Can I control how PDF output is viewed?

Post by Dee Vincent-Day »

Following a recent upgrade to Windows 10 my pdf output now opens in Microsoft Edge even though I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. In windows 7 it used to open in google chrome. I was wondering if there was a way to control this behaviour?

Hello Dee Vincent-Day,

the program that is called to view a pdf is specified in the settings of your system. In Win 10 you may modify it via "Default-Apps", the last but one option in the list provided below system.
There you may find a link to "Set default apps by file type" with a list of quite a few file extensions and the assigned programs.

Kind regards,
