Adobe Acrobat Reader

I'm running Tiger (10.4.5) on an iMac G5
I also have classic installed
and I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 (I think because it's needed in classic)
Now I also have Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.7

However I don't understand why every and I mean every PDF file I download in Tiger fires up Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 instead of 7.0.7, and when I do a 'check info' of the downloaded PDF file it says
"open with" - Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0
so my Tiger has decided to bless 5.0 rather than 7.0??? Why???

MisterMe will become famous soon enough
All you have to do is to click a PDF file. Select File>Get Info. Change Opens with: to Adobe Reader 7.0.7. Click Change All... and you're done.

Just try. Enough PDFs out there. ... I personally prefer Preview to open PDFs automatically in Tiger.
