How do I uninstall Adobe Reader?

I installed Adobe Reader and it has converted all my PDF Documents to Adobe PDF documents. I don't like it, I want to uninstall it. What will happen to all my PDF Documents if I uninstall it?

iMac 27″, macOS 13.5

Installing the Adobe Reader didn't convert anything. It simply told the OS to make itself the default app to use when you double click a PDF.


If you want Preview to be the default, right click on any PDF and choose Get Info. Under the Open With heading, choose Preview, then click the Change All button.


Edit: Too slow. Barney-15E already suggested the latter.
