it and I get the above message.   Then the name of the file disappears.  The file I'm trying to open is always stored in the same place and was not changed or renamed or moved.

    It of the same thing when I want to save a file and try to save it in a folder in list AAPDC of recent files that has not been changed or moved.  I get the following message: "the location you are trying to open is no longer available and cannot be opened."

    I search all morning for a solution.  Thanks for any input or you can provide solutions.  I use a PC running Windows 7 Professional.

    Thanks Karl!

    After all, the problem seems to be that the file is in a folder on my car-sharing company. I'll see if our technicians can change permissions... .or I'll have to live with it.

    I see that the document is saved in my personal car, am I able to click and open from the list of Acrobat.  Of course, this is no help to other users of the document.

  • The audio files are out of sync with video clock?

    I record an audio book with premiere pro 2014, is therefore a larger file, then Adobe switched me to first pro 2015 and now it says that my audio files are out of sync from the video clock. I realize Adobe has no technical support so I googled a cure. They told me to remove CC 2015 and reinstall CC 2014. Of course, Adobe's download anything over three days old extremely difficult unless you are following specific steps that are simply in place to harass. Try as I could, download CC 2014 cannot be done. My question is this: How can I re - sync my files using only CC 2015? What is the best way?

    * UPDATE. Problem found! It turns out that when I opened my task manager my CPU or central processing unit, was filled to 99%. I just had to uninstall some programs needed and things much better brought.
