This is probably not the right forum to ask such a question but we have so many talented people.  Does anyone know how to get windows to accept acrobat x pro as the default pdf viewer?  Only want to give me things like acrobat DC as an alternative to windows own viewer.

Go to All Settings > Apps > Defaults Apps

Another way to do it is to right click on a PDF file in Windows Explorer, select Open with > Other programs > check the Always Open with this program box and select Acrobat as the program.

I'll try again but when I do this, it does not give acrobat x pro as an option. Acrobat x pro is on the computer and runs but is not listed as an option with either of these methods.

I got it. You have to remove all traces of acrobat DC pro before you have acrobat x as an option. DC version never activated but auto installed by adobe. Can coexist with acrobat DC reader
