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.

    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!!!

    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.
