Setting Adobe Reader as your default PDF viewer
Category: PDF Reader | Nov 04, 2009 |

Whether you’re looking to publish on the Internet or creating documents for your
clients and business associates, you have no doubt encountered file conversion issues
between the Mac and Microsoft operating systems. It seems that, no matter how far the
experts have come in making files compatible, there is no guarantee that format won’t
shift and that typefaces will remain true.
To make things worse, these problems can arise even if both you and the reader are
using the same operating system. With type, for example, many basic word programs
have only a few of the major fonts installed and automatically switch to one of those
instead of maintaining the face you chose to use. Likewise, there are often problems
with photographs that don’t reproduce or print properly.
The solution, of course, is to convert all word-based files to PDFs before uploading
or emailing them. This process basically turns your documents into the equivalent of
photographs thereby freezing everything in place to insure that your readers will see
all the elements just as you created them — including typefaces, specialty borders
and photographs.
It’s no wonder that PDF documents are now recognized as the ideal electronic document
format for the Internet, intranets, emails, CD-ROMs and archiving. This holds true
across industries, with printing and publishing companies at one end and banks,
insurance firms and engineering at the other.
So, you may ask, why don’t more people take this precaution? There are two basic
reasons, the first of which is cost. For many years Adobe had the only game in town
and not everyone could afford the company’s expensive PDF conversion software. Many
of those who did make the financial commitment found that software difficult to use.
Instant PDF Generator is a comparable, lower cost option which is actually easier to
use then the Adobe program. It’s from Armand Morin, a well-respected software
developer with a long list of successful products to his name. His program costs
significantly less than the approximately $250.00 that Adobe charges. Additionally,
there is a simple, quick learning curve since Instant PDF Generator works with your
computer’s print function. As with any PDF conversion program, finished PDFs are
viewable through the universally available free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Instant PDF Generator is also easy to install, converts any type of document to PDF
format and includes some time saving tools like an exclusive email function. Plus,
unlike other software companies, Morin provides lifetime free upgrades of this product.

Any PDF reader can handle protected PDF files as long as you have the password to open the protected PDF.

Hi nitemare 1004,
No. Foxit Reader is a reader not an editor.

can i still edit pdf files like in acrobat?
Go to Control Panel ->Add or Remove Programs ->Then on the left side of the opened window click on Set Programs Defaults and Access ->Custom and then set it.
OR
Right click on any pdf file.Go to Properties then click change and select or browse Adobe acrobat reader then click ok then apply
control click on the file. Go to get info. look for something that says "open with". select Adobe reader. Hit change all.
i'd say uninstall it and get Foxit Reader
google it, it's free and it loads quite fast because of low memory resource that it takes
