Hello,

I work in a large organization, since updates of the new version began on 21.011.20039 on every computer that has an update of Acrobat reader installed, the default program for opening PDF files has changed.
Has anyone else experienced this?

When you say "pdf creator", do you mean "Adobe Acrobat" as in the non-free version vs. the free Adobe Reader? If so, do you have both Acrobat and the Reader installed on your computer?
