I have firefox and Adobe Reader. I can download pdf but when I try to open the choices for "open with" don't show adobe Reader. I reset the tablet but still no adobe choice. Adobe is installed. Is there a setting to allow adobe to be chosen as "open with"?

Chosen solution

Clear all defaults in android settings, or just clear the default of whichever program opens automatically to view pdfs.\

Edit: Hmm I'm not sure, make sure adobe works on another .pdf first and that you have the correct version (android).

See if the problem happens in chrome or default browser, then you'll know if its FF or adobe.

Try opening a pdf once outside of FF to set Adobe as the default reader. If it already is, idk try another browser to narrow down the problem.
