Open topics suddenly auto-generate PDF files

[mgnatowsky]

So strange - this started happening July 2nd. This morning I still get a PDF file opening in Adobe (preferred) with every open Flare topic. I'm opening from the Content Explorer by double-clicking, which has always opened the file in the XML Editor, just as I like it - but now we also have the PDF file opening, just to note, always has a filename starting with MC_.

I restarted flare, no change. ReINSTALLED Flare, no change - stepped away from it all for five days - no change.

Appreciate any guidance on how to stop the madness.

I have never heard of such a thing happening (and I’ve been using Flare since Version 1). My next step would be to contact tech support.

Sorry that I’m not being helpful.

Is it possible your Windows file extensions have been reset?
