Re: [Finale] new behavior

[Darcy James Argue]

Well, Preview is is the default PDF reader in OS X because Preview is 
far, far superior to Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader, which has become 
atrocious bloatware.  Preview launches quickly and renders pages 
quickly -- like, about *ten times* faster than Adobe Reader 6.  On the 
other hand, Adobe Reader features exciting advertisements for eBooks.

It's just that the Finale help files aren't compatible with Preview, 
which is unfortunate, because it means I can't get rid of Adobe Reader 
entirely.  So I set *only* the Finale help files to open with Adobe 
Acrobat 5.0 (the last usable version) -- everything else still opens 
with Preview.

Hi Lon,
Have you tried selecting all the User Manual PDF files in the Finder, 
selecting "Get Info," and changing the "Open With" to Adobe Reader 
(/Acrobat Reader)?  If your default PDF reader for these files is 
Preview (instead of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader), the help files 
will not open from within Finale.

Good point. I recently upgraded to Panther, and a bunch of things were 
set by default to open with weird apps. PDFs opening with Preview is 
one example, also all Microsoft Word files started opening by default 
in AppleWorks. Performing the edit you mentioned (and clicking on "use 
this application to open all documents like this> change all..." ) 
saved me a lot of hassle.

and oh, by the way: I can't get the User Manual to open in FinMac 
2005.  And before everyone starts spamming me with "select the 
correct folder in the Program Options," I've already done that.  
This is the fifth version that I've bought (since FinMac 2000), so 
I've been around long enough to pretty much know how this thing is 
supposed to work.
