Word tries to open the file pdf

I had Word 2003 and Adobe 7 on my computer for an extended period without any problem. All of a sudden when I try to open a PDF file, it tries to open in Word and I get the small window "file conversion" opened in the blank Word window. Something changed that I can't understand. Please help if you can.

Please do not let your Windows version a secret.

You seem to have an error in your file associations.  Right click on a PDF file, choose open with, select Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader (depending on what you have; there is no such thing as 'Adobe 7'), check the box "always use the selected... program. ", and then click OK.

Update your program Acrobat or Reader, if you can.  V7 is old and has safety problems.

    Try to start your system from a "Live Linux" CD free.  This CD runs a version of Linux without installing anything on your hard drive.  To create the CD, you download a file ".iso" and feature "Burn Image" of your CD burner to create a bootable CD.  The advantage, that you win, is that Linux is a lot less strict with permissions, so you should be able to access your files and copy them to a USB device.  Some Linux Live CD are:
    Knoppix: <> http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html >
    Ubuntu: <> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install >
    Ubuntu is actually an installation disc, so be very careful to follow the 'Try Me' instructions so that don't accidentally install you it on your hard drive.

    An another boot CD, you might try is "Hiren".  It is in fact a version of "First environment" of Windows XP, so you could get access to some files that you would otherwise not not when starting on this disc.

  • Trying to open the files Windows 3.1 with Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    I am trying to open the files of an old computer running Windows 3.1. the files include MS Publisher, MS Works, encyclopedia Compton, & several other w/3.1 compatible programs. Y at - it a program or an update to Vista that can be used to open these files? What I try to open it & save programs on a version of Windows 3.1 & Vista before using on Vista? I can't open files from MS Office that have been made on a computer running Windows 98 or 2000. Any ideas?

    Windows has many built-in features to make it as compatible as possible with older versions, but Windows 3.1 is really a little old! You can try to use Compatibility Mode, but it goes only up to what Windows 95.

    To run an older program in Ccompatability Mode (as if your PC was using an older operating system):

    1. right click on the program and select 'properties '.

    2. go in the 'Compatibility' tab at the top.

    3. check the first check box and to set up the 'Windows 95 operating system "(which is as old as that).

    4. check all other settings for maximum compatibility (depending on the program that you try to use, some may not be necessary, but you should try each of them to be sure).

    5. click "OK" and try to run the program.

    Note: If you want to try to do this at a program Office (and other Windows programs), this may not work. Please ask for more help with this.

    Your files, you need to just find a compatible program to open with. Please tell us the types of files for more help with this.

    Hello

    1. have you downloaded the right file to library?

    2. What is the file format of the file that you downloaded?

    3. What are the recommendations of programs that provided by Windows?

    4. have you installed the player from the computer program?

    5 is this problem confined to a particular file that downloaded?

     
    The file that you downloaded requires an appropriate program to open it in Windows. That's why I suggest to check again if you have installed the reader program and also check if you have downloaded the appropriate Center books.

  • After update to open the files PDF Acrobat PRO 9.5.2 VERY slowly

    I use Acrobat PRO on a workstation (Windows 7 Ultimate - SP1)

    After the update to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2, all pdf files open VERY slowly (30-60 seconds). It does not matter if the file is local to the workstation or on the network. Also, the file size doesn't seem to matter or if it's the first opened file or a later file.

    Besides just opening Adobe Acrobat is all too slow.

    I tried to disable the antivirus software. No impact.

    Any suggestion is appreciated...

    FIXED – rather than trying to fix the program in its current state. I uninstalled Acrobat PRO then relocated to from the original media, apply the updates back to 9.5.2 and - Oh surprise - everything is nice and fast again.  Other than the 30 minutes or so to uninstall/reinstall, a pretty painless solution.

  • How can I prevent the Adobe Reader DC trying to open the files I'm trying to drag to a folder?

    Setting the screen double here. If I have a file on my left screen and I want to fly over this file in the file browser I have on the right screen while I have also another pdf open to DC in fullscreen only on the right side also, and even if the file Explorer is in front, DC will try to open the pdf file and my file will not be moved. If I try to do the same thing with DC not mode full-screen, the file is moved without problem. Looks more like a glitch than anything, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem, it would be great.

    Hi guys,.

    I have deployed Oracle P6 Analytics v1.0 on Oracle BI 11.1.1.3. I am interested in the analysis of the provided repository file sample (OraclePrimaveraP6Analytics.rpd).

  • I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc. Then tried to open saved files with IE and started acting weird.

    zip files

    I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
    http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htm

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.
