Hi Lowell, You probably just installed Adobe Reader, and it asked you if you wanted it to open all pdf-files, and like most people you hit enter and thereby agreed. No big deal. Preview, not Picture Viewer is the application that you want to open pdf-files with, and you make that change by selecting a pdf-file in the finder, get info on it, either through the menu, with cmd-i or with the contextual menu. In the info choose "Open with" and select Preview, and then click on the button below, saying that you want to change it for all files like that, and agree to that change. That should do it. I use both, but I can't wait for Panther, as that is going to have an extremely fast and probably good pdf-viewer. Was that thorough enough?
