Adobe Reader vs Adobe Acrobat Pro

Question

I was able to make and compile PDF docs in the Adobe Acrobat
Pro. Today, every time I click on the Pro, the Reader opens where I
have no editing ability. I'm simply trying to create a flyer, like
I always had, where I combined several PDF docs into one and
organized the pages. Every shortcut for Pro is opening as the
Reader. What gives? This is sucking up my time and I'm getting
frustrated. Did I do something wrong? I'm simply saving a Word doc
as a PDF and then opening that PDF in Pro.

Hello sanitra,
See if you can open Acrobat Pro manually, then within Acrobat
using file:open (or some opening variation), choosing the Word/PDF
doc you want to open up, from within Acrobat pro.
If all double-clicks of pdfs are opening up in Reader, and
you do not wish for it to do so, you will want to change the
application association for .pdf files to reflect Acrobat Pro,
instead of the Reader application.
Perhaps the Reader got set as the default application upon
install.
Alternatively, this question would best be asked in the
Acrobat Forums.
