If you select the document file and do a Get Info (Command-I) you will
find a section pretty far down called Open With. This could be a
collapsed disclosure triangle. If you expand it (spacebar) you'll find a
pop up button to choose which app you want that document to be opened
with. A little further on you'll find a Change All button. Action that
(space) and choose Continue from the "Are you sure..." dialog. That will
change the association of all files of that type to now use the
application you have chosen unless something else changes it elsewhere.
This generally works with any document although I've had trouble with
some. For example, I'd like to have .html files open in a text editor
but they keep getting changed to open in Safari. Not sure why or how to
fix it. I suspect Safari might be making that change without my asking
it and it's possible Acrobat might also try to re-take control of PDF
files sometime down the road.
Hope this helps.

Guys,
What is the equivalent of file associations in the Mac world.
Currently, all PDFs open in an inaccessible version of Acrobat
Reader. I can read things in Preview, but don't know how to make all
PDFs open in Preview instead of Acrobat. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Kevin
