 Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2005 5:15 pm Post subject: Question - Setting file associations |
 |
|
Alright, I need some more assistance please..
I have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader on the Mini.. However, Preview has been set as the default viewer for .pdf files.
My question: How do I set the file association for .pdf files in the Mac, so that Adobe defaults to opening pdf's instead of preview?? When I try to open a pdf file, the dialog box does not give me an option to chooose which application I want to use. It only offers Preview (as the default), and I'm not allowed to browse and find my own chosen App to open it with.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve |

If you right click or command+click on a PDF file and then go under Open With:. Select the program you want and click Change All.
That should do it.
