How to tell Ranorex to open the pdf report with Adobe Acrobat?

Post by melodican » Thu Dec 22, 2022 3:13 pm

I'm using the Ranorex Automation Helper ReportToPDFModule, which is working fine. In the Ranorex report, in the After Test Suite section, there is even a link to the pdf report (Success PDFReport Successfully created PDF: Open PDF ).

But when I click on the link, the Internet Explorer opens (instead of the Acrobat Reader which is the default App for pdf files on my PC) displaying an empty window. When I open the pdf file outside Ranorex, evrything is working fine: the Acrobat Reader displays the pdf report correctly.

Is there an option / settings somewhere telling Ranorex (version 10.1.7) to open the pdf file with Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of the Internet Explorer?
