So all my pdf files on my computer have the "unknown" icon, the white page with the little windows symbol i tried everything installed the latest reader for my OS updated did the open with... and checked off always open with this program all to no avail any advice?
right click .pdf file, properties, Opens with: xxxx , click change and choose whatever pdf reader program you use, be it, foxit or adobe. Programs shiould show up in a list, or you might have to browse for the .exe of the .pdf reader program
yes, i have no problems opening the file all my pdf's will open fine i just want the icon to be a normal adobe icon instead of the generic "unknown" icon tell me more about this foxit program can you enter text on pdf's? i had the free trial of adobe pro 7 for 30 days and really enjoyed all the features it came with but couldn't justify the expense for how little i would use it
Open a folder, click Tools then File and Folder Options Click the File Type tab scroll down until you see the .pdf listing double click that and in the properties window click change icon and finally find the Adobe program and set the icon to that.
