I am currently receiving emails that have pdf files attached. When I click
to open, it tries to open in Paperport(another program on our computer). How
do I change that to open in Adobe? I am currently copying and pasting to a
word document to open.

Hey i once had a similar issue with a different file type. For me it turned
out that the program windows used by default to open that file type needed to
be changed to Outlook. This can be done by saving one of your pdf files to
your desktop, anywhere works but desktop is easiest for me. Right click and
chose Open With. Find and select outlook and clock the checkbox that says
always use this program to open. When your done any pdf files that you try to
open via outlook should then be opened in outlook. Hope this helps.

Outlook cannot natively open PDF files. You must first have a PDF reader
program (such as Acrobat Reader) installed on the PC.

Redshaw3 - do you have Acrobat Reader (or Acrobat Pro or a similar PDF
reader/application) installed on your PC? If you do, you need to change the
file association for PDF files from PaperPort to Acrobat Reader (not
Outlook).

I think uninstalling/reinstalling, or upgrading to the latest version of
Adobe Reader will fix the file association.
