What is Adobe Reader
get acquainted with my computer
Adobe Reader is a free program from Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/)
which allows to read PDFs (Portable Document Format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format ).
Receive more of the electronic documents that you find on Web sites, in emails, etc will be "PDF" files
Without Adobe Reader or another program on your computer that understands what a 'PDF' file
you wouldn't be able to see the document and to read it.
Here is an example of a PDF document. If you click on this and see the document in your Web browser, then you have installed a PDF reader.

If you see that the document is that you do not have a PDF reader or the link above has changed since the original post.
If you need a PDF reader, go to http://www.adobe.com/products/ and click on the 'Get Adobe Reader' button.

I used to be able to display pdf documents using Adobe Reader instead of Firefox built in. I tried everything that you suggest and what Adobe suggest. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (11.0.09). I went to the options of Mozilla, but when I try to change the settings of Document Portable, I don't get the option "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I get the Adobe forms but not for PDF documents. If I change to use Adobe Reader, it downloads and then open drive which is not I want. I want to use the plugin installed (I go to modules and it is installed and "always enable").
Help? This only started happening in the last month or two. I use the latest version of Firefox (33.0.2), Windows 7 (updated with all the updates, etc.).
I did a Reset Firefox. Then reactivated the plugins. Now he works with the Adobe Acrobat plugin, even if Firefox think (at least according to the Options-> Applications) that he uses the Foxit plugin. It does not give me the option to select the Macromedia software. But which loads when I access a PDF file!
As long as there is the work, I don't care on this issue.
Before that I started posting here, I already tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader, by removing the file pluginreg.dat, etc. and everything that I could find on the Mozilla site, the Adobe site and the rest of the web.
Thank you for all your help.

Open the PDF with Adobe Reader - wonder what must do Firefox - every time
Hello
Whenever I want to open a PDF file, Firefox asks me "that should Firefox do with this file.
I opened with Adobe Reader (default) selected and I have the box 'do this automatically... ". "checked.So, it seems to me that Firefox should not ask me every time.
Hi - I do not always want to ask; I want that he will never ask.
That said, I changed my setting of the option "always ask" and the next time I tried to open a PDF document, the open dialog box to ask me what to do. The box 'do this automatically... ". ' has been disabled, as expected.
I checked the box 'do this automatically... ". "and now Firefox is most requested.
Weird way to solve the problem, but it seems to work fine now.
Thank you -

I am running windows vista and am trying to install Adobe Reader.
My internet programs explore and the printer have changed the icon and the programs trying to open with adobe instead of their exe. If I delete then adobe, they work fine...Hi dabrown52,
You can check out the following link and try the suggestions posted by Linney MVP on Friday, January 29, 2010 19:03 and check if it helps.
If the problem persists, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling adobe.
You can try to uninstall all older versions, Adobe Acrobat , and see if the problem is resolved. Uninstall earlier versions of the application and then install the version you want. If multiple versions of Adobe Reader are installed on the system, remove all versions and install only one version.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. click on Start, type Appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click Appwiz.cpl in the list of found files.
2. double-click on the version of Acrobat or reader you want to uninstall.
3. click on Yes if you are prompted to confirm that you want to uninstall the program.
Note If you are prompted to confirm that you want to run the program, click on allow.
4. click Yes to restart the computer.For more information, please visit the following links:
