Hi

Thank you for your question.

One option you have is to install either a new copy of Adobe Reader or another stand alone *.pdf reader for your computer. You can find a selection here.

Alternatively, you can use Firefox as a *.pdf reader:

  1. Go to Start Menu, Settings, System, Default Apps, Choose default apps by file type.
  2. Scroll down the list of file types till you get to .pdf and set it to Firefox.
  3. In Firefox, type about:preferences#applications in the address bar and find Portable Document Format (PDF) and change the setting as required. Mine is set to Preview in Firefox.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
