Hi

This morning I noticed that my mac had automatically updated to 10.12.4 beta (16E154a). When I tried to open I file in Preview, I noticed that all the icons had changed to Acrobat and the file opened in Acrobat. That puzzled me, so I did a get info and changed the default to Preview and changed all. This did not change the icons, but a random check showed that Preview was the default program.

However I cannot open any PDF in Preview. If I double click a PDF, Preview opens but no window appears, nor do I get any messages. Doing Preview --> File -->Open produces the same result.

Interestingly Safari will open a PDF file and I think that it uses the Preview engine?

Im at a loss of what to do next?
