Scott Guerinoni (Customer) asked a question.
I use a PDF editing program called 'PDF XChange Editor' which is similar to Adobe Pro in functionality.
LEAP by default opens PDFs in Adobe Reader, is it possible to change the file type association for PDFs to open in PDF XChange Editor instead of Adobe Reader?

Hello Scott, it is possibly that altering the default program association in Windows will still enable all .PDF functionality with LEAP. However please keep in mind that in diagnosing any related problems, our Helpdesk team may ask you to revert back to our recommended defaults.
Hi Simon,
I wish it were that simple! The file association for PDFs was changed to PDF XChange when we changed over.
This is a Leap specific issue.
I have the default set as Pdf XChange as well, but documents always default to Adobe when within the Leap environment. We've found that we just need to export documents out of Leap to do any edits then put back into the Leap environment or do edits prior to putting into Leap to begin with.
Thanks for your reply Caroline. I'm glad I am not alone!
We are currently using the same workaround.
