On the document icon itself, right click, go to properties. Under the "General" tab, go to "Opens with", click on the change button, choose the Adobe program (assuming you have it), click ok, apply, ok.

Go to http://adobe.com/reader to download a PDF reader then install on your computer.
Then right click the PDF files, propertise, click change in the right of open file with, choose Adobe Reader.
I am very confused why your PDF files can be opened as PDF format. I think it is wonderful because you can edit the PDF files on Word.

I have tried all of the above also.....and still when I try to open a PDF file attached to an email, it goes automatically to Word. Even when I go to a website, such as my tv cable company, and try to download my statement, it goes directly to Word in gibberish. I have saved that gibberish and then tried to open it with Adobe reader, but it says it can't read it or the file has been corrupted.
Also I can't find any where the option to "open with"....when I right click and go to "properties" there is no option to "open with". Seems Windows is not reading the .PDF and automatically
opening everything with Word. Where do I go to fix that?!
