When I save a pdf file in Illustrator I get a sign saying "This file has no program associated to perform this action. Install the appropriate program or, if you already have it installed, create an association in the Control Panel Programs defaults ", how I fix this?

    The sign appears after configuring PDF save options, when I put "save pdf", I tried changing the settings saving as "Default", "high quality" compatibility with Acrobat 5, 4, etc; PDF/X-4 , PDF/X-3 and always appeared the same sign.

    Is the option "open PDF after saving" checked? And do you have Acrobat installed?

    Then your system hasn't associated Acrobat with PDF file types. So you need to do that.

    the error message you get tells you exactly what to do...

     

     

    if you already have it installed, create an association in the Control Panel Programs defaults
