Cannot open a PDF file

Question

I am not able to open the PDF file?

I suspect you have no default PDF reader set up in Windows. Adobe Acrobat Reader is probably the PDF reader of choice, but any major browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge) will work, and in fact Windows 11's default PDF reader (if you install from scratch) is Edge. To set up a default PDF reader app, visit Settings > Apps > Default apps, and in the box under 'Set a default for a file type or link type' search for '.pdf'. If there is no app selected, that's probably why you're having trouble. If you do install Acrobat Reader (you probably want to de-select the 'optional offers' before downloading) it will prompt you to make it the default the first time you use it.

What is your exact model number and are you using Adobe Acrobat to open PDF files? Second question, is it any PDF file or a specific file?
