[G4] Default PDF app

[Wilkin, Wayne (Mass)]

  Get info on any PDF file.  Click on the "Open With" arrow. Select
"Preview" from the pulldown menu. And then select "Apply to All" underneath
that. Hope this helps.

     This is probably so obvious it should be in an FAQ somewhere, but 
I haven't managed to find the answer. I installed Adobe Reader 6.0 on 
my G4 running 10.2.6, and now it's the default for PDF files --- 
i.e., all screen captures get Adobe instead of Preview icons, and 
double-clicking them has the predictable effect of launching 
Reader.... which takes forever compared with Preview.

     Now I don't want to uninstall Reader completely; it clearly has 
lots of useful capabilities (like text search) that Preview doesn't. 
But (finally) how do I get the system to go back to Preview as the 
default PDF app?

     Sorry to waste the time of all of the wise and munificent members 
of this list (at least the ones who aren't on vacation), but thanks.
