Question

No longer able to open a pdf file by double clicking

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Mac installed.  Prior to most recent installed Adobe update, we could open a pdf by simply double clicking.  Post most recent Adobe update (May 8 2017), we are no longer able to open a pdf file by doubling clicking, instead a new dialog window appears and we need to select Acrobat icon to open the file.

My request is to return to the open file via a double click functionality.  Is there anyone else experiencing this issue?

Any assistance on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

[You posted to Acrobat Reader and you have Acrobat XI Standard. While there are dozens of Acrobat and PDF forums, there is not one that exactly meets your question. I moved this to Editing & Exporting PDFs, hoping that it is the closest.

Not a Mac user (any more) but here is a page on how to set file associations. Starts at step 2.
