PDF files now have a firefox icon

WIN XP. Have you checked the settings of binding files and pdf files are oriented toward using Adobe reader. Finished uninstalling FFox31 and icons back to Adobe. Cleaned computer and clean up the completed installation. Icons remained as pdf two reboots and then changed back to FFox icons. Everything works normally, but the icons are like FFox. Have defined FFox application options to "always ask" temporarily.
I have a second WinXP machine that has updated to 31 FFox without this problem. Strange!

Hi CMBANA. I got exactly the same problem as you, and after much research could not find an answer that worked.

But I have now solved the problem of appearing in the form of documents HTML Firefox pdf files. Maybe you can try this, and hopefully it should work for you.

First, it was not quite a Firefox problem. The solution is also in Adobe Reader itself.

1. open Adobe Reader
2 edit - > Preferences
3. in the categories column, click "General".
4. at the bottom of the page, click on the button marked «Select default PDF Handler»
5 in the dialog box, select 'Adobe Reader XI' and click 'apply '.
6. a screen Configuration of Windows. Let him do his thing (takes a few minutes), and then restart your computer when you are prompted.

After the reboot, you should find that all your PDF documents are returned to being the Documents Adobe Acrobat and have the appropriate icon. I also noticed that in Firefox options request the option 'use Adobe Reader (default)' had appeared. Then, you can change the options of Firefox application as described in the earlier messages depending on how you want that Firefox to manage the document, for example whether to display the preview, download or open it directly with Adobe Reader.

Took a lot to sort out, but it works now. Hope it does the same for you.

  • When you open a PDF saved on my computer, Firefox will open several tabs for all of the PDF files I have in a folder. Why?

    Recently, I tried to open some files in Adobe to view on my company computer. They have been recorded on my shared drive companies, and everyone seems to be able to open the files very well. When I try to open the files the program proceeds to open Firefox and wonder through the internet, if I want to download the file. At the beginning it wasn't a problem, because it was just a minor inconvenience. So today, I was working in a folder containing several files PDF (about 125 to express my frustration) and when I click on a file to open it, Adobe proceeded to open all PDF files in the folder. This means that each file opened a new tab in Firefox and proceeded to ask me if I wanted to download it. As I hope you can tell, I quickly became frustrated because I wanted only one file and it would not stop opening new tabs to ask me the same question 125 times. The only way to stop it was to open the Task Manager and go forward to force Firefox altogether.

    I tried to update the program on my computer (it was already up to date), I tried to update the plugin Firefox (it was already up to date) to adobe, I tried the repair Adobe Reader Installation (it doesn't make a difference), and I searched the internet for information about the problem (I was not successful in finding something that relates). According to me, the only thing that I did is to uninstall and reinstall the program on my computer, something I do not want to make I already said that it is a company computer.

    If there is someone who can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.

    Then, you need Adobe Reader, the default application to open PDFs, instead of FireFox. I think that FireFox just started doing this, and it is causing some confusion.

    As well as the normal way of Windows to change the default application, which is not also known as it should be, you should be able to use Adobe Reader. In Edit > Preferences in the General section and see if there is a button "select default PDF Manager."

  • I try to read the pdf files that have been sent by email to me. They include the genealogy tables, but are too blurry for me to read. How can I fix them?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but I feel that these files have been created on a much older Abobe program. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

    Oh, let me see if I can include a screenshot of my problem.

    PDF files don't deteriorate on their own (unlike JPEG files, for example). If they were clearly before and now no are not then something changed in the display settings to make (under Edit - Preferences - Page Display), or they have been published by someone.

  • How to access PDF files that have been sent?

    How can I make / access PDF files?

    Hello

    With Acrobat/Reader DC you can view the files sent in the "Sent" on the "Home" tab option

    They must be in your emails as well, and you could access it from there also.

    With the name of the file, you can also find in the visit list too.

    There are several options to see the PDF files that you have sent.

  • Impossible to edit PDF files now

    I have Acrobat 5 and 9.4 on my machine. My work includes the duty to reframe and change PDF files on external resources. Lately, my problem is I can't open all PDFs with 5 where are all my editing tools. What do I need to get the files edit 9?

    I have Reader 9 on some machines with AA5 because AA5 cannot read a large number of recent files. If you need to change them, you're out of luck. There is a roundabout way is not that great and many wouldn't recommend it, but you can open the file in Reader 9 and then print the Acrobat Distiller printer. Don't know how this will work, but it might do the job. I'm also not what else you might lose. Tabs and such other markup will be effectively lost.

  • How can I edit a PDF file to have an expanded text box and more small margins?

    I just read a long discussion initiated by a guy who wanted to reconstruct a PDF file to print less pages. I do not ask this topic. I am aware that Acrobat 9 Pro will not recompose the pages in a PDF for you. as someone has said, it is not a word processing program. I want to copy a PDF file into a new file with an expanded text box and more small margins, so I can read it more easily. My view is not so great.

    I try to print a U.S. supreme court decision, for my study. The problem is that these PDF files of such decisions are composed of 10-points with generous margins, in pages of Folio-size smaller than 8 1/2 x 11 "." When you open PDFs of these decisions, you get the margins very broad and relatively small characters. Essentially, I would like to re-rasterize the document so it prints on my 8 1/2 x 11 "paper in a larger size of apparent type, but at the same high resolution as the original. Moreover, the decision that I'm getting is almost 200 pages long, so I won't do that, of course, in a page-by-page manner.

    I guess I could do it in Photoshop, in pages to blow and their culture. Photoshop does a good job of eliminating aliasing when you do this. But it seems to me better to re-rasterize pages of the source PDF file. If any player would be nice enough to explain this process? (I'm fairly warned in Photoshop, Illustrator and printer of computing concepts, but a complete newb in Acrobat).

    If you want just this for printing, one thing you can easily do is to crop all pages to remove the margins. For example, you can RP 2 "on the left and right sides, and 1.5" off the top and bottom. Then print using a Scaling of the Page to "adapt to the printable area.

    To crop in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Pages of culture

    Be sure to select all for the page range.
