How do I stop the Adobe Reader updates from setting reader as the default PDF viewer?

Question

We have another PDF management software on a large number of our PC that we would like to keep as the default application for handling PDFs.  The last round of updates pushed out for Acrobat reader changed Reader to the default.  Is there a switch or a way to have the updates not make this change?

Hi Jh,

We apologize for the delay in response to your query.

We have a help document available where it guides you how you can set the Adobe Acrobat Reader as default app.

Associate PDF files to always open in Acrobat or Reader on Windows 10

You may refer to the same steps suggested for Adobe Reader an apply for the application you are willing to make as your default pdf viewer.

Or unfollow the steps suggested to make Adobe Reader as default app.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Akanchha
