Why does Samsung Print open on PDFs

[Android Central Question]

hey I'm not very techy but I got a S8 and whenever I try opening a PDF in email or some messaging app it always opens to Samsung print service. I would like it to open to Adobe acrobat reader or something similar. How do I do this? I've tried with the default apps but can't seem to get anywhere.

Have you downloaded the Adobe PDF app yet ?

yes

Go into settings , apps, and then default apps. Make sure that there isn't a default app already chosen . If there is a default already chosen clear it out then try to open a PDF again.Once you try to open the PDF it should ask what default app you wanted it to be opened with where you can pick Adobe. I hope my explanation is clear and can help you.

Hi, so to fix this issue I went to Settings > Apps > (find the app that is opening, in your case Samsung Print, click it) > Set As Default > Clear Defaults.
Next time you open a PDF it will ask what app you want to use.
Just an FYI, when you choose which app to open pdf if you select 'Just Once' it will ask again next time you opena PDF. If you chose say 'Adobe PDF Viewer' and selected 'Always' then it won't ask it will just open Adobe, at some stage you must have done this with Samsung Print. Thanks
