How do i stop microsoft word always trying how to change pdf to word

When I open a pdf file, I always get the pop up- word will now convert your pdf to an editable word document etc. Is there any way of turning it off?

I assume that you must be opening the pdf by double clicking on it.  What you need to do is right click on one and then select Open with and set Adobe Reader as the default application for opening such files.


If you do not have Adobe Reader, you can download it from the Adobe website.

Hope this helps,

Hi Das,

 

Does this message occurs only when you open a specific PDF file?

 

You may remove and recreate the file association using the following link and check if the issue resolves.
