You can use the "write" default values using Terminal command to delete the thumbnails to open, copyand paste:

write com.apple.Preview PVPDFSuppressSidebarOnOpening true

    How to have the sidebar with thumbnails by default in the application preview?

    I'm on OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 on iMac, and whenever I open a PDF file, there is no sidebar. I have to every time click on the Sidebar icon, then select the thumbnails. I would like to be on by default, but cannot find the option or how to edit the plist file...

    If the thumbnails is checked in the menu 'View' preview, it should always open a PDF file with the open sidebar. Unless of course, it's a single page PDF.

  • Microsoft Surface Pro does not open in mode full screen without the toolbar on the right projection

    I created an interactive pdf designed for the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, set to open full screen mode. Recently, I think I did something for the preferences settings and now whenever I open the file: (a) I get a warning that it will open in mode full screen (I just want it to open it without the warning); and (b) the toolbar is always right if the presentation is not really in the entire screen. Help, please.

    It's kind of like a dashboard on the right side. The tools that are available are 'tools to fill & sign' (exoanded to: add text, add Checkmark, initial Place, place of Signature). Showing also but not expanded not is 'Send or collect Signatures' and 'Working with certificates.'

    I have been a little more troubleshooting on mine, and now I'm fairly certain that the toolbar appears because the document contains few fields to fill. I removed these items and now the file is opened in mode full screen without the list toolbar.

    What version of the operating system and Photos you have - whether you use pictures you don't have OS x 10.9.4 as you say

    Maybe this thread will be hep - they found that drag the larger window solved the problem - Re: Option to display the sidebar photos on Mac is grayed out.

  • When I open a PDF file, I get the following message "invalid plugin detected Adobe Acrobat reader DC will leave" I reinstalled Adobe DC but still the same problem, it happens with all PDFs. Any advice much appreciated.

    Hi Stephen39,

    Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all instances of Adobe Reader running and delete the entire folder to: C:\program Adobe [version] \Reader\plug_ins.

    Now go to control panel > programs and features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and choose to repair the installation.

    If you do not have a 3rd party plugin installed, try to uninstall them and see if the problem is related to the same. If it works, let me know what plugins have been the origin of the problem so that I can have a look.

    If all goes well, this should fix things.

    Thank you

    Hi lexabert1993,

    Seems it's a XFA file, which is not detected by the PDF viewers in the web browser.

    Please right-click on the PDF link in the web browser select "Save As..", now save the PDF on your desktop & open with the reader.

    I would like to know if it works.

    Kind regards

  • If I change the Smart previews without the original image, adjustments will remain?

    If I change the Smart previews without the original image, adjustments will remain when the original is located? (All original documents are on the hard drive of my client)

    Hello

    Yes, the adjustments will remain and will perform the synchronization that you plug the original images.

  • How can I select more than one bookmark at a time so that I can open and then several bookmarks - without the aggravation of back to the list and selecting and opening each one.

    My dozens of bookmarks, I often want to open 5 or 6 of them at the same time - maybe a couple of weather reports, a couple of radio stations, a couple of other Web sites. But I see no way to do this without laboriously find a bookmark, select it, opening the site, then return to the Favorites, find the second bookmark, select it, open the site and so on. There is probably a way for me to select several independent bookmarks, then open them at the same time. Thanks a lot for your help. Don

    Oh I see, when I read your question, my understanding is that you have Web sites that you are opening regularly you would like to open all at once. This is why I have proposed to create a folder with these specific bookmarks.

    However, your clarification, it seems that you want to open Web sites randomly here and there. So, essentially, you want to SELECT favorite sites and then open them at the same time.

    There is a way to do it. Access your bookmarks by clicking on the menu button drop-down orange Firefox (upper-left). It is:

    • Go to \Firefox\Bookmarks\Show all bookmarks;
    • Click on "Bookmarks Menu" (in the sidebar);
    • Use the CTRL key to select your favorite Web sites.
    • Right click and choose "all open tabs.

    It's always a bit laborious, but it's the easiest way, I could find, especially if you want to open several tabs at the same time.

  • Why open one of my favorites in the sidebar and how can I solve this problem?

    One of my bookmark sites always opens in the sidebar. Why? and how can I solve this problem?

    Opening in the sidebar is the default action for bookmarks created via a "Mark this Page" link or button on a Web site. Make sure you use many methods to "Bookmark this Page" located in Firefox instead.

    Right-click on the bookmark and select Properties, then turn off the preference for the load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

  • Cannot open any PDF file.  Download the tutorial who does not open

    Hi Judy, Letchworth,

    Please visit the below mentioned link and try the troubleshooting steps:

    Unable to open Adobe Acrobat or Reader PDF

    If this is not enough, then run the cleanup tool "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs" on your machine to uninstall the reader completely.

    Then, restart your computer and install the latest version that is single CD from here:

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Missing option to switch the display/music of the song from the Album or playlist without the sidebar

    Problem I see now is that in my music, from the Album view we will tell song reviews, the only possible way is by activating the sidebar. Same thing if I want to see my playlists. I never needed to activate the sidebar to make this appeal.

    Same for the television shows, by default, they appear listed by episode and not show or kind, again, if I want to switch the view now I have to activate the sidebar.

    Clues will be appreciated if I could be missing something...

    I agree with you.  I know, there was a lot of noise around the latest design, but I loved. I spend 95 percent of my time in the album view and 60% of the recently added.  I found the old, almost full screen view album with recent on top to be perfect!

    I can live with the sidebar, but it seems old-school. What I would love are some filters/translucent navigation that could be invoked quickly and get out of the road. Why are we stuck with the menus, side bars and drop-down lists in 2016?  Why are filtering, display and sort so often confused in a strange and inflexible way in music from Apple apps?

  • How can I open a pdf file... the computer simply stopped to open, will not restore is

    Have always been able to open attachments.  Don't know why, but now none will open.  I tried several times to restore to an earlier date, but that would not go through

    I think that a file is missing... so it cannot restore.   Thanks for any help, Christine

    If you do not have a PDF reader, you can not open a PDF file. Start by installing this.
     
  • In Mac Os Sierra why is he suddenly slow opening of folders of bookmarks in the sidebar of Safari?

    Since the installation of Mac Os Sierra I'm suddenly affected by a very slow opening and closing bookmark next to Safari bar files when I click on them.  Regularly, it takes 3 seconds for a file to open or close to display the list of bookmarks in a file.  Does anyone else know this?  Trying to solve the problem, I have repaired the Mac HD, emptied all my caches in the library in the Finder, reset the PRAM and am now ideas.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in the Preferenes system, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.
