    Default How to make Acrobat default viewer

    I mistakenly clicked NO when asked if I want to make Acrobat my default viewer for PDF files. Now all the files created will automatically open in Preview instead and have the Preview icon.

    Any way to change this?

    Thank you.

    Actually to make sure that "all" pdf's are chosen. In acrobat 6 and OSX.3.

    Check for a cross section of PDF files.
    There the normal PDF files from acrobat.
    Then there are the ones that are marked for Preview to open.
    Then there are the ones that are created by the print command in an application.
    (The OS creates the PDF) so there will be several different icons that may show a PDF extension.

    Use option command mouse click to select several of these different types. Then use the procedure you outlined above.
