    How to open links to PDF without Acrobat?

    I usually use an alternative to Adobe Acrobat to open my PDFs, but whn I click in excel on an hyperlink to a PDF it is opened by Adobe Acrobat. Can I select which application to use to open PDF links?

    Have you tried setting the association for .pdf files?

    Try right clicking on any .pdf file. From the menu, choose "Open with", select the program you use for reading .pdf files, and make sure you tick "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".

    I don't think there's a setting in Excel.

    If you've got another .pdf reader, why not uninstall Acrobat and see what happens. You can always re-install it.

    Then I guess you need to talk to your admin.
