Re: Grants.gov Adobe forms solution/Internet Explorer Adrienne Blalack 30 Jan 2008 11:59 EST

Thank you to James and to the listserv for providing these helpful hints for
computer users running multiple Adobe programs.

The PCs in our office (a centralized sponsored programs office) are running
both Reader 8.1.1 and Professional 7.?, with Windows XP operating systems. I
tried James' solution and it appeared to work until I downloaded the test files
from Grants.gov. It seems that Reader 8.1.1 did not get set as the default for
Internet Explorer, so the downloaded files defaulted to Professional when
opened in Explorer and subsequently saved to my computer. I know how to
get around this by right-clicking and choosing the appropriate program to
download/open the files, but I don't want to have to do this (and as has been
mentioned, we can't necessarily rely on others on campus who are preparing
the applications to remember to do this). Do any RESADM'ers know how to set
the Internet Explorer default to Reader when both Reader and Professional
versions reside on the PC? A Google and Adobe Help search did not provide
much help.

Many thanks,
