Windows 10: Default pdf maker

Wish to install Adobe PDF Pro as default, not Edge. Have followed directions given for choosing defaults. Settings do not allow change. (Desired software is installed, but not listed as an option.)

Hello,

Regarding your PDF documents, the location will be based on where you saved the files. For your second inquiry, your documents can be converted to a PDF. If the original file is from Office Word, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• 
  In Word, select File > Save As.
  
• 
  Select where you want to save the file.
  
• 
  Type a new File name if you want.
  
• 
  For Save as type, select PDF.
  
• 
  For Optimize for, select an option: Standard or
  Minimum Size.
  
• 
  Select Open File After Publishing, if you want to open the file after you save it as a PDF. This is selected by default.
  
• 
  Select Save.
  

If the steps provided is not working, please get back to us with the exact version of your Office Word.

Let us know the result of the suggested steps.
