pdf default viewer within SAS 9.4 for "Results Viewer - sasprt" window

[BorjaV]

How can I change the pdf default viewer within SAS 9.4 "Results Viewer - sasprt" window for "ODS pdf" (presentely Foxit, but it doesn't work as good as previously Adobe Reader, that I set again as the default reader in Windows 10 System but has not changed in SAS). Thanks,

Did you restart SAS after changing the default?

I would suspect that SAS pulls some information from the system as to file associations when it starts and uses them while the SAS session is active.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I restarted SAS (and computer). It firstly worked with Adobe Reader, but as I have Foxit Phantom PDF installed I though it was a good idea to have it as default pdf Reader in Windows, but it doesn't work as nicely as Adobe within SAS, then I changed again to Adober Reader as default Reader in Windows, where it Works, but SAS did no ackowledge this 2nd change. Is there any file within SAS directory where the default Reader is set and SAS reads when it opens (as for Java version). Borja

Today SAS acknowledged Adobe as default Reader without doing anything special from my side. Borja
