word pad and encoding is making is making viewing hard

[Rodney d]

When i go to view pdf files the encoding ask for choice of making it readable.
I do not want this interference and need to make possible to just open up
pdf files.
It was also viewing in wordpad which i do not want to do.
Is there some tab that i'm missing or do i need to configure some thing?

Neither Word nor WordPad can open PDF files directly. The PDF file
type should be associated with Acrobat Reader or another PDF program.

Right-click any PDF file and choose Properties. In the section of the
dialog that shows which program should open the file, click the Change
button and choose Acrobat Reader.
