How do I make Acrobat 9 Pro my default pdf app?

I used to have this set until an upgrade of the OS or ... when I installed Acrobat 9 Pro??

I am still running OS 10.5.8, though will upgrade to SL soon.

Anyway, I can't figure out how to make Acrobat my default instead of Preview when I:

1) open a pdf file on the web, or

2) double click on a generic pdf (such as one sent as an email attachment), or

3) export to Acrobat from Apple's Pages

Any suggestions would be REALLY appreciated!

Thanks

Thanks, that did the trick.  Now whenever I click on a PDF, Acrobat opens.
