    Default How To Set Default PDF viewer

    In OSX, Acrobat Reader has a check box that asks if you'd like o set
    Acrobat as the default viewr for all PDFs. I set that, now I want ot unset
    it and use Preview - anyone know where this is set?

    I've looked in System Prefs, Acrobat Prefs, Preview Prefs

    Thanks

    In the Finder, just find a PDF file, select it, and do a "Get Info"
    (from the File menu, or hit Command-I). In the resulting Get Info
    window, open the "Open With" triangle, change to the program you want
    from the list, and click the "Change All" button if you'd like it to be
    system-wide.

    That's it! Works for all kinds of files; I use the same sequence to
    set it to open my JPEG files in GraphicConverter.

    Hope that helps.
