Right click on a PDF file and select to show Info, then change the application that is associated with this file AND select to apply the change to all files of this type.

You're obviously using an ancient version of macOS. (Nothing personal, but Acrobat XI won't run on the most recent four versions). What version of macOS do you have?

Seems to be no fix for this. Very frustrating
