MickRose Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 I know this might be a Windows 10 problem rather than an Affinity problem but it is really annoying. Recently the Acrobat icon is replaced by the Affinity Designer icon in Windows dialogue boxes. I have tried various things to stop this happening but nothing works. I can try to change it in Windows file manager or "Change Default Application by File Type" but it immediately it immediately reverts back to Affinity Designer. Anyone else had this experience?

Right-click on a PDF Select Open With > Choose another app (at the bottom) Select the application you want to open PDFs (in your case Acrobat...ugh!) At the bottom check the box for Always use this app to open .pdf files Click OK Then PDFs should open automatically in the desired application. Quote
