Opening PDF files in MS Word?

Sometimes the case is the system default open PDF files with wrong program such as Ms Word, therefore simply change the “open with” settings to specify a permanent or temporary program to open it in correct program, to PDF, Adobe reader is the right one, you need to install it in advance.

But maybe someone are not familiar with PDF files and treat them as editable documents like word, then to <link removed> is what they manage to do. I guess most reasons to do so is that they assume that PDF files can be edited. In that case, conversion can be implemented.
