When you are familiar with the app, and you want it to be your default app, tapping Always comes handy. But sometimes, we accidentally tap Always which results in opening the file in the wrong app. What if the app can no longer support those files or keeps crashing?
The same happened with a friend of mine a few days back with the PDF files. The worst thing, some files were not opening at all. What does one do in such situations? The solution is easy. You just have to change the default PDF viewer on your phone.
Then you have to remove it as your default PDF viewer app. When you do so, you will be asked again to choose a default app. For that, open any PDF file. Once it launches in the new PDF viewer, tap the Recent apps key on your phone to view all the open apps.
Notice the name of the app opening your PDF file. There are two ways to do that. Step 1: Open the Recent apps screen.
Then tap and hold the app icon that is launching your PDF files. Tap on the App info option. Step 2: You will be taken to the App info screen. Hit Advanced followed by Open by default. Step 3: Tap on Clear defaults, if available on your phone. But if the option is missing, tap on Open by default followed by Clear defaults. Once you clear the defaults for the new PDF reader, you will be asked to set a default app when you open any PDF file.
Select the app and tap on Always. Here's how you can set your default PDF reader to Smallpdf from your app settings. Click on the Windows "Start" button and select "Settings" from the menu. Then select "Default apps", scroll down to bottom of the right screen, and select "Choose default applications by file type. First select the file type for which you want to set a default app in this case, that's.
Then, on the right side of the page, you'll be able to see the current program setup for this specific file type. Now you can select Smallpdf as your default PDF reader.
Here, we offer you some quick and easy steps to make sure that when you open a PDF, it automatically opens up in Smallpdf, so you can start working on it right away. Here's how to set your default PDF viewer to Smallpdf using file explorer.
To get started, first right-click on your PDF file and select "Properties. Next, you'll see a pop-up window, where you'll be prompted to select the software or application you want to use. Check the box to "Always use this app" and select "OK.
