My inDesign exports as an illustrator file? Pdf is not working?

Question

Hi Community,I have a big problem... I'm currently on InDesign 14.0.1I have a file of 22 pages with text and images and hyperlinks connected to the images.When I export this as a PDF (Interactive) my file becomes a illustrator file but with the .pdf behind it? (very weird).It looks like this in my Finder:When I open it, It opens Illustrator with this message:My Illustrator is on version 23.0.1But the problem is I want it as an Interactive PDF Also when I export from InDesign as PDF (print) I have the same problem...Hope you can help...These are my export settings:

its is not becoming and illustrator file. its a .pdf. your file association is just off and its showing an illustrator preview icons instead of a .pdf preview icon.

Select that .pdf. go command "i", in the properties, under, open with. select acrobat and tell it to apply as default, like this:

It doesn’t become an Illustrator file, but you instructed your OS to consider PDF files as Illustrator files. This is OS related, and you need to reattribute the PDF extension to Acrobat again. How this can be done should be asked in an Apple forum.
