Cannot set Adobe DC as Default PDF Reader using tool provided within app

[tentontoby]

There no longer seems to be a "Change" button in the _Opens with_ field to choose an alternative default PDF application in Windows 10 version 2004.  Not sure if this is Adobe or Microsoft's bug.

Hey there,

Looking at the description given above, I believe you are referring to the steps given in this help article https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/kb/not-default-pdf-owner-windows10.html

If this isn't working, then there's another way of doing that. You can try this-

• Right click on any pdf file>Open With>select Reader DC if not listed then click on choose another app
• Then click on Adobe Reader >check "Always use this app to open .pdf files">OK
• Now Reader DC should be set as default app.

Thanks,

Akanchha
