SeaMonkey-related PDF's are still opening within the browser with Foxit. Is there something I need to reset within SeaMonkey preferences or helper applications or something??? -George Try makeing Adobe your default program for opening .pdf files. It is an Adobe Reader preference. Do you know where that preference is set? I went all though the Adobe Reader options, and can't find anything like that. Thanks, When you open Adobe Reader, does it give you a message aboout not being your default .pdf reader? If it does, select make Adobe Reader my default to open a .pdf. If it does not, try setting file associations in Windows. From a folder, TOOLS - FILE TYPES - Scroll down to PDF. It tells you what a .pdf opens with. You can try to CHANGE it to Adobe Reader. If you do this and Seamonkey works the way you want it, you are set except that when you open a .pdf from outside Seamonkey you will use Adobe Reader instead of Foxit. Does this help? Ummm, I'm not having the problem. I was simply responding to your comment in which you said It is an Adobe Reader preference. Perhaps I assumed too much in thinking you mean Edit - Preferences in Adobe Reader? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

So, theoretically, everything is set to use Adobe for all PDF's everywhere, including SeaMonkey, and when I click on PDFs in SeaMonkey, it's still opening them with Foxit. This wouldn't really be a problem, except I can't get Foxit to print some PDF's correctly...so my wife is unhappy...meaning, I may not enjoy lunch today. ;-) Any other ideas?
