Question
for some reason when I click on a PDF file Illustrator opens all of my PDF file in Illustrator.  How do I correct this?  I have never had this happen.

Answer
Hi Stephen,

First, select the file on your desktop the on a mac go to file>get info and find the "open with" pull down and choose Acrobat. Then click the "apply to all" button to make sure all PDFs are changed.

For windows, go to the file properties (right click on the file icon) and choose Acrobat as the open with app and apply to all as well.

Thanks
