Open File After Publishing to PDF opens file from Cloud in Webapp rather than default PDF app

Hello,

As per the description provided, you would like to know if there is a way to open the PDF file after publishing the Word file using the PDF reader rather than opening from browser.

If you’re saving the file locally on the computer, then it will find the PDF reader app installed on the computer to open it.

If you have saved the file in the network location then it opens using the browser built-in PDF add-in.

For further clarifications, reply and we would be happy to assist.

Thank you.

Not quite. Since I run Windows 7, I have the OneDrive app downloaded and installed so my local OneDrive folder is automatically synched to OneDrive in the Cloud. I open an Excel workbook from the local OneDrive folder, I export to PDF/XPS in that same local OneDrive folder, and the file association for .pdf files on my computer is to Acrobat X. In spite of that, the file opens in a Word Web app from the Cloud. If you'd like to see a PSR playback that happening I can post one.

What you describe is how I would expect it to work, but that's not what's happening.

I am in TripApps boat as well.

Also, Elemental's response of "that is how it works" simply is not true. This opening a "saved as" pdf document on OneDrive web app only started happening for me when I upgraded to Windows 10.
