Ғылым және технология
This video shows how to configure Windows 10 to open PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of Google Chrome. This issue is resolved by changing the file associations so that files with the .pdf extension open in the desired program.

Exactly after 40 look-ups 😅finally 🎉
I am grateful that this still applies. The change first took place on my laptop, and today on my desktop. I was losing my mind trying to figure out what I did to make this happen, but this video came to my rescue. It was straight to the point and easy. Four years later it still worked...THANK YOU!!!
Seriously, thank you!!! I recently had a chrome icon takeover of all my PDF files, and wasn't sure how to undo the mess. You are awesome for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you! This is the first tutorial that actually worked! By changing just one pdf that had changed to Chrome HTML, it changed them all back to the original pdf. What a relief!
Dude, you saved me! I almost gave up looking for a video that's relevant to my issue then I found you. Thank you so much, you saved me so much stress and anxiety.
OM goodness! Thank you so much!! I have had this problem for a couple of weeks, and other fixes I tried did not work - yours was so simple and straight forward! BEST of ALL it WORKED - Thank you.
You are the BEST! Tried for hours to fix this problem and no other site/guide could guide me how to change the settings so that when opening a PDF file did not have to open it through Chrome. All other tutorials complicated it or their options explained did not solve this issue. THANK YOU so much. Great job.
Many thanks! I've been waiting on IT all day and you resolved it in 45 seconds.
Thank you. I accidentally changed the default and freaked out. This video made fixing the problem extremely simple and saved me hours of grief!!
I tried searching this using a regular browser and it told me a totally different thing. With your You Tube explanation it was super easy and just right on. Thanks.
Wow that was so easy! I was about to drive myself nuts. This video really helped me a lot. I actually refresh the screen and all the files that were under chrome were updated to .pdf files. Thank you so much!
This is about the 20th post I have carefully read to fix this problem - none worked except for your video. It fixed it in 50 seconds. Well Done and Thank You!!
Who will unlike this video? I got frustrated trying everything else and these few easy steps resolved my problem immediately!!!
Excellent. I fixed it and was back to what I needed to do before the video was even over.
This video might have posted a few years ago, but it is still applicable. Thank you for such an easy fix! It worked for me.
Perfect, easy and to the point. Solved my problem in seconds. I can't figure out how anyone gave this a thumbs down. Bozos.

Me too!!It's really grt that we both faced the same problem on the same day and got it resolved through this video.
You are a godsend! It is so simple and it solved my problem after searching on the Internet for solutions that don't work. Thank you soooooo much.
Thank you, this simple instructional video helped me tremendously.
I did this and it shows that it supposed to open up in acrobat however it still opens up in chrome. Pls advise.
Wow. Thank you for your easy to understand and follow directions.
I hate to admit it but I am a dinosaur when it comes to matters such as this! I went to a site hoping to get help it was far to completed for me! I am so thankful that I found you on KZread! You made the insrctions so simple and clear, even I got it right the first time!! I am grateful :)
Thank you so much! This was VERY HELPFUL! I was getting so frustrated because nothing seemed to be working. Thank you. Thank you 😊
Thank you for the video. After you change the "open with" for adobe acrobat just above that the type of file association does not change. That still leaves a residue or still has chrome opening pdf files sometimes. Any help, greatly appreciated, thanks
