Windows doesn't recognise PDF files

[limbo]

When I want to open a PDF file I have to manually command windows to do so, it doesn't automatically recognise that PDF files have to be opened with Adobe Acrobat reader or pro version that I have installed.

 

Is there a simple way to have Windows recognise and open pdf files automatically?

check in settings/controlpanel/add or remove programs whether Adobe is on the list; if not add it.

Right click on the file. Choose: Open With>Chose Program... That will pop a box with a list of programs. Choose Acrobat from the list, check the box "Always use the program to open these files" then clock OK.

 

Cheers,

SD,

 

Simple and easy indeed. Thanks for the tip.

Here's a tip: Use Foxit, a free alternative to Acrobat. It opens much faster and is a lot easier to use for normal reading purposes.

 

Here's the link:

I have no connections with the above software, but it has saved me tons of time.

Thnaks expat,

 

but the problem was already solved. May try this anyway.
