I have a MAC G4 with OS 9.2 using Acrobat V 5.0
and Adobe reader 5.0. The Reader was updated from version 4 to 5. I used to be able to click a PDF file and Acrobat would open. Now it starts up Adobe Reader. File info does not give anything but general info, no 'open with' type of option.

If I want the file opened in Acrobat. I have to start use the open file menu from Acrobat.

How do I change it so that Reader does not launch?

Hi Joe

been awhile since I've been in OS 9, but look in the Fie Exchange Control Panel and see if you can associate the file there.

I made changes there and it did not have any effect. Tried deleting preference file and still no help. Is there more than one preference file that needs to be re-created?

You could just trash Reader and it's Preference file in the System folder>Preference folder.
