can I tell zotero standalone to open files in acrobat?

blazey
As the title says, I'd like zotero to open pdfs in Acrobat, not reader. Is there an option to define that?

    Ok, I just assigned Acrobat as the default program for pdfs in Windows. Now zotero follows.
  • adamsmith
    Yes, that's the way to go.

    It's not possible to assign a custom PDF program for just Zotero at this time. It's an increasingly frequent request, though, so that might happen, too.

    Hmm. I want this too, but I want pdf xchange. I can't get windows to default to anything other than reader. So, that first, I guess.
  • adamsmith
    This is a good set of instructions for Windows:

    should definitely work.

    Hi- Yeah, I got Windows to change default for pdfs. My problem is that within Windows explorer, when I am looking at files, it always reverts back to adobe reader. It may be something my employer did.

    But I think zotero is all set as it is opening the associated file (and not going through explorer).

    Thanks though.
