Making Adobe the default PDF reader on a MacBook Air

Does anyone know how to make adobe the default PDF program on a mac?

That's done via your Mac operating system rather than Adobe.

See https://www.imore.com/how-set-mac-app-default-when-opening-file

it doesn't matter what's downloaded.  what's installed?  acrobat pro or acrobat reader?

and clicking a "create pdf" button wouldn't be expected to open that pdf in any app unless that button is really something like, create and open pdf.

what happens when you click the pdf?  it should then open in your app assigned as default to open pdf's
