How do I open PDF files in Acrobat, not Safari?

Question

Sorry for such a dumb question, but I would like to open & view PDF files in Acrobat (v7.03 standard) rather than in Safari when I go to a PDF file in Safari, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. (OS 10.4.2)

Ok, You can do one of 2 things.
Go where ever you find something that needs you to download to view as a .pdf.
If it opens in your browser as a pdf but not with the Adobe logo save it to your desktop by either opening the print dialogue and clicking "Save as PDF".
You can actually do that with any document. Then just highlight but dont open and click on "Get Info".
Once inthe dialogue ,look to the part that says "Open with" and locate and select Adobe 7.0.3. Click 'Open With' to select the dailogue that says, 'Use this application to open all documents like this.'
Click 'Change all'
That should do it.
Also you can right click on a mac pdf document and get the dialogue 'Open with' and find and select Acrobat. You will be asked by Adobe if you want to make Acrobat the defaulf programme for such files.
There used to be somewhere that you could just go to and download a simple pdf that when clicked on just presented you with the last piece of this method.
You could also just stick in a CD of a programme that you have bought for your Mac, drag any PDF that may appear on the CD to your desktop and perform the latter part of instructions.
