Adobe Acrobat - Reader

Hello,

So I work for a company which uses SAP, which I know uses Adobe Reader. One of the departments needs Adobe Acrobat installed on their computers for obvious reasons editing. I have defaulted Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard as the default application to use when opening .PDF files. Whenever I try double-clicking on a .PDF file it always chooses to open with the Reader vs. Acrobat. I have tried "Open With" > "Choose Program" and selected Acrobat 9 Standard. Also tried changing the application in the properties settings of the file. The reason why I keep reader and Acrobat is because SAP needs the Reader to view .PDF files within the SAP program

Is there a fix?

So It seems like I found a solution to this issue. Posting it because maybe someone that does have the same issue can do the same procedure.

I uninstalled both Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Then reinstalled Reader first then Acrobat second it seems that fixed the issue
