How do I make 'Preview' the default PDF viewer and downloader?

When you live in Mac OS and want to make the application Preview your default PDF application, follow these steps:

1. Find a .pdf file. Any one will do. Actually, if you wish you can create a new empty file and it will work for this purpose, as long as it ends in .pdf .

2. Click once on the .pdf file to select it.

3. Hit Command I or choose Get Info from the Finder file menu.

4. In the Get Info window, go to the "Open with:" section, clicking on the small arrow head to open it if necessary.

5. Click on the popup menu and select "Preview".

6. Click the "Change All..." button.

7. That's it! You've just made Preview the default viewer for .pdf files. If you have Adobe Reader installed, there is no reason to delete it. There will be times when you will need some of its features. The two can coexist on your Mac.

  1. BullGuard is not responding
    Sometimes, BullGuard stops responding due to which your device goes under danger. In that case, it is recommended to check your BullGuard subscription and if it has been expired then subscribe it and then restart your PC to resolve the issue.
