Question
How can I open a PDF if I am unable to sign-in to Adobe?
Overview
When opening a PDF on my Windows PC Adobe is asking me to sign in. To resolve this so that you can open your PDF file, do the following:
Option 1: Sign into Adobe using your Adobe account
Option 2: Switch the default application from Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader, which also opens PDFs but doesn’t require signing in
There are several ways to do this, here is one efficient method:
Using a PDF file on your computer (not in an email), right mouse click on the file to open the context menu
Select Open with, then select Choose another app
First select Always use this app to open .pdf files, then select Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
If successful, PDF’s will now open in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC without requiring signing in rather than in Adobe Acrobat which does require signing in.
