PDF Adobe Reader by default manager process

Currently, we use Adobe Reader XI in a Windows 7 environment but have recently been deploying PowerPDF of shade to complete. Adobe Reader XI is still the default, but some sites have had problems - we found the solution is to open Adobe Reader, select Edition-> general Preferences and click Select Manager of default PDF. This solves our problem by running a Setup program and eventually fix any files have been modified by the PowerPDF, same if PowerPDF was never defined as the default value.

The problem is that we do for over 900 users in several offices. Y at - it a command or an automated way to run this process through Group Policy or a script? It is not as simple to select only a default file association, that he must perform as exactly the processes of whatever by clicking on "select default PDF handler" don't. Thank you!

While comparing registry PowerPDF install vs the default PDF Manager process I think I could find a solution to the issue - it is the result of the install of PowerPDF deletion of a registry key.

With XI of Adobe installed before PowerPDF, the following key exists:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content-MIME/pdf

It contains the following strings:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content MIME/pdf\Extension: ".pdf".

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content MIME/pdf\CLSID: "{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}.

When installing PowerPDF, I confirmed that the whole key for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content MIME/pdf is removed, even if PowerPDF is configured to not be by default in the Customization Wizard of their. I could see that running Adobe "Select default PDF Manager" adds the back, the question of fixing. Fortunately, adding back registry keys are an easy solution.

  • How to make Acrobat Reade by default Android application for PDF files?

    16.3 currently using. For some reason, it is not a default application to open PDF (for example from the downloaded folder) files. My Tablet says that it cannot open a file (I have no other installed pdf viewer, even google one is deleted). I don't see any option to make Adobe Reader by default.

    Hi wrooot

    I think that to do this, you must change the default application settings in your Android phone.

    For this, you can try and see if the measures help:

    Go to settings > applications > all and then select the currently associated application and remove it as default and press default clear.

    Doing so now when you open your file, you will be asked to choose a default App again.

    Let me know if it works or you need help.

    Kind regards

  • PDF files opens with Adobe Reader.

    When I double click on a file PDF Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds and then closes.  The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

    Three things to try...

    1. Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    2. You can open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
    3. It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe Reader 9.4.0 Customization

    Hi all!

    Now, this is a funny question, we try to deploy the new Adobe Reader software without certain features (i.e. the shortcut on the desktop, disabled EULA) by using the Customization Wizard, but each attempt failed despite checking and rechecking the settings, there always seems to be something wrong with the custom package.

    There are the known bugs with the Adobe 9 Customization Wizard when it comes to create a package for the new 9.4.9 Reader?

    Mounting far 9.4.0 MSI doesn't have, running the 9.4.0 .exe switch nos_ne and then amending AcroRead.msi also had similar problems.

    Hello

    Installation is not personalized according to your settings or the installation fails completely?

    Can you try to create a transform and then install Adobe Reader using the created processing.

    1. open Adobe Customization Wizard 9

    2. open the package, i.e. the MSI extracts

    3. change the required settings and click on generate > transform

    4. try to install using the created transformation (xyz.mst) - msiexec /i TRANSFORMS = xyz.mst
