Enable Adobe Reader as the default for new users
Hi all,
How do I enable Adobe Reader as the default reader in Linux automatically whenever I create a new user account?
I don't want to find myself doing it for every user I create, It's too tedious if there are too many users.
Cheers.

It depends alot upon the desktop environment they are using. They can also override any settings you make their default. So, why do you want to do this?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

It is a lot easier to work with pdf files in Acrobat. xpdf or other readers usually have some problems. The users are students and they normally don't change such settings.
I could login to their accounts and change the default pdf reader or explorer but it is painful if I have to do it for 30 of them.
I am using nfs + nis. So, I was wondering if I could make the Acrobat reader default once and for all. And next time when I add new users, it is automatically the default in their logins.
