How to Set Default PDF Reader
The purpose of this document is to provide written and visual instruction on how to set Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat DC as your main PDF viewer.
By default, the Windows 10 Operating System uses the Microsoft Edge Browser to view PDF files. This makes it difficult to provide a digital signature on your PDF Files when needed. To set the Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat DC as your main PDF viewer please follow these steps.
1) Find the PDF file you want to open.
2) Right-click on the document and select the option "Open with and then Chose another App"
3) Now, select the option Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat DC and check the box for Always use this app to open .pdf files.
4) The PDF document will then open using the Adobe Acrobat. All future PDF documents will also open using the new default you just set.
***Please note: Some employees have FoxIT PDF and if they need to set their default PDF Viewer they should choose FoxIT PDF in the options.
