Adobe - Open PDFs With Adobe Reader

Description:

If you have an old version of Adobe Acrobat on your PC the licence will have expired & it will ask you to sign in or sign up for a trial. 

As a temporary measure, until your PC can be updated, you can open PDFs using Adobe Reader.

If you need to edit PDFs please contact the Service Desk with your PC number.

Solution:

This will need to be done once at each login using a pdf saved to your PC/Shared area (once you have done this you will be able to open files from emails):

  • Find a pdf in file explorer

  • Right click on the file

  • Select Open with - Choose another app

  • Tick Always use this app to open .pdf files

  • Select Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

  • Click OK

  • If you can't see Adobe Acrobat Reader in the options please contact Service Desk with your PC number
