That’s true! A recent update for my PDF viewer caused issues with changing defaults. I had to revert to an older version.
I’ve noticed that some apps just refuse to be removed as defaults. You might have to uninstall and reinstall them to reset their default preferences.
That sounds extreme! But if it works, it’s worth it. Anyone else tried this?

I love that we’re all sharing tips! But honestly, why can’t they just make it easier to change defaults? It baffles me!
Exactly! It feels like a secret club. Can’t they just create a simple toggle for it?

Can anyone explain why sometimes the newer versions actually cause more bugs instead of fixing old ones? I just want a peaceful PDF experience!

We all do! Sometimes, I think I need a stress ball just to handle my PDF worries! 
This has been such a helpful discussion. Reflecting on all the different routes we can take to solve these issues makes me feel more prepared for when they happen again!
If you’re looking to change your default PDF viewer, check out apps like Adobe Acrobat Reader, Foxit PDF, and Xodo. Each has unique features that cater to different needs!
I’ve personally found Adobe Acrobat Reader to be very user-friendly and feature-rich. The annotation tools are a huge plus!
I’ve tried both Foxit PDF and Xodo, and honestly, both are quite good. Xodo has a nicer interface, but Foxit’s features seem more robust. It really depends on your preferences.
I’m all for Xodo! The way it integrates with cloud services makes accessing my PDFs a breeze. Plus, you can edit your documents directly, which is awesome.
That’s true, Robert. I have noticed Xodo’s interface is smoother, but I keep returning to Foxit because of the advanced sharing options.

Does anyone here use PDFelement? I’ve heard good things about its editing capabilities, but I’m curious about its reliability on Android.
I tried PDFelement, and while it has great features, I found it a bit buggy on my device. What’s your experience?
I think usability matters the most. For me, Xodo wins because I’m not tech-savvy. I just need something that works without complications!
I get that, Kyle! Xodo’s simplicity indeed appeals to users looking for quick access without the hassle.
I have to disagree! I feel that Adobe Acrobat has the most comprehensive set of tools, and skipping those for an easier app feels like a downgrade.
That’s a fair point, Zachary. But for casual users, too many features can be overwhelming, don’t you think?
Every app has its quirks. Just like my ex, some are great on paper but terrible in practice! Just try using a few different ones until you find the right fit.
