Hi there

 

 

I hope this message finds you well, and thank you for reaching out.

To reset the default application for opening PDF files on your Android device, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open your Device Settings.
  2. Navigate to Apps (or Applications, depending on your device).
  3. Locate and select the app currently set as the default for opening PDF files.
  4. Tap on Open by default (you might find it under the App info section).
  5. Choose Clear Defaults or toggle off the Open supported links option.

Once you’ve cleared the default app settings, the next time you attempt to open a PDF file, your device will prompt you to select which app you’d like to use. From there, you can choose the desired app and set it as the new default.
