Changing the Default for PDFs
If you have not changed your Adobe settings, then PDFs may open in your default browser instead of Adobe. To change this setting to open PDFs in Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat (depending on your license), please follow these directions:
1. Right-click on a PDF you want to open.
2. Select Open with from the menu and then click on Adobe Acrobat Reader/Adobe Acrobat.
3. When a message appears asking to make Adobe Acrobat Reader the default PDF application, click Yes.
4. An instruction screen will open up, click Continue.
5. A new window will open, under Opens with, click Change.
6. When it asks how you want to open .pdf files from now on, select Adobe Acrobat Reader and click OK.
Your PDFs will now open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
