Re: Does Netsoft Router muck up Acrobat .PDF file association in Windows?

Hi Dan,

I didn't see this mentioned in any of the other replies -- what is your
default Windows printer?  If you start Acrobat, and the default Windows
printer is an AS400 printer, it might be causing the problem you're seeing.

OTOH, re the 2nd part of your post -- when you say Acrobat doesn't "stick",
what Windows application is started when you double-click a .PDF file?
Notepad?  Something else?  I'd suspect that application of hijacking the
association; some Windows applications ask if you'd like them to be the
default app for a particular file extension, and some apps may not ask.

Does Netsoft Router muck up Acrobat .PDF file association in Windows?

Don't know if they're related.  Everytime I start up Acrobat, the
Netsoft router wants me to sign on to the AS/400!!!  (We use CA for
5250 support.)  I can cancel through it, but it's still an annoyance.
Anyone dealt with this?

Also, for some reason, I can't seem to make Adobe Acrobat PDF files
"stick" to being associated with the Acrobat app; it seems to want to
default to a text file type.  I've never experienced this before.

TIA, Dan
