Automatically open .pdf in Adobe Reader Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, I had Adobe Reader 4.0 on my computer, then I downloaded version 6.0 and uninstalled the old version.
Since then, all *.pdf files no longer open automatically with Adobe Reader; I first have to launch the program to then open the file I'm interested in.
Does anyone know how I can open the files directly like before? (I've tried the properties with "open with," but it doesn't recognize the program in the list).
Thanks

I found a solution that might interest others!!!
With Windows Vista, you just need to change the name of the EXE file.
I modified AcroRd32.exe to Adobe Reader8.1 and after that, it appeared in the list.
This now resolves my problem!!

Best regards

hi
if the program is not on the list, you should be able to "browse" and find Acrobat Reader
and then check the box "always open this type of file with"

Thank you for your message, but I already tried as you said, and it doesn't work.

I also can't automatically launch PDFs with Adobe! (this time with Adobe 8)

The specific function for this in the properties (as explained by UsulArrakis) doesn't work!
The target software (AcroRd32.exe) doesn't show up in the window !!

I'm therefore forced to open Adobe on one side to drag my documents over! Nothing too serious indeed... but still a bit annoying because I need a shortcut on the desktop!! (and that's unfortunate)

If you can help me, thank you very much.

I can't read a PDF with Adobe Reader. The following message appears on a blank page: "An error occurred in Adobe Reader. Close Adobe Reader and try again." I uninstalled and then re-downloaded Adobe Reader.
Still the same problem! Thank you for any help. Marc.

Hello, Try --> Foxit Reader which is much lighter, set it as default. To get French on Foxit Reader, go to this --> link, in select product, choose version 3.3.0.0430, right-click on download lang_fr_fr.xml , save the target as, browse to place it in the directory --> C\program files\foxit software\foxit reader. After that, open Foxit Reader, tools, preferences or settings, languages, check: choose language, select French and OK. Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.
