Adobe Acrobat Reader Dc Download Free Pdf Viewer For Windows

Since Windows 10 ONLY allows me as a sys admin to set a list of default application associations via an .xml file ONE TIME at a computer login or a user login via GPO, HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GOOGLE CHROME REPEATEDLY KEEP CHANGING THE DEFAULT PDF VIEWER TO ITSELF FOR MY USERS????

I've been working on this for months now and it is really piss poor that Microsoft does not let sys admins control the default file associations to the degree they are doing it now. That would be FAR MORE SECURE than MS deciding that their stupid piss poor browser is the best options if a registry key that controls it is changed. These types of controls might be fine for stupid home users, but not for business. If MS can't successfully allow for optimal functionality between both then perhaps they need to have two lines of products one for business where sys admins are allowed to do their jobs and one for stupid home users.
I just had another user with this issue today. They logged on to their computer, my GPO did its job set the default pdf viewer to Adobe Reader, the user opened/closed several pdf files no problem. A short time later goes to open a pdf file and it opens in CHROME!!!
I scrubbed through the registry on the computer and NOWHERE was there an association between chrome and pdf files, in fact it was quite the opposite every pdf file association and userchoice key was set to Adobe as it should be. However in settings, apps, default apps, view apps by file types it listed chrome and all shortcuts to pdfs had a chrome icon and opened in chrome.
So obviously there is a serious FLAW in Microcraps plan to protect and keep a users default application file associations. So if anyone out there knows how chrome is doing this, when I can't even get around it as a sys admin, or can help fix the root cause of this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
This issue just came up for me today out of the blue. Everything was fine before with Adobe being the default PDF viewer, and then suddenly all my PDF files have the Chrome icon beside it. In my Outlook, all PDF attachments that people sent me also show the Chrome icon.
I am NOT an IT person but I googled to find various possible fixes and I tried a couple with no success. The conversation here is way over my head but since I'm desperate to restore "order", I kept reading. Anyway, I found a simple fix and it actually worked. I forget who to credit but I found it somewhere online, so thanks to that person.
Basically, I went to a file on my computer (which has the Chrome icon beside it). I right-clicked on it and selected "Open with". At this point, I was thinking, "Yeah, yeah, I tried this already". But I read this particular instruction more closely from the webpage I was on, and it said to select "Choose another app". I did that, and Adobe was already selected. BUT THE KEY TRICK IS TO CHECK OFF: "Always use this app to open .pdf files".
I thought, "Can it be this simple?" I tried something like this already but not this actual last step, and sure enough, normalcy was restored! All my PDF files are now showing the Adobe icon beside it, along with the attachments in my Outlook inbox that are supposed to show Adobe.
We are aware of this, and it is our current best option for resolving the issue. However, it has not been a 100% solution. We have had several dozen repeat issues after doing this method, So we are still looking for the silver bullet on this one. What I'm really trying to understand though is how Chrome is able to insert itself as the default pdf viewer in the first place. Supposedly Microcrap has put measures in place to only allow the user to select the default apps, and us as admins can set them only ONCE at initial login, and if it is done any other way Microcrap will revert it to their crappy browser as the default pdf viewer. However in this case they are not able to do it for some reason, Chrome inserts itself and Microcrap leaves it alone, Why?????? How?????? Oh, yeah, it is a Microcrap solution!!!
Thank you so much for a straightforward and quick solution to this issue. I didn't really feel like digging around using the admin tools and the context setting that you have indicated here worked like a champ for me. Not that it works for everyone of course; it is likely that the GPO solution is the more solid one. I was lucky in that this worked and thank you for posting it. Man was it annoying the heck out of me. I am fed up, as I am sure everyone else is, with applications hijacking these settings in users' profiles.
Thank you for posting this! Oddly, after I searched on Google to find an answer to this problem, when I went back to my Adobe file that had been "hijacked" to open as a Google Doc, all of my once hijacked documents now showed they were Adobe files WITHOUT making any changes to them. Strange, huh!
