I have several apps that generally open PDF files, including Adobe's PDF reader for iOS and several alternate browsers. I'm guessing it contains proprietary (Adobe) script on the forms that can't be handle in iOS as of yet. PS -There is no 'default app' setting on the iPad. Step 2: Select Default apps on the left-side pane, and then click the link 'Choose default apps by file type' on the right-side pane. Step 3: Slide down your mouse wheel until you find the.pdf (PDF File), then click on the current default PDF viewer's icon, and then choose a program to set it as the default PDF viewer in the drop-down menu. I have the same issue with the new model 9015, with default scanning as.jpg format. I cannot figure how to change the default to.pdf format. One thing I have yet to try is a command from the software program (Word) to “get/obtain” a document from scanner. To change the default PDF viewer, first, you need to identify the app that has hijacked your PDF files. Then you have to remove it as your default PDF viewer app. When you do so, you will be asked.
Learning has never been so easy!

Here's how to set a default pdf reader (tested with Win 10) depending on whether acrobat is installed.
8 Steps total
Step 1: Create two xml files
Create two xml files and add them to an accessible network share with read only permissions for the user/computers you wish to apply this for.
Step 2: XML File to set PDF reader as acrobat and chrome as default browser
Step 3: XML File to set chrome as the default browser and pdf reader
Step 4: Copy Files To Local Computer

Create a GPO and under: 'computer configuration → Preferences → Windows Settings → Files'
Create two files that are set to update. One file will have the source set to the acrobat xml file, and the other will have the source set to the chrome xml file. The XML file has the file to program association information set in it. Both should have the same target file which should be set to a local location on the computer which will be receiving this policy. On the next step, we decide which file actually gets copied.

Step 6: Set the first item level targeting filter for if acrobat is installed
For the file that has acrobat set as the default, add the condition to check if our program is installed, in this case, we check for the install folder. When you add this, click ok on the prompts and move to the next file.
Step 7: Set the second item level targeting

Step 8: Tell windows to use our xml file
Next, edit the preference item at

Set the default configuration file to the path of the file that you created earlier.

Congratulations, you're done. Be sure to test the GPO to make sure it works well.

- Pimientospicehead-kvyw0 Sep 30, 2019 at 12:20pmHi,this is very good. One question i still have.
what Purpose is step 8. file and is that the originally file association file? - Pimientobhoffman.stapa Oct 10, 2019 at 02:16pmUsed your method to base associations on whether Foxit Reader or Foxit PhantomPDF were installed and worked great. Thanks!
- Chipotlemberna Oct 17, 2019 at 02:40pmSorry for the late reply.
Step 8 tells windows to use the file associations file that we created instead of the default one. So for this, you'll tell it the path of the file that we copied onto our local drive in step 4. - Pimientospicehead-ttxsc Nov 21, 2019 at 10:28pmI don't see File Explorer in Step 8, please assist!
- Chipotlemberna Nov 21, 2019 at 10:43pm@spicehead-ttsxcThe wizard doesn't have a file explorer/browse button at the window shown in step 8. You'll want to copy the path that you used at step 4 and type or paste it into the textbox in step 8.To make it easy, I set it to store on the local drive, but you could also use a network location as long as it is accessible by the computer the policy is being assigned to.
