Hello boborsky,

Please open our Viewer, and go to Edit -> Preferences -> File Associations and click the "Make Default PDF Viewer" button there, and from this point on you should be able to open PDF documents by double clicking.

This is of course presuming that you are using the installed version of our Viewer, as the portable can not make this association.

Best,
Stefan
