can open pdf files with acrobat reader #295

Hello, I cannot open pdf files using Adobe Reader DC 2020.009.20065 (set as default for pdf files). When I double click on a pdf file in tablacus it adobe doesn't open the file. Instead if I do the same from windows file manager it works correctly.

More info: when I try from tablacus I see in the windows task manager that there are two adobe processes, but no window is opened. I also see the same two processes from windows file manager, but the window is opened correctly, showing the pdf file.

In the task manager I noticed a difference: there is a column called "UAC Virtualization". When launched from tablacus it is "not allowed", while when launched from windows file manager is "disabled". I don't know if this means something or not.

This is my config: TE64 20.5.23 Win 10.0.18363 WS 300 Admin IE11 it_it 96 Windows Defender foldersettings,multiprocess,mouse,key,mainmenu,titlebar,tabplus,innerback,innerforward,inneraddressbar,innersearchbar,innerrefresh,innerup,innernewfolder,split,gridlines,fullpathbar,findfiles,undoclosetab,delete,addonsupdater,autoupdate,favorites,usercss,fastlistmode,touchex,switchhiddenfilter

Let's change the association in Tablacus Explorer.

  1. Open Tool -> Options -> Menus -> Default
  2. Enter "PDF" in the Name field.
  3. Enter "*.pdf" in the Filter field.
  4. Select "Selected items" by type.
  5. Click "Browse..." and select "Exec". You can also select "Open with..." and specify Adobe Reader DC.
  6. Click "Add" and "OK".

hello, I found a fix: for some reason I was running tablacus as administrator. If I run tablacus as normal user then acrobat reader works correctly.

I see、so that's how it was... Thank you for your report.

Thank you again!

maybe you can create an addon that tells the user if tablacus is running as administrator as an example the addon could add in the title bar something like [administrator]

That's a great idea.
