Adobe Acrobat opening on a single mouse-click

[ADDARO]

So I was recently given a someone else's computer at work and I use pdf's  a ton. However I am having this problem where the pdf opens in only a single mouse click. So when I go to select that pdf file to move it somewhere else or save a new version of the pdf by clicking on the name, it opens automatically. Wouldn't be such a big problem if I didn't have to deal with it all day. It is only pdf files and nothing else. FYI I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard v. 9.5.5.

Looking around on the internet, I couldn't really find much. There was was this post from a few years ago where someone else had a similar problem but it was never answered. So how can I fix this issue?

This is a setting of the operating system, not of Acrobat.

I don't think so. I checked my settings in the Control Panel and under Folder Options / General and it is set to "double-click to open an item (single click to select)". Unless there is another place?

Check the Mouse settings... Maybe the double-click speed is very high and you're accidentally double-clicking it or something.

No. The mouse double click is set right at medium. Like I said before, this is only happening with pdf files. No other file is affected so I don't think it is a system setting.

It can't be anything else, if it's Windows Explorer you are using. Acrobat doesn't watch and wait for clicks. Rather, as with all files, Windows watches and waits for clicks, and decides what apps to run. If you can't fix it try selecting another way. For example, drag the mouse to draw a box round the file name.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas, but I highly doubt this has anything to do with Acrobat...

I did a little more research into this and found it has to do with the file management system we are using (EPDM). Fix can be found here.
