I have Adobe Reader X and I can not open files, or print them. I keep receiving a fatal error-DDE server not found. I have tried reloading Adobe, rebooted, and nothing seems to work. I have no trouble accessing my browser, can print nonadoble files. Everything else is running fine. What can I do?

Hello,

In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:

  1. Go to Tools > Options (or Firefox > Options).
  2. In the Options window, select the Applications tab.
  3. In the Search field, type PDF. You should find Portable Document Format (PDF).
  4. On the right handside you should find an Action column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose Preview in Firefox.
