Hyperlinks in PDF don't open on default browser

[Guest]

Hello again,

I currently use Adobe Acrobat Pro. When clicking on a link in a PDF file, it opens in Edge.

However, Firefox is my default browser.

I did read this recent post on the community forum : https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/links-opening-on-wrong-browser/m-p/15392894#M5126... 

• I double checked the settings in Firefox to make sure it is indeed defined as the default brower. 
• I checked settings in Edit > Preferences > Internet in Acrobat Pro to make sure nothing was pointing to Edge.
• In the Windows settings, Firefox is set to default for HTTP, and HTTPS.

Any idea ?

Hi Atuvu,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please confirm if this behavior occurs with a particular file from a specific source. It can be a file-specific issue.

It may be predefined in the PDF. Could you please share a sample PDF so we can check?

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I am having this same problem. hyperlinks in pdfs all open in MS Edge, even though Chrome is my default browser. I cannot find a setting to change in Adobe, but this is a new development in the last couple of months.

I should add that I am using the current release of Acrobat, not Acrobat Pro.

Same issue, links opening in Edge and not default browser. Spent last hour trying this and that including reinstalling Adobe Reader. Tried multiple pdf files and all are the same. If I open them in another pdf program the links open using the default browser. 
Any solution from Adobe??
