PDF files are converting to Word documents

I'm a little computer illiterate, so this may be easy for someone to answer. What can I do to stop my PDF files from opening or converting to Word documents?

They probably aren't actually being converted to Word documents. More than likely your system just thinks it's supposed to use Word to open pdf documents. Those are easy to fix and are called "file associations". If you let me know what operating system you use on your computer, I can send you to instructions on how to easily fix that.

Easy enough.

First, find a pdf that is saved to your computer. Click once on it to highlight it. Then, right-click and choose Open with>Choose default program. Select Adobe Reader and near the bottom of the window choose "Always use selected program to open this kind of file. Click ok when done.

Now when you double-click a pdf, it should open with Reader.
