Hello,

I can't figure out why my PDFs always get open in Word but not the Adobe program?

Does anyone have a quick answer?

Thank you so much!

Hi,

Right-click on the document icon, go to Properties.
Under the General tab, go to Open with, click on the change button, choose the Adobe program (assuming you have it), click OK and Apply.

Thanks!

You need to change the file association setting to point pdf to adobe

go to this Microsoft link:

You saved me! Control Panel, Folder Options, Find "pdf" and then change the program it opens in. Took me two minutes. You are the BEST!
