Making it the default

Open any PDF, pick Opensolr PDF Reader, tap Always. Every PDF opens straight into its pages from then on.

Android asks which app should open a PDF. Pick Opensolr PDF Reader once, tap Always, and every PDF opens straight into its pages.

01 · Making it the default
  1. Open any PDF: from Files, Google Drive, a mail, a download.
  2. In the list Android shows, pick Opensolr PDF Reader.
  3. Tap Always.
02 · When another app already opens PDFs
  • Android does not ask while another app is the default. Open Settings → Apps, open that app, then Open by default (or Set as default) and tap Clear defaults.
  • Open a PDF again: the list comes back, and you pick Opensolr PDF Reader.
03 · Going back to another app
  • Settings → Apps → Opensolr PDF Reader → Open by default → Clear defaults. The next PDF asks again.
