change default pdf readerBy default, Windows 8 comes with a built-in PDF reader called Windows Reader able to read any PDF file on your computer. Windows Reader is the default PDF reader on Windows 8 and that’s means that if you install Adobe Acrobat Reader on your PC, it won’t be able to open and read any PDF files because Windows 8 won’t associate such application to PDF files. If you want to take control of Windows 8 and decide yourself what program must read your PDF files, I have got a nice trick to force Windows 8 to dump Windows Reader in favor of any other PDF reader of your choice!

  1. Right-click any PDF file on your Windows 8.
  2. Choose default program from Open with menu.
  3. Click Adobe Reader X application and tick the use this app for all .pdf files option from the menu.
  4. Done!
