In this case, they may have simply no idea how pick the application

"I really [hate] the programs that open an application if it isn't
the one I would normally use." Right, point well taken, I think we
all find that behavior somehow "abusive" in a subtle way.
Yes, that's what I meant :-)
So, then, (he scratches his head, pulls his whiskers) if not Acrobat,
but "my PDF default" what is the solution?
I think for Windows, you need to query the registry, but for Mac OS X,
you need to look in the users Library -> Preferences folder and check
the file called: com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
Searching for PDF, I find an entry that lists a bundle signature of
"prvw" and using the AppleScript below, I can see that this refers to
"Preview.app"
tell application "Finder"
return the name of application file id "prvw"
end tell
HTH,
Sarah
