Hi All!!! I downloaded to my FREE Windows 10 and now I cannot open any PDF Is there any settings that must be changed or such? Thanks for your help
Windows 10 uses Edge as the default PDF viewer, but it's not very good. You should be able to go to the App store and download the Microsoft PDF viewer like you probably had before. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sto...d4858930441c10068a1963e)(259740)(2806692)()() If you don't like that one you can always install Adobe. https://get.adobe.com/reader/ Be sure in un-check the option to install McAfee, True Key or any other optional offers.
Thank You jesse and Don't Care........... I will try those suggestions and let you know how I make out !!!! I appreciate it !!
I click on ... (upper right corner) and scroll down to "Open with Internet Explorer" and then proceed as before downloading Windows 10. This works most of the time. I've also re-installed Adobe Reader. One reason Windows 10 has problems is because a lot of Sites haven't redone their sites to be used with Windows 10.
thank you Auxie,,,, the site will not allow for me to open with Windows Explorer... it is not highlighted

Did you tell it which program to use? Right click the document and there will be a menu of options. About 7 or 8 lines down click "Open With". Choose Adobe Acrobat or whichever program you wish to use.
When it cannot open do you not see an error message saying it 'cannot be opened with "X" program do you want to choose another app or search the web'? 10 calls programs apps now.If you choose 'another app' there should be a list including Adobe. Once you choose Adobe there is also a box to check to always use that program. This is just another route for the "open with" option above, but tells you which program WIndows is trying to use.
right clicked on document and it just says open in new window, copy link, inspect element, open in new tab and bing lookup... all clicked on and come back to say Something is preventing from this PDF from opening.......Wayne I am not given any option to Open With.......... clicked on everything else and still says Something is preventing this PDF from opening.
Odd. Did you try Don't Care's option? Right click on the file. It should give you the options: Open Scan with (maybe) Open with If you click on "open with" the options should be: Adobe Search the store Choose another app. If it shows Adobe first there is something preventing the file from being accessed. If the first option is not Adobe, click "choose another app" and click Adobe. This will also give you that option of using adobe this once or every time for this type of file. If it is trying to use Adobe do you have any other PDF files to try to open?
I did right click on the file and the options from my earlier post come up. NO option to open scan with or open with
My Windows 10 with Adobe Acrobat reader installed gives these options when I right click Open with Adobe Acrobat Open Scan Open with ------ Share with Restore previous version ----- Send ------ Cut Copy ------ Create shortcut Delete Rename ------ Properties I assume that if Adobe was not active for that file it would not have such an option, everything else with the possible exclusion of "scan" should be the same. Is your file on the hard drive or another memory source?
You can set the default program another way. Go to the Start Button (Lower Left of screen) > All Apps > Windows System and open Control Panel. Open Default Programs then click on "Associate a File Type or Protocol with a specific program". Wait for it to load, scroll down to .pdf. See what the .pdf default program is set to and change it to Adobe Acrobat or whatever you are tying to use.
I don't know if it will make a difference, but last night I got a very major update on Windows 10. Before messing around too much I would force an update if it has not already happened. The upgrade forced updates for a number of other programs on my SurfacePro and about 4 restarts.
