Usually that viewer is the browser, so by default Edge is the default PDF viewer.
- pcdevils 4y agoPart of the push to use the browsers pdf engine was a result of Adobe acrobat being an endless festival of security bugs. Loading it in the browser allows them to reuse the same sandboxing. Pretty good idea for most folk. I like sumatrapdf because it keeps track of the pdfs I have open and the page. Like having an ebook reader on windows that doesn't suck.

The browsers are also "an endless festival of security bugs." Especially since they started to execute remote code. I can't view pdfs in browser.
