How to automatically open PDF using Acrobat Reader?

Good day!

With the so many PDF Readers in the market, some of the users of the PDF forms I have created in Acrobat DC behave differently with the PDF Readers.

How can I configure a PDF form to open in Acrobat Reader?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Henry.Ong,

If I understand your query correctly, you are willing to open all the PDF forms through Adobe Reader desktop application?

How does a file is going to be opened is completely depends on which application has been set up as default viewer of the file. Which means, if you would like to you open .pdf files through the Adobe Reader only, then you need to set Adobe Reader as default pdf viewer app.

Here are the detailed steps for how you can change the settings- Associate PDF files to always open in Acrobat or Reader on Windows 10

Note: Opening .pdf files through Acrobat DC by default and at the same time opening .pdf forms through Adobe Reader by default wont be possible. For all the .pdf extension files you can set one application (either Acrobat DC or Adobe Reader) as default.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,

Akanchha

      Thanks Akki for this feedback.

      So this means that I can only control in my computer how PDF will be open.

      Yes, you got it correct. You can only change and make default settings within your computer. How the form will be viewed and opened by end user, that can not be control.