Just in case it decided to revert back, I took your advice and checked off the box that said to always us Adobe to open these files, so we'll see what the future brings. (This is not the first time I've had this issue, and it's only with one of my Adobe folders.)
What the team found was a legacy GPO was used to set either Adobe Read or Adobe Pro as the default PDF reader for the user based on security groups using the next registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.pdf\UserChoice\Progid. A new Hash value in Windows 10 is also added to UserChoice key.
In a repro we found that either having no ProdID or a randomized ProdID, then opening a PDF with Chrome, Chrome would then be the default PDF application. Basically your file association ProdID MUST match the Adobe version hash. If not it will revert.
Setting the file association to Adobe would then create the correct Hash value, then when accessing a PDF with Chrome, it would reload the default. Then we disabled the GP applying the registry change, and have changed to using the Win10 supported method using Set a default associations configuration file GP for our users.
IT admin here. In the last few weeks, I've had this issue spreading across my entire ecosystem. I've been setting the default app associations via the local GPO for years to point to an XML file stored on a share on my file server, and have had zero issues. Now, out of the blue, Chrome is taking over user PC's slowly but surely. The fix, weirdly enough, has been to disable the GPO. That's not a long-term solution however, as I want Chrome to be the forced default browser, and Microsoft seems to love pushing Edge out as the default when doing Win10 version updates.
Edit: Only reason I found out it was the same Id was because of this page: -docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/pdfviewer.html However, keep in mind it is lying to you, that ProgId for Reader has 100% changed.
I can't be the only person who imagined the office of the future, free from the confines of the eight and a half by eleven sheet (or A4, for my international friends), would have long since arrived. Instead, we've managed to land in an intermediate state of not paperless, but less paper.
Between a trusty scanner, email and various other communication tools, and getting really good at organizing my digital archives, I'm not totally unhappy with where we are today. And I do occasionally admit to reading a paper book, sending a postcard, or (gasp) printing something off to give to someone else.
Until the world moves a little further from paper, print-ready file formats will continue to permeate our digital landscape as well. And, love it or hate it, PDF, the "portable document format," seems to be the go-to format for creating and sharing print-ready files, as well as archiving files that originated as print.
For years, the only name in the game for working with PDF documents was Adobe Acrobat, whether in the form of their free reader edition or one of their paid editions for PDF creation and editing. But today, there are numerous open source PDF applications which have chipped away at this market dominance. And for Linux users like me, a proprietary application that only runs on Windows or Mac isn't an option anyway.
Since PDF files are used in so many different situations for so many different kinds of purposes, you may need to shop around to find the open source alternative to Adobe Acrobat that meets your exact needs. Here are some tools I enjoy.
For reading PDFs, these days many people get by without having to use an external application at all. Both Firefox and Chromium, the open source version of Google's Chrome browser, come bundled with in-browser PDF readers, so an external plugin is no longer necessary for most users.
For downloaded files, users of GNOME-based Linux distributions have Evince (or Atril on the GNOME 2 fork, MATE), a powerful PDF reader that handles most documents quickly and with ease. Evince has a Windows port as well, although Windows users may also want to check out the GPLv3-licensed SumatraPDF as an alternative. KDE's Okular serves as the PDF reader for the Plasma Desktop. All of these have the ability to complete PDF forms, view and make comments, search for text, select text, and so on.
Personally, LibreOffice's export functionality ends up being the source of 95% of the PDFs I create that weren't built for me by a web application. Scribus, Inkscape, and GIMP all support native PDF export, too, so no matter what kind of document you need to make -- a complex layout, formatted text, vector or raster image, or some combination -- there's an open source application that meets your needs.
For practically every other application, the CUPS printing system does an excellent job of outputting documents as PDF, because printers and PDFs both rely on PostScript to represent data on page (whether the page is digital or physical).
If you don't need fancy graphical interfaces, you can also generate PDFs through plain text with a few handy terminal commands. Everyone has their favourite, but probably the most popular is Pandoc, which takes nearly any format of document and translates it to nearly any other format. Its ability to translate text formats is staggering, so it's probably all you really need. However, there are several other solutions, including Docbook, Sphinx, and LaTeX.
