To change which application handles your .PDF files

By default, OS X chooses to view .pdf files with Preview; however, you may prefer to use Adobe Acrobat to view these documents. If you double-click a PDF file and a different application opens, you can use these steps to tell Acrobat to open PDF documents:

Select (single-click) the PDF file in the Finder.
From the File menu, choose Get Info.
In the Info window that appears, click the disclosure triangle next to "Open with."
Set the pop-up menu to Acrobat.
Click the Change All button that's immediately below the pop-up menu.
