I like Adobe Reader much more than Preview for viewing PDF files. Is there any way I can change the default PDF viewer from Preview to Adobe Reader so I don't have to close Preview after opening a PDF, start Adobe Reader and open the file I just need (which I was just viewing a moment ago)? Computer specs are in signature...

Thanks, Alex
 
click on a pdf and press command + i.
Under the open with: select what you want to open it with and then click the change all button.
 
you can also do it this way:

right click on the icon you want to open
left click (get info)
left click little arrow (open with)
change the application to open your pdf document
