No pop ups but PDFs?

Hello, I’m having an issue of my iMac not opening links in Infinity Campus as fillable documents and rather opening them in PDF documents. It was ok a week ago, but today all links open in Acrobat Reader. How can I fix this?

TIA!

iMac 27″, macOS 12.2

Some files don't open when double-clicking them in Finder Has anyone encountered this issue in macOS Ventura 13.3 on a MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021)? Double-clicking a file in Finder opens the application but not the actual file (for example, Word(.docx)-files in "Downloads" or "Desktop" will make the Word-application "bounce", but the file is never actually opened) Some files however do open, but the placement of the file doesn't seem to matter (the issue occurs for both "Downloads" and "Desktop", but also works for some documents in both locations) Same issue for some .pdf-files which should be opened in Preview.app Previews of files work in Finder You can "get around" the issue by going to File > Open from within the app, this always works

iMac Mid 2011 OS - High Sierra won't allow me to open certain links/attachments. OK on all other devices. I cannot open an attachment from paperlesspost on my iMac. Also, I cannot open a link I was sent to e-sign a document. Other similar examples where i just see a spinning circle after entering correct username and PW credentials. I ONLY have this problem on the iMac. Everything works as it should on my MacBook pro, iPhone and iPad. It doesn't matter what browser I use... the problem remains. So confused as to why this is happening. Please assist if you can. Thanks

If they are .pdf format, Acrobat Reader is the correct 3rd party app. I prefer built-in Preview app but either is acceptable.

If you don't want to use Acrobat Reader, uninstall it per Adobe instructions.

Depending on how the .pdf was constructed, some are interactive (fillable?) but they don't have to be ... author's choice.
