Not able to View PDF Documents in Android Phone using Windows 10 PC

[Blissed]

I was always able to view PDF Documents in my phone while it was connected via USB to my Windows 7 PC. Like you would a flashdrive.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, Lollipop.

I am able to view photos and even edit photos in my phone while connected to my Windows 10 PC.

However, when I click on a PDF document to open it, the browser opens up to a home page. So I have to copy and save the document to my PC in order to print it.

I would like to not have to "connect" my phone to my PC, which what Windows wants. I would like to be able to be able to open up a PDF document saved on my phone using my Windows 10 PC, like I used to with my Windows 7 PC.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? or know how to fix it?

Your PC is set up to open pdf in Edge. Change your PC default apps to open using Adobe Reader. If you don't have it installed on your PC, install it

Or install something like Foxit MobilePDF on the phone, and read it on the phone. (You can also use Foxit on the PC - it's much lighter weight than Adobe.)

While we are checking things....
Check to make sure the USB connection on the phone is set to "MTP" or "all files" or the like -- not "photo transfer" or the like.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I didn't know of this app.

I checked this setting. It is set to MTP. Thank you very much.
