Hi

You should be able to set Preview as the default using duti.

Here is a discussion to set Acrobat Pro, you just need to change bits to reflect for Preview

Not sure if that will stop the prompts but you can give it a go eh?

We use a MCX fro that (Casper v8.xx);

Domain: com.adobe.Reader
Key Name: 11
Key Type: Enter Manually (Array or Dictionary)
Value:

<dict>

        <key>EULAAccepted</key>

        <true/>



                <key>AVAlert</key>

        <dict>

            <key>Checkbox</key>

            <array>

                <integer>8</integer>

                <dict>

                    <key>OptionToOwn</key>

                    <array>

                        <integer>1</integer>

                        <integer>1</integer>

                    </array>

                </dict>

            </array>

        </dict>

    </dict>

Or you can push the com.adobe.Reader file.

cool thanks

One thing to note with managing Reader/Acrobat preferences using MCX: because Adobe nests the entire application's preferences under a single top-level key ('11' in this case), if you choose to manage this preference "Often", you will be discarding the user's preferences every time they log in, beause all of the user's preferences are being saved to keys nested within this key.

I'm home sick today so I can't try it, but Preview is already the default app, but nothing is explicitly declared. @tkimpton If I set Preview as default via MCX, you're saying Acrobat will stop asking?
