Adobe Reader Network issue

slipd · 3 May 2012 at 10:30

Hi guys,

On a simple network I look after a user has created (in word 2010) a .pdf file and then tried to open it without having acrobat reader installed – that has now associated .pdf files with word which word can’t open… I've installed acrobat now but this particular user’s account still tries to open .pdf's with word

Any idea's how I'd get round this?

Thanks.

In Adobe: Edit > Preferences > General > Set Default PDF Handler

Hold left Shift, right click a PDF and click 'Open With', the rest is obvious..

Thanks guys! Unfortunately it's not that simple, its a networked environment and right-click has been disabled by the administrator...

Try what KIA said, set it as the default reader from within Adobe.
