change default reader/viewer

Keebler125 · 12-01-2023, 07:29 AM

I am using 6.29 (posed to upgrade shortly to 7.1). W10

I need to know how change the default viewer/reader from epub to pdf since most of the ebooks I have right now are in PDF format.
I really do not want to convert them to epub, but would prefer when I double click on a book, the PDF version opens instead of the epub (if available) or AZW (if available) or any other format. is this possible?

I have disabled the
PREFERENCES>>> BEHAVIOR >>> use internal viewer for epub, AZW, ETC

BUT, Calibre still wants to open epub over pdf or any other format.
Can I change this? again my preferred format (at least now) is PDF.

thank you

OKAY
so here is what happened..
PREFERENCES >>> BEHAVIOR

under preferred input format
I moved epub, azw, etc to the bottom of the list and moved PDF to the top

now every ebook opens as a PDF with my default PDF reader/viewer

I probably could have just moved the PDF to the top without moving the others to the bottom... but its a learning experience

thank you
