    Default could not launch external image editing application

    I have Acrobat 5.0 installed, as well as Photoshop 7.0 and Illustrator 10.

    When I right click on an image in a pdf and select "Edit Image" I get the error message "could not launch external image editing application".

    Have you selected Photoshop as your external image editing application in Acrobat's preferences?

    Default Re: could not launch external image editing application

    Duh, no, I didn't.

    Sorry! I followed the Acrobat help steps to move the Photoshop plugin to the Photoshop folder - it didn't mention configuring 'Preferences' that I saw, but I should have thought of that.

    Thanks!
