I want to change the default opening of documents from Reader back to Mac Preview but I couldnt find anything about it in Mac or Adobe settings. Anyone know how to change this?

 

Thanks 🙂

See: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/choose-an-app-to-open-a-file-on-mac-mh35597/mac

 

PS. This is a bad idea. Apple Preview is a terrible PDF viewer. It corrupts PDF forms just by opening them...

Oh okay thank you I didn't know that. Dumb question incoming because I am really unfamiliar with Adobe at the moment... how do you save the PDF you opened with Reader to Mac? That was the main reason I wanted to revert back to Preview because then its automatically saved as a file on my laptop.

 

Thanks again
