PDF Scans Photoshop

[crystalg73998347]

When I scan a document it saves as and only opens with Photoshop.  My settings are set to "save as PDF" on my scanner but the computer will ONLY save it as a Photoshop document and has the PS logo.  I cannot view the scan without opening Photoshop, which slows down my work production.  This started a few months ago.  I have current up-to-date Photoshop and work with Windows 7. 

How do I go back to the way it used to be where my scanned documents were saved as a true PDF and not be associated with Photoshop in any way?  I hate this and it's making my workday 10-times longer.

Please, first check if the extension of the generated document is really .pdf,

then In windows 10 try to associate the document to adobe reader:

Associate PDF files to always open in Acrobat or Reader on Windows 10

I use Windows 7.  I don't have windows 10.

Sorry, I forgot to include in my previous response...  Yes, they are set correctly to PDF when they are scanned.

I was able to change to "open with PDF," however, I don't have time to do that for each individual scan.  How do I set it to always open with PDF and to Photoshop so that I don't have to spend my workday spending time reassigning the program for each scan to open with?

Got it to work.  Just as a friendly fyi...  The same instructions for Windows 10 also work for Windows 7. 

Thanks for the help.  🙂
