    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

    Under the open with: select what you want to open it with and then click the change all button.
