how do i make pdf's open in acrobat pro instead of preview??
i cant find an option to change the default program that it uses...
thanks
 
Right or Ctrl click on any PDF file and select Get Info. In the Open With section, select Adobe Acrobat, or Other.. if Acrobat does not appear in the menu. If you have to use Other.. locate Acrobat. Then click on the Change All button once selected.

Right click on any .pdf -> Get Info -> In the Info window is a section marked "Open With," change it from Preview to Acrobat Pro then click "Change All."
 
right click a pdf and get info then select open with

This thread title is misleading - I was expecting to tell somehow how to make a PDF file from any program by printing to PDF.
