I have just upgraded to Acrobat DC from Acobat Reader. When I used to 'Save As' Pdf using Reader the pdf file would the open automatically. Using DC, that doesn't appear to happen by default. Is there something in preferences (or elsehwere) that I can select to have this happen automatically in DC please?

It is a setting of the Office apps.


I can't find the setting that you are referring to, Bernd, but I've now found the menu for the Adobe Add-in in Excel. Clicking on the Creat PDF on the left hand side opens the file in Acrobat DC. Was it this you were referring to, or a setting somewhere else. If somewhere else, could you provide details of where to find it please?

I updated my Adobe programs, and files exported from InDesign did not open automatically in Acrobat Pro DC like they used to. I'm on a new iMac desktop, and I figured out what the problem was--a box wasn't checked on the export.

I went to File>Export>Adobe (Print). In the General tab, I clicked on "View PDF after Exporting. Issue fixed.
