Plot/publish to PDF, no viewer driver

[Brynn C]

I've recently ******ed up my normal method of looking at the published or plotted PDF automatically. I usually type PUBLISH or PLOT, depending on what I need to do, and it opens the result in a PDF viewer, which used to be Adobe Reader.

 

Yesterday, the IT department installed Adobe Acrobat on my system, so I changed the default PDF program back to Reader, because it's quicker.

 

Now, AutoCAD says to me "You do not have a PDF viewing application installed".

 

Until 2 hours ago, I had Reader 9.x, so I updated to 10.0.1 and restarted my computer in the hope that it would sort itself out with no joy.

 

How can I tell AutoCAD (2011, full version on Windows 7, 64 bit) where to find Adobe Reader?

 

Thanks in advance.

Just a quick bump.

I'd like to know how to do this too, I'm always making PDFs but have to open them manually to check them.

Hi

 

I had the same problem a while back, with acrobat so I now use a free pdf viewer called foxit. Very small and neat viewer.

Well, I didn't want Acrobat, so Reader works fine for me. The ideal solution would be to get it to automatically open Reader again. It's quite annoying to have to find the file to open it each time when said file in a tree of 10 or more folders.

 

Thanks in advance, I hope.

Did you check the printer preferences?

I've got "Open in PDF viewer when done" checked, other than that, I can't see anywhere to check the .exe location.

Is what i thought of. No other ideas though...
