The Open With dialog box appears.
-
Select your preferred PDF viewer (for example, Adobe Reader).
NOTES
-
If the program you want doesn’t appear in the Program list, click Browse to locate the program manually.
-
If you don’t have a PDF viewer installed, click the link at the bottom of the window to locate the appropriate program on the Internet.
-
Select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box.

Click OK.
