Does anyone know why every time I download a .pdf file from an email attachment or website, it is being tagged with a Ps5 indicaqtor and will autmaticlly open into PS unless specially told to open it with Acrobat?   This is very annoying.

    Hi there,

    It might be related to file association. Could you try changing the file association according to the operating system and let us know if it helps?

    A PS5 indicator. Wow PS5 is is 20th Century software 1998.  I think you will find some system files association is messed up in your OS.
