How to open pdf files from OneDrive not in browser

Hi Asma

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, when you click on pdf files in OneDrive it always opens in the browser. We need some more information for a better understanding:

- Would you mind sharing which browser is opening the PDF file?

- What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and the OS you are using?

To check the version of the application go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the latest version installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates and reboot the computer once.

Please try to set Acrobat Reader as the default application as described in the help page - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/not-default-pdf-owner-windows10.html (For Windows) and see if that helps.

If you are on Mac OS

1. Single click a PDF file you wish to open or any PDF file in general while holding the control key. Then select 'Get Info' from the menu you've opened.

2. Under the heading 'Open with,' the current default application for opening PDF's is listed.

3. Click on the application listed to open a menu displaying additional applications. In this menu locate the most recent version of Adobe Reader. If Reader is not listed or an old version of the software is listed select 'Other' from the bottom of the menu.

4. Navigate through your Applications folder to locate the icon for the Adobe Reader application and click to highlight it. Click the Add button to select Reader.

5. Back in the information window click the 'Change All' button so that all subsequent PDF files will be opened by the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

6. Click the Continue button to confirm.

Let us know if you experience any trouble and need more help.
