When I opened a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat, I accidentally made all my PDF icons Adobe Acrobat icons. I've reset Preview as my default viewer but would like to change the PDF icons back to the generic icon rather than Adobe Acrobat red. Is it possible to change them all at once? I'm using Sonoma 14.11.
PS. This is my first time posting. I am using an I-MAC with Sonoma 14.11 -- not the Mac Book Pro.
MacBook Pro
Choose a PDF file that has the Adobe image
Control click it
A sub menu appears
Use the " Open with "
Choose to open in available applications available, in your case Preview
Be sure to make Preview the Default
It may or may not offer to change ALL files to Preview
When you changed it back to Preview, did you click “Change All…”
That should have done what you wanted.
Thanks, link number three worked -- though I will have to see if I need to do this one at a time for all the PDF files!
This one did change preview to the default viewer, but not the icon. Clicking the preview icon in the top left of the get info window for a PDF, did change the icon, though only one at a time.
Correction. It only changed one file at a time on the desktop, but after I changed three of these PDF icons and opened another folder, all of those PDFs were back to preview icons. Thanks!!!
