      Hi
      I’ve just upgraded to InD 2018. Previously, when I’d exported a file to PDF it automatically opened it in Acrobat. Now it opens in Preview. I can’t find out where to change my preference. Please could you help?

      Are you on a Mac or PC?

      I’m using a Mac, with High Sierra.

        Is it all PDFs or just the ones you are making now in CC2018?

        For system-wide change, click any PDF. Then get info on (command + i).

        Then click on open with and select Acrobat.And say to change all. Then all PDFs should open with Acrobat.

      Hi
      I’ve made that adjustment and it works perfectly now, thank you. I had been trying to find an InDesign preference, rather than looking within a PDF.
      best wishes
