When I access the Google Drive android application and select a pdf file by default it is opened with "pdf drive".
How to open the file, just by selecting it, in Adobe Acrobat ?
I repeat it happens when I use Adroid Google Drive app.


The only solution found at the moment is to select the item "open with " and choose Adobe Acrobat, but all this wastes time inhow we do various processing.

Thanks for the help

Hi @Federico31295956hxyw,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for writing in!

 

I tried the workflow you are referring to, and it seems that Google Drive is bypassing the default application set to open PDF files (Acrobat, in this case) and using its native viewer for opening the files.

 

I would suggest using the Open With feature or logging in to Google Drive on Acrobat by going to the Files tab and clicking the "+" icon to the right of Google Drive.

 

Also, I will forward this to the team for further review and will update the thread once I hear back.
