Opening Attachments in Preview

Post by William »

How does one force Bookends to open PDF attachments in Preview rather than Acrobat? I much prefer Preview, but I can't seem to have BE always use that app when I press the shift key and click on the attachment button.

In the Finder, select a pdf file. Then Get Info -> set Open With to Preview. That's it.

BTW, in Bookends 8.0.5 the default behavior will be to open attachments in the applications that created them (e.g. Preview or Acrobat Reader, depending on your settings in the Finder). To open them in Bookends, you would hold down the Shift key.
