How do I set Acrobat 8 as the default pdf reader?

Which operating system are you using?

For Windows (not screens/text may vary between different versions of Winows)

• Select a PDF from your hard drive
• Right Click
• Select 'Open with'
• If Acrobat 8 is not listed select 'choose default program'
• Recomended programs should be displayed, if not select 'Browse...' locate Acrobat 8
• Ensure the check box 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' is selected

For MAC OSX

• Open Finder
• Select a pdf
• From the Finder menu select File > Open With
• If Acrobat is not listed select 'Other...'
• In the 'Choose Application dialog select 'Reader'
• Ensure the check box  'Always Open with' is selected

Hope this helps
