All my PDF's open in Word

I must have hit something wrong as all my PDF's open in word and are saved as a PDF but with a Word logo. Is there something I can toggle out of to get back to regular PDF use?

Hey there,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. As shared, if all of your documents PDF and Word both appeared with the word logo, that means Microsoft Word has been setup as a default application to open all the file formats.

You can set this back on track by making these simple changes:

1- First you should have a PDF viewer application, which would help you to open a .pdf file. It could be Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (freeware) or Acrobat DC (subscription)

2-Right click on any pdf file>Open With>Choose another app>select Acrobat Reader DC (check the dialog "Always use this app to open .pdf files">OK).

3- All of your .pdf files will start showing the PDF icon and next time will automatically open in Acrobat Reader DC.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
