Photos (jpg files) are automatic opened as pdf files. They are not visible!!

[rolfu52413850]

I have "made" Acrobat Reader DC to open photos (jpg files) as pdf files. How can I set it back only to open pdf files - not jpg files?

Hi Rolfu,

As per the information given above, it seems like Adobe Reader has set to default app to open all the files. As if you do not want to open the jpg files to open with Adobe Reader DC, then you may try the following-

• Select any .JPG file>Right click on it
• Select Open With and "Choose another app" (at the bottom)

  

• Select the app you want to make default .JPG file viewer.
• Check the box "Always use this app to open .JPG file"> OK

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Akanchha

It doesn't give me those options

Select the file in the Windows Explorer and you will get the option.

I don't get it?

Select a jpg file in Windows Explorer.

When I do this, the image file itself opens in the chosen app, but when I try to insert it into a PDF (Edit in Adobe Acrobat), Acrobat still insists on trying to open the image as a PDF, which fails.

I had this same problem. How I solved it was this:

open the attachment (it will open in adobe)

Save the attachment

Locate the saved attachment

Right click on the saved attachment

Chose open in photo (I use Windows/Microsoft photo app)

I made my changes to the photo

Saved the photo.

Now when I open a photo attachment it automatically opens in the photo app (not adobe)

I hope this helps.
