Adobe Converting jpeg files - why?

[fomf]

Why does Adobe convert all my jpeg files to pdf?  That includes all my photographs, everything.  How do I stop this and how do I convert my files back to their original status?

Hi fomf,

That's perplexing! Can you please tell me a bit more? Did you recently subscribe to one of the Acrobat online services or download Adobe Reader?

It sounds like the filename association for JPEG files has become confused, and your operating system thinks it should open JPEG files with Adobe Reader. Is that what's happening? If so, you can reset the filename association easily. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? Let us know, and we'll point you in the right direction for resolving that confusion.

Best,

Sara

Thanks Sara

That was the problem and is now resolved.  I was terrified, having lost a whole lot of my data and pictures due to a rubbish cloud backup from some dumbo's called Cleverbridge, I know thought I was losing what I had recovered by having them converted into pdf's. And this was because, with the new Adobe that I purchased there was cloud something or another (that I am avoiding) and ....... Anyway, it's all resolved and I can relax again.  Thanks so much.

Kind regards

Douglas

I am having the same problem, but do not see an answer to resolve it.

It's most likely just a file-type association issue. What's your OS?
