Question

All XD files I try downloading, download as PDF

Hi ! I'm having an issue, apparently every time I try to download an XD file, whether is from a website, or an Email (anywhere) it downloads as PDF file and does not let me open it with XD, not even when I predeterminate that XD. Files should always be open with Adobe XD. 

Please this as been a issue for a while and I couldn't find an answer, is there's a possible way to fix this ? 

Thank you so much !

    Sounds more like a mapping you set (probably by accident) on your system.

    Hi Florencia,

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you confirm if you have tried changing the default app to open XD file to Adobe XD and then try opening it. For information on to change the default app, please try the steps shared in the articles shared below:

     

    macOShttps://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mh35597/mac

    Windowshttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs-in-windows-10-e5d82cad-17d1-c53b-3505-f10a32e1894d

     

    If that's not the case would you mind sharing a small video of what's exactly happening at your end, along with the version of XD and OS? We'll try our best to help you with it.
