How To Open A Pdf File

What is a PDF File? PDF was created by Adobe in the 1990s to achieve two things. The first is that people should be able to open the documents on any hardware or operating system, without needing to have the app used to create them—all you need is a PDF reader, and these days most web browsers fit the bill.

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

Are you facing any issues with opening the .PDF files?
What exactly happens when you try to click on the files?
Have you installed any .PDF reader application?

I would suggest you to check if the pdf files are set as default under Default programs.

1.Press Windows key, type default programs and select Default Programs.
2.Click on Default apps.
3.Here you may choose which app should open which extensions. If you had not installed any third party reader applications, you may choose Microsoft Edge.

You may also check if you had installed Reader app on Windows 10. If not, I suggest you to download the app from the Windows Store and check if that helps to resolve the issue.

Please do let us know if you are able to open the .PDF files. If the issue still persists, we will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

There are many choices. The most popular choice is to install the free Adobe Reader.

But in my view, the *best* choice is to install the free Foxit Reader. Get it here:
