I'm currently trying directory opus and it's a great program that I will likely buy. I had a strange thing happen today and can't figure out how to fix it.
I have set up a custom view that allows me to preview pdf files in a viewer pane. It's been working great. However, I got a message today that would ask repeatedly every time I clicked on a pdf file if I wanted to save the file to disk, open it or cancel. I clicked "open it" and it opened in a separate Acrobat window instead of in the viewer pane. Now, every time I single click on a file, it opens an Acrobat window instead of the viewer pane. I'm sure there's a preference somewhere that's been set, but I can't find it. I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0.
[ul][li]Go to Settings -> Preferences / Plugins, configure the ActiveX Document plugin and make sure .PDF is not one of its extensions.[/li]
[li]Make sure the PDF-ActiveX plugin is enabled and the PDF-Text plugin is disabled.[/li]
[li]Go to Settings -> FileTypes... and open the PDF filetype in the "System File Types" section. On the Advanced tab, make sure that Confirm open after download is not ticked.[/li][/ul]
Edit: I posted at almost the same time as Ken's advice. Ken's suggestion is worth trying first.
Unfortunately, I checked all of those settings and they were already set the way you recommend.
I did notice on the FIle Types/Advanced tab for PDFs that the "enable quick view" option is greyed out. Is that normal? Could that be part of this?
Unfortunately, this problem is making the program relatively unsuseable, as everytime I click on something to select it and see what it is, Acrobat opens.
I think this has come up a couple of times in the past - maybe try a search to see if you can find anything. I've got a feeling people found it was fixed by simply uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat.
