  • Business post - when I try to open Acrobat PRO, it asks me to sign in French - I connect then it says that I don't have a subscription.

    Business - account I have license for Acrobat PRO 10 and I have only 1 adobe ID. When I try to open Acrobat PRO, it asks me to sign in French - I connect, then he says that I don't have a subscription. I don't want a creative cloud account - I just Acrobat PRO on all 10 PC users of without access of cloud. How am I supposed to move logging?

    Summary: I bought 10 number of licenses for Acrobat PRO X. It seems to have installed Acrobat DC on each of the 10 PC. When I connect with my name of user and password Volume license when opening DC he says I do not have a subsriptioion. All of the 10 facilities were made redundant during the installation. I can't get past the login of creative cloud. I don't want the users to use the creative cloud. How can I let my users open Acrobat?

    Hi Patrick,

    There seems to be that some are in conflict with the authorization of volume license and a bench only. I ask you to connect with the Adobe support team.

  • BUG: Stop asking me what program I want to use it to open images in Windows 10

    Yes, there is another thread on this, but it has an accepted answer that does not solve the problem.

    In Windows 10 whenever you click on an image in Skype, you get an annoying screen asking what program you want to open it with. I have put my flaws so stop show and simply open the image.

    No, this isn't my file associations are not set up. I got them, I can double click on the images in the file Explorer and they just open, other programs can do that too.

    I even wrote a simple c# program

    Process.Start(@"IMG_03112015_100918.png");

    who has managed to open the image upwards with my associations - prove that Yes, you can do it programmatically.

    Windows changed how some API worked? Obviously. But you can bypass. It's something that should be fixed before Win10 went live. The fact that months later it is still a problem reflects really badly on Skype.

    Yes you did! Skype 7.14 works as it was intended!

  • When I try to run the program already installed files (including volume control), the system always ask what program I want to use to run it.

    I recently installed a new antivirus protection software, now at any time, I try to run a program he's asking me what program I want to use to run it, even for already installed programs. For IE, firefox, etc, it's simple, but when I try to adjust the volume of the system through Control Panel he asks me what program I want to use it to run only and I can not. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Look at the article on execution of .exe files.

    Article number: 950505 - when you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    You can make the default program using set Associations.
    1. open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
    2. click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.
    3. click on the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default value. (In this case it will be for .exe files).
    4. click on the change agenda.
    5. click on the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs.
    6. (if you don't see other programs or your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click Open. If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)
    7. click on OK.

  • When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.

    When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.  At the bottom of this box is a place where I'm supposed to be able to check who always says "use this program to open this file" I can't check this box.  I open office.org and it allows to automatically save in this format.  Microsoft word program has been installed on my computer and he began to do what I said above then my daughter-in-law.  I've since removed the Microsoft Word program, but it continues to make me choose program to open whenever I try to open a document that was created after she comes to settle the Microsoft word porgram.  Now, even if I had clicked on save in openoffice.org, with that I always get this box asking me what program I want to open.  Thank you for your help.  Marilyn.

    I guess the box to "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out, and that's why you can not check it out.  Is this correct?  Is this true for the two files that were created in OpenOffice files AND that were created in Microsoft Word (note that created is the same that that edited not)?

    In OpenOffice, make sure that the "automatic file name extension" option is enabled in the file "Save as" dialog box.

    • Click on "My Documents" (or open Windows Explorer and go everywhere where your documents).
    • Click Tools > Folder Options and then click the view tab
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the "Advanced settings" area and make sure that "Hide extensions of known file types" is NOT checked.
    • Click OK

    Find one or more files that is causing problems.  Which file extensions are displayed (3 characters after the dot in the filename) on these files?

How can I get rid of him. I have a valid license. What is the cost and benefits, the upgrade to Acrobat 9 professional to the latest version (I think it's X)

    No, X is not the last. In fact, X, as 9 is now unsupported. After X XI, after that XI was DC. DC is the current version. No upgrade price from 9 more, unfortunately. You can subscribe to DC, and this is recommended because it gets new features faster and includes future updates (probably will be necessary as Microsoft moves to Windows 10 edition when they feel like it, instead of waiting for Windows 11/12 etc..)
