when i download or create a pdf file...and then double-click it to launch the Acrobat READER it launches Acrobat (not the reader). this is fine, but the READER is quicker...

is there a way to reset the defaults so that when i double-click a pdf the READER launches and not Acrobat...

i know i could probably reinstall...but i'm wondering if there is another way...

thanks...jv

in osx, right click on one of the pdf's. Select 'Show Info', from the pull-down menu select 'open with application'. Search through for acrobat reader, and then click 'change all'.

Should work.
