    Specifics depend on platform and OS version, but this can help.

    Right click on the icon of a known PDF and go to Porperties/Get Info. If the Open With sections doesn't show Reader, change it. Make sure that the change affects all files of the same type.

      It still doing it. This seems to have happened after I received some docs

      from a mac. My word documents also keep wanting to save in a docx format.

      does this make sense?

      I'm using windows 7

      Or you could try a Repair of Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office (from Control Panel | Programs & Features).
