How to change the default app for .pdf files

Anonymous

I'll use F as shorthand for one of my .pdf apps. I'll use P as shorthand for the other .pdf app. (I prefer not to use the names of apps that compete with one another.) P is currently the default app for .pdf files. I want to change the default to F.

Then I scroll down the list of default file types to .pdf.

Thanks for your help.

    Hi SweetTasha,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Right click a PDF file and select Properties.

    On the resulting dialog box, there should be a 'Change' button, click that.

    Then use the resulting menu's to find the app you want to set as your default PDF viewer.
