In this video tutorial, the issue of PDF files opening with Google Chrome instead of docHub Reader or Acrobat is addressed. One of the symptoms is the Google Chrome icon appearing instead of the docHub Reader icon on PDF files within Outlook or Windows Explorer. The solution is to right-click on a PDF file, go to properties, change the "opens with" field to docHub Reader, and apply the changes. This will fix the problem and set the file association for all PDF files with the .PDF extension to open with docHub Reader.
