Hi @chowus

If you want to open the pdf file in adobe acrobat reader.
Right click on the pdf file and select the Open with option and select the Adobe Acrobat Reader application.
Check the below image for your reference.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @chowus

You can’t add any automation on changing default PDF reader to Adobe reader. Before you start building your workflow you can manually click on the particular PDF file and change the option to Adobe reader. So, the next time you open that PDF it will be opening in Adobe Reader itself.

Hope it helps!!
