Hey everyone

I recently uninstalled Adobe Reader and now when I open a PDF in safari, preview doesn't open. I just get a grey screen with nothing. Can someone please tell me how to restore Preview as the default program to open when working with PDF's?

Thank you! :D

How about specifying what you did in case someone else has this problem?

Oh Ok I didn't know they didn't get closed. Anyways...what I did was use an app called "appcleaner"---> AppCleaner (Mac) - Download

Upon opening the app...I clicked on "others" at the top of the application....the first few items should list "Adobe..."...searched those files and anything related to PDF/Reader...

Clicked Delete to remove all associated files, and upon doing so it automatically restored Preview back to safari as the default when opening PDF files!

:) Hope this helps!
