Acrobat 64-Bit

[medimetriks]

This worked great for making the 32-bit version of Acrobat Reader the default for PDFs but Acrobat Reader updated to the 64-Bit and this no longer works.

Any ideas how to make the 64-bit version the default?

[Danyfirex]

Hello, Are you sure is x64 version using same programId?

[medimetriks]

I am not sure how to tell. I had the 32-bit version installed, it automatically updated to the 64-bit version. I then manually changed the default reader to be MS Edge as a test, then when I try to use the powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& { . C:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'AcroExch.Document.DC' '.pdf' }" command it does not change the default reader.

I suppose it probably changed the program Id. I'm traveling, anyway I'll check next week and try to find a solution.

Hello @medimetriks I get it working with this ProgramId Acrobat.Document.DC

I run it like this:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& { . .\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'Acrobat.Document.DC' '.pdf' }"

let me know if it works. Sorry for delay I just arrived a couple of hours ago.

I'm away for the weekend, I'll try it on Monday.

I just tried your suggestion but it still is not changing the default PDF viewer to Acrobat DC 64-bit version. My test computer is a 64-bit Windows 11 (21H2) Surface Pro tablet. Here is exactly what I did. 1. Installed the 32-bit version of Acrobat DC 2. Copied the SFTA.ps1 into c:\install folder 3. Executed your original code of powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& { . C:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'AcroExch.Document.DC' '.pdf' }" a. At this point Acrobat DC was the default PDF viewer. 4. Acrobat DC updated to the 64-Bit version on its own 5. I changed the default PDF viewer back to MS Edge browser manually (Open width with the always open check box checked) 6. I then executed powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& { . C:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'AcroExch.Document.DC' '.pdf' }" command but it did not change the default viewer 7. I then tried your last suggestion of executing powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& { . C:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA ''Acrobat.Document.DC' '.pdf' }" but the default viewer is still MS Edge browser. I am going to try uninstalling Acrobat DC, then directly installing the 64-Bit version of Acrobat DC, then trying to set the default viewer. Any other suggestions?

Could you run using -Verbose to check if It's failing? and paste console output here,

[medimetriks]

Is the –Verbose part of the Powershell command? When I try to add it I get the following: C:\Users\MediRep>powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Verbose -command ""&" {. c:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'Acrobat.Document.DC' '.pdf'}"

this:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Verbose -command ""&" {. c:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'Acrobat.Document.DC' '.pdf' -Verbose}"

[medimetriks]

It doesn’t like the –Verbose. See below. C:\Users\MediRep>powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Verbose -command ""&" {. c:\install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'Acrobat.Document.DC' '.pdf' -Verbose}"

It seems to be the error was the PowerShell command line call. You can remove -verbose string.
