Solved Adobe Acrobat won't associate with .pdf files

[netadict]

I have the latest Adobe Acrobat reader installed but whenever I double click a .pdf file Windows gives me the "this file does not have a program associated with it" message so I went to control panel>Default Programs and associated pdf files with acrobat , pressed OK then restarted the PC. The problem is still there.

Try right clicking a pdf> Open with> Choose default program> Select Acrobat from list> Make sure Always use selected program to open this kind of file is checked



Use the Browse button if Acrobat isn't suggested. What programs are suggested on the list, if that doesn't work? A Guy

also you could try opening adobe reader select edit/preferences /General, then click the select default pdf handler button ,from the window that opens select adobe reader .

Thank you, I tried both your suggestions but it still didn't work

What solved the problem was downloading and installing a new version of Acrobat
