Why can I not make Acrobat Reader my default PDF application?

When I try, I get this message: "Adobe Reader could not become your default PDF application." No reason is given. I use Windows 10, 64-bit operating system.

Looks like I answered my own question. I just installed the patch for Acrobat Reader to version 11.0.14 and it looks like my request to make it my default program for PDF files will stick this time.

I had the patch on Adobe - Adobe Reader: for Windows

  • 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

    You can try to use this tool first remove all traces of your computer:

    After you remove WinRar, why can't the zip files?

    I installed WinRar, the other to open .rar files but I uninstalled the program today. I tried to do a zip folder to put songs in there and this is what happened:
    The record was made
    I opened it and stuck the music folder, that I wanted her, but after about 2 seconds, a window pops up saying "compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted," and I can only press 'ok' and the zipped folder I did just deletes.

  • Why can I not make a continuous sampling of port 0 on USB 6216?

    I have a USB-6216 of NOR. I try to capture digital signals using port 0. However, the only way that I can function is samples on request. If I select N samples or continuous sampling, I get the following in the DAQ SignalExpress Wizard error message both Labview 2011. What I'm not doing correctly?

    Error-200077 occurred to the DAQ Assistant

    Possible reasons:

    Requested value is not supported for this property value. The value of the property may be invalid because it is in conflict with another property.

    Property: SampTimingType
    Requested value: sample clock
    You can select: on request


    The 6216 not having a sample for the e/s digital clock as you can see from reading the specification, every time you try to use one, you will get this error message. Thus, in LabVIEW, whenever you want to do a reading, you must call a single value DAQmx Read mode single sample (or the DAQ Assistant, configured the same way). How many samples per second you take is going to be highly variable due to windows being nondeterministic.

  • Why can I not make my background of the transparent sidebar the way where he was?

    After you have reinstalled Vista after a hard disk crash, I can't get the sidebar to have a transparent background, the way that it used to be under the original installation. It isn't even an option for this in the sidebar help/Setup. I don't think I made it transparent voluntarily last time - it is all automatic. Now, I can't make sure, evenintentionally.

    I am now using Windows 7.
    For 6 years I have been using Vista, I never activated Aero, not to mention transparency. Reason: huge consumption of resources and slow down the performance.

    Anyway, you are not supposed to activate the transparency first before you can see the sidebar with a transparent background?

    Here is the tutorial to activate the Areo glass transparency:

  • Why can I not see text/images on incoming PDF files

    @I using Windows 7, 64-bit operating system. Until recently, whenever I received a PDF, text or image file, I always saw the content in my Adobe Reader X 1. I decided to buy Acrobat X Standard to use for my graphics projects. Now Acrobat is still running when I click on an incoming PDF file and get the gray boxes instead of the content of the document. I can't see or read the content of the PDF. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Thank you.

    Joyce Cruzat, [email protected]

    Hi Joyce,

    Please try this:

    1. Choose Edition > Preferences in Acrobat.
    2. Click on the category to the page.
    3. Make sure that display large Images is selected in the content section of the Page and the Information.
    4. Click OK.

    Who did the trick?

    Best,

  • Why can I not use Get LV class Default Value in a dynamic VI?

    I'm trying to substitute a VI that uses 'Get default class LV value' and get an error that I do not understand.  My parent, 'Message class of ANT' class, has two children - "Class ANT from the command" and "ANT-class response.  Children participate a lot of data and features, including the factory pattern that implements 'Load Message class' VI of the superclass (see image).  I would replace this VI with a version of command and a version of the response, which would simply call the version of the Message with their respective classes of the substitution of dynamic input and output terminals.  However, I get the error "Front Panel"ANT Out class Message"Terminal: type of execution do not spread of dynamic input to dynamic output.»

    Don't know how to get around it.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    -Jamie

    That sounds like a strange thing to do - what you will do is to return the default value for the entry class. What is the reason for the class loader of the disc? You SHOULD have already loaded the class in memory, because the output type MUST be the same as the input type (this is a requirement of dynamic distribution work, because the error is telling you). Since you already have the class that is loaded in memory, there is an easier way to get the default value: wiring a loop For iteration 0, and the entry class through wire directly to the output class, with tunnels on the inputs and outputs (NOT shift registers). As the loop never executes, the output is the default value for this class (see https://lavag.org/topic/15354-testing-for-the-same-class/#entry92502).

    Replace "to more specific class" with "class of Run-Time to preserve" will also work, but still, I can't understand why you try to do it at all.

  • Why can I not print a map to a PDF file?

    I'll http://www.atac.roma.it/ site which is the public transit system in Rome, Italy. If you scroll down and click on the green for Linee e maps and then scroll down on the next page and click on the PDF file for the e line engine, you will get the card for electric buses which runs through Rome. You will notice at the top of this page on my computer, it says "doc.pdf (secured) Adobe Reader".     You will also notice that there is no option to print the map. She did not used to be the case that I printed cards out of this site before.

    I don't have any add-on for Adobe reader software. I am able to print PDF files. I do it all the time. I did it just now, but when I open these pages I did not print option.

    I have no problem viewing the page, the Web site or the PDF file of the map. I just can't print it. Because it says 'Secured' would be to the average as ATAC. Rome wants all the world their print sheet?

  • I'm trialing CC but don't want CS6 set as my default programs. Why can I not set (box) CS5 as default?

    I'm on a Windows 7 computer with an installed version of Adobe CS5 Premium. I'm trialing cloud creative and downloaded InDesign CS6. I don't want that it is my fault, however. I tried to adjust CS5 as my default, but my computer will not allow that and keeps returning to CS6 as default. Several colleagues have a non-Cloud of the CS6 version and have no problem pointing to their default values, which makes me wonder if it is a question related to the cloud. Known solutions or issues known at least?

    What is the extension of the file you are trying to open this file actually appeared with CS5 Id and in what version?

    Just to be safe, check if you have followed the same steps mentioned in the screenshots below.
