My PDF files open in Word.

Solved

Hello,

I am using Vista.

When I open PDF documents with Gmail, they open in Word in an encrypted way.

I deleted Word and they open fine in Adobe Reader...

I reinstalled Word and it encrypts again!

What should I do?

Thank you

Didier

    Hello

    Go to the Start menu, search for Default Programs, and specify that PDFs should be opened with Adobe Reader.

    Also check if you can simply right-click > Open with > Choose default program on the PDF document and select Adobe Reader, making sure to tick the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file".

      Thank you, but when I try to open the document on Gmail, the right-click on the mouse does not offer "open with"... Whereas when I save it first to the desktop, then open it "with Adobe," it works.

      I went to default programs (VISTA) but couldn't find where we can associate PDF with Adobe... It's true, I'm a bit of a dunce :)

      You go to Default programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a program > You look for the .pdf extension and click on it > Change program > And there you choose Adobe Reader.

      If you right-click > Open with > Choose default program > and check the box Always use the selected program to open this kind of file > choose Adobe Reader. That works too.

      You're not clueless, but you just need to open your eyes, read, and think a little bit ;-)
