PDF files all saving as Preview files - why has this changed? Every time I save or create a PDF file - even if it's a word document, it now saves as a preview file with the preview icon rather than the PDF icon. I can not figure out how to stop this from happening. I have tried 'open with' and now it converts the file to a word document, which is often distorted and scrambled/unreadable, so that is not reliable, and when I need to send/attach a file to someone it requires adobe to open. Everyone of my PDF files now have the preview icon. What has changed? This is definitely not the way it's always been. I'm not exactly sure when the change happened but it's been a couple of months. Can I go back to the 'old way' of saving PDF's?
