First of all I am really surprised by EndNote’s incompetence in tech support and offering “half-baked” bug fixes like the “PDF-wrapper” batch file. The auther even acknowledges that this will change the PDF file icons. Is this the official solution? You have to be kidding me.
Here is how I was able to solve the problem on windows Vista:
-
Go to Start Menu / Control Panel (Classic View) / Default Programs / Associate a file type or protocol with a program
-
Scroll down to find the entry for “.pdf” extension.
-
Click on Change Program and select “Adobe Reader” from the list. Even though it is already set as the default program resetting this will fix the registry entry and force it to work properly.
And it works. No wrappers.
