Bridge won't open PDF files

Community Beginner ,
Sep 24, 2025 Sep 24, 2025

Hi,

 

I'm having an issue with opening PDF files from Bridge. I've been used to just double clicking on the files and they just open but that no longer works (only occasionally). Mostly Adobe will open but not the file. It's really frustrating. I've been using the workaround of 'reveal in finder' and then opening from there but it's not ideal. I'm not sure if this is a bug with Bridge or Acrobat.

 

I've deleted preferences on Bridge, rebooted, checked file association but I'm not having any luck. If any one can help, I'd really appreciate it.

 

Thanks, Jo

You might want to check your file associations in Bridge's Preferences/Settings

Thanks for you suggestion. I've checked that again and it worked for a bit but it has since stopped working again. It seems to be sporadic. I wonder if it's conflicting with dropbox somehow, as sometimes I notice it triggers some movement with a dropbox folder that is docked at the bottom of the screen.
