Hi,
I click on an PDF in the Finder.
Preview launches, opens my PDF AND OPENS A OPEN-DIALOG (iCloud) ?😕
Why? iCloud is nice, but things like that are annoying and I wish sometimes I can go back to Snow Leopard.😠
Is there a secret workaround to fix this?
Maybe a secret scew driver? 😝🙂
Many greetings to all!

Simple. Go to System Preferences > iCloud and turn off Documents and data
If you are opening a file for which preview is the default viewer for in the finder, you want to access that file, not view the icloud / on my mac open window. Not only does this window open, but it opens on top of the window showing the file you are opening, causing you to have to click cancel every time, to get to work.
Suggestion to apple:

That's exactly the way Preview works for most of us. I don't know why you and Robert Loch2 are experiencing something different.
Same thing here. Verry annoying! Make a Preview pref to enable disable this feathure.
Switching off Document and data in iCloud is not the solution.
I need iCloud but I want to decide myself when.
I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
How to disable the open dialog when I open preview?
