You need to connect PDF files to the current Accrobat version. This is not a function of Acrobat but of your OS (in this case Microsoft Windows 7).

See here (Microsoft Windows support) on how to change default programs: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18539/windows-7-change-default-programs . See here for a step by step instruction: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-associate-file-type-or-protocol-program

thank you so much for your imput its greatly appreciated and apologies for posting in the wrong section. I followed the links you posted and tried the suggestions but all my PDFs are associated with Acrobat and it is the default program to open them. Adobe will only open with run as administrator. i really dont know what to do now.

Hi

Does it work when you launch Adobe Reader and then choose File > Open?
