Before, when I used print preview, Mac OSX opened the preview application. However, since installing adobe acrobat, it now opens that instead. I can't seem to find where I can change this. Reason being, it just takes a lot longer to open up acrobat than the Preview app. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Mike

In the print dialog, choose "Save as PDF...". Select the PDF in the Finder, open the Get Info dialog (from the File menu or the context menu), open the Open with panel and select Preview.app. Then press the Apply to all button. The next print preview will open in Preview.app.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Ahh tried that and it didn't work.. Anything other ideas? Is there a general "helper app" type pref panel anywhere?
