Find a pdf on your machine, click on it once and enter CMD-I on the keyboard. When the info panel pops up, select the section that says "Open with". Click on the drop down tab and select your version of Acrobat - then select the "Change All" button below that. If Acrobat doesn't appear in that menu yu have to 'navigate' to it and select it. Should do the trick.
